== Wanderfolk ==

'''Wanderfolk''' are Tobon whose households travel.

The wagon is the image most outsiders associate with them, and not without reason. A well-kept Wanderfolk wagon is transportation, shelter, workshop, storehouse, inheritance, and home.

Some are brightly painted or elaborately carved. Others are plain and practical. Families modify them constantly. Compartments appear in improbable places. Folding tables become beds. Tools hang wherever a hand can find them in darkness. Children learn which boards creak and which cupboard contains the food they have been specifically instructed not to touch.

A single family may travel alone, but several households commonly join together for portions of a journey. Larger companies form and dissolve according to destination, trade, kinship, safety, season, and inclination.

Wanderfolk may work as traders, drovers, tinkers, healers, performers, craftspeople, messengers, guides, animal handlers, cooks, repairers, peddlers, and seasonal laborers. Many households combine several occupations.

They carry more than goods.

A Wanderfolk company arriving in a remote community brings news from other roads: marriages, deaths, wars, prices, scandals, harvests, opportunities, dangerous crossings, new tolls, vanished bridges, generous inns, dishonest merchants, and the whereabouts of distant relatives.

In places where written messages travel slowly, a familiar Wanderfolk family may be a community's most dependable connection to the wider world.
