You have been living a life out in the real world. You've learned how to read your surroundings, map the constellations, trace the patterns of the sun and the moon, and read the winds in order to navigate yourself from place to place. Perhaps you worked as a navigator aboard a ship, sailing around the world guided by your ever watchful eye. Or maybe you sold your services in cities and towns to travelling fold, helping their caravans roam across the great wilderness in search of fortune. Perhaps even your skills were refined further, and you began to trace your trails and sights in tomes and scrolls, leading onto a prosperous venture as a mapmaker. To you, a life on the road is a life well spent, as it means you get to see and experience so much that the world and the people that inhabit it have to offer.

Feature: Stargazing
You have a special starmap that you have detailed over many years. By studying this document, you can not only gauge what the time of the year it is, but when travelling at night you are also able to discern your direction of travel, even without the use of a compass.
Suggested Characteristics
The life of a wayfinder is to seek out the hidden mysterious of the world, and to help others find their own paths through the world. Whether that be working on one's own terms or another's is irrelevant, since all you care for is to see as much as you can. Therefore, wayfinders usually regard discovery as their greatest pursuit in life, however others may prefer the delights of documenting or the monetary gains therein.
