Wayfinder

A Human ethnicity known for its nomadic lifestyle, Wayfinders traverse much of the Old World without any real homeland of their own. Instead, they bring goods, services, and news from distant lands with them as they go, stopping briefly or wintering when they must before moving on once more. Wayfinders are looked at askance in most communities; they have an only half-earned reputation for misdeeds. More often than not, they're blamed for the actions of locals, causing tension between them and their hosts. However, sometimes they really are the ones at fault. They are known to be a proud people and don't take kindly to insults and insinuations.
Wayfinders tend to have a dusky appearance, with dark hair but more varied eye color. Their hair is often straight, but can be wavy. They tend towards a lean build naturally, but can be quite robust if they're living well; as a people they tend to prefer indulgence in good times rather than strict austerity. Though never so much that it might jeopardize their lives in hardship. Wayfinders are a loyal folk who remember those that treat them well and those who treat them poorly, and respond in kind. They tend to be cautious in their dealings with those outside of their communities, but as said before, they can be quite hot-blooded. Wayfinders tend to be short-tempered and prone to resolving their issues with challenges, duels, or more subtle violence.
The exact origins of this ethnicity are unknown. Their records are mostly through oral tradition, some of which has been lost through the ages due to violence from both other Men and Monsters. What is known is that the wagon caravans of this group have long been recognized throughout the eastern parts of the world.
