ABOUT

Merchant captains lead trade caravans that deliver vital supplies and luxuries to communities far and wide. While often dismissed as glib-tongued shysters, merchant captains come from many walks of life and are just as likely to be scrupulously honest merchants as they are to be silver-tongued devils. When merchant captains retire from active travel, some they continue to earn a living by financing or providing protection for caravans led by other merchants. All merchant captains, whether active or sedentary, have proficiency with land vehicles and with two musical instruments.
