In the piratical Shackles, [tengus](/Ancestries.aspx?ID=21) are a regular sight.

Even if your chosen ancestry isn't particularly common in the area where the story takes place, most times you can work with your GM and the other players to find a great way to incorporate that character into the narrative. For these options, the uncommon trait just means you should take that extra step to talk about it first. In a Pathfinder Adventure Path, the accompanying player's guide might include information about additional uncommon options that make sense for that story and its region and grant you automatic access to play them during those adventures.\r\n</aside>\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1413\" />\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1414\" />\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1415\" />\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1416\" />\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1417\" />\r\n\r\n<document level=\"2\" id=\"rules-1427\" />",
