I have patches to do this based on character class: different classes of
character start in different places (defined by the slaying field in the
character's archetype).  Very trivial patch which worked rather well,
methinks.  I had the mages and wizards starting in the Wizards Guild,
the priests and clerics starting off in a church, etc.  I'll dig out my
patch, work it out w.r.t 0.90.* and send it in...
