You grew up in the city of Yallasch, and so are personally trained in the making and repair of ropes and cables of all sizes, and/or of chains of all sizes, or of (canvas) sails, or shipbuilding (the construction, repair, sealing and resealing of hulls, and the making, seating, and repair of masts). Regardless of what you’ve been trained in, you are skilled in the
erection of scaffolding, in the placement, construction, repair, and use of pulleys and guidelines—and so can readily load or unload cargoes to and from ship- holds or up and down great heights (castle walls or cliffs). You can roughly estimate breaking strains, load limits, weights, stresses, and the “sway” effects of winds or wind gusts of a given force.

Suggested Characteristics
