Suggested Characteristics

Wanderers are often quiet, self-reliant, and slow to trust others. Many seek redemption, purpose, or simply a place where they finally belong. Their experiences have made them resilient, resourceful, and willing to do whatever is necessary to survive.

Contacts

During your travels, you met mercenaries, vagabonds, innkeepers, and fellow outcasts. Some may still remember you and offer information, shelter, or a helping hand when you need it.
