Background Quests Locations?

[GrandMajora]

I just got my first gem for the crown, and I'm wondering when the background related quests show up in game? I thought they were supposed to happen after returning from the tower with the crown in it, but that doesn't seem to be the case?

My party currently has an Aristocrat, a Sellsword, a Spy, and a Lawkeeper.

I can't figure out how to get the quests to prompt, or where I need to go to find them. :(

Mercernary/sellsword got letter from Inn (after you accqurie 3-4 gems not remember.)
Astrocrat got a trigger scene talking to Mayor at city square (after you accqurie 3-4 gems not remember.)

Academic gets it pretty early, after getting Crown.

I have the same question, I've finished the Wanderer's, Spy, & Philosopher's background quests, but keep thinking I'm way past due for the Academic's background to show up, as I've just finished up the lava orcs chapter and just reached level 10, which IRRC is overkill for the critters in the tower.

Are these usually triggered by level or some other scripted event? It *seems* to be both, but can't say that with any certainty.

If I remember correctly the academic background quest is triggered by talking to the scavenger lady who sends you to talk to your old master after you leave the church. The best advice I can give regarding them is to talk to the different NPCs every time you come back to the first town.

Geez, ok...you pointed the way for me. Hadn't thought to talk to that old Gnome after the board was active for collecting loot. I wound up breezing through it easily since I'm level 10 right now, but the completionist in me is very pleased. Thanks for the tip!!
