A Great Many Ways

There are a great many ways to go through life in the world I have created in my mind. The strict caste system does not allow certain paths in life, but there are still many ways a person can make a good living.

The majority of people make a simple living as farmers or craftsmen, but there are people who thrive on seeing places no one has ever seen before. These few make their living as traders of rare items. Without any powers to speak of these wanderers have to use their wits to survive in the Wild Lands.

Wanders are territorial and only share their information with their proteges, and some will kill to protect a lucrative place in the Wild Lands. Some of the most prized possessions in the world were rare trinkets brought back by wanderers that died before passing on the location they found them at.

Among the items brought back by the wanderers are spices, gems, metals, fruits, and strange pieces of jewelry.
