New Tradition: Travelers Options

[Wandering_D]

So been fooling with the idea of a new tradition, comments and suggestions are welcome. I’ve also got some more thoughts but I figured one page was plenty :P.

Travelers

Life is magic, and the more of it one experiences the greater one understands the mystic tapestry. Travelers are the bards and sages, the ronin and cowboy, they walk the endless road and would have it no other way. They draw their power from binding them selves to the great web of life around them. They do this through the art of story telling and the crafting of marks of power. Constantly seeking new material to fuel their link and understanding they can be found any where and everywhere.
Travelers believe in the interconnectedness of all things and that magic is a reflection of that rich tapestry. By experiencing as many different paths as possible they increase their connection to it brining enlightenment and greater magical power. Their magic can be a subtle thing, an enchantment hidden in the telling of a story or a truth spell interwoven with a bawdy joke. They take great pleasure in seeing the world while remaining unseen. Those who are more altruistically motivated often see them selves as the bearers of hope, bringing it to the lost and destitute. All travelers enjoy change and a bit of chaos, and many are practical jokers. Travelers rely on symbols for their greater works and while the symbols very from culture to culture they all center around flowing patterns. In general Travelers care little about personal ethics but the few taboos they have are taken very seriously. Actions that damage the tapestry are a good way for a mage to get drummed out if not worst. Blood magic is strictly forbidden and any mage caught sacrificing even a mouse can expect immediate and severe retribution.
Travelers are descended from the ancient wanderers and story tellers. They have no language of their own but older travelers have been known to jump between half a dozen different languages within a single conversation. For the most part they frown on keeping written records feeling that writing lacks a certain flow and charisma. Do to their tendency to poke their noise where its not welcome Travelers tend to have a higher mortality rate then other traditions and so the few Travelers who do manage to make it to old age are treated with a healthy dose of fear and respect. Travelers almost never own any kind of vehicle preferring to interact with the masses through mass transit or good o fashion walking. While they love the gadgets technology gives them they rarely hold onto them long, finding material possessions to be more trouble then their worth. Most have a love hate relationship with the matrix finding the quick access to new ideas ideal but disliking its lifeless nature.
