From the book

A villager grew up in a small village, hamlet or settlement; the Game Judge decides whether it was a fishing, farming or other kind of community, to suit the campaign.

Contacts are the local magistrate if there is one, fellow villagers, peddlers and assorted craftsmen. Two background skills are chosen from Haggling, Additional Language, Basic Seamanship, Barter, Swimming and Riding. For the Atlantean world the book suggests birthplaces along the Mediterranean coast, in northern Atlantis, or on the Erian or Gondwanan coasts.
