Nomad

The Oldest of Ostrium

Hearkening back to the days before the First King took power, the Nomads are the oldest singular group within the nation still operating as a unit. Despite this unity, there are three factions among their number that need to be taken into account when speaking of the Nomads.

The Nomadic Merchant buys and sells goods to the rest of Ostrium, traveling with their wares, or sometimes setting down roots and relying on other Nomads to bring the wares to them for a cut of the profit.

The Nomadic Bard trades information through the nation while entertaining the masses with poem and song.

The Nomadic Hunter does the work of procuring various types of wares, and also assist in keeping the nation safe from dangerous creatures.

Despite their importance to the continued trade routes of Ostrium, many citizens view them as little more than antiquated opportunists taking work away from others who could be doing it instead. However, they are still a recognized ethnicity of Ostrium, and so are still given the right to send a Representative into the Contest for the Throne.

Airships Aplenty

Of all of Ostrium, the Nomads have the highest number of Airships available to them, a necessity in order to not only travel quickly but get up to Chrysalis. This is one of the major reasons why they still dominate the trade routes, despite the general opinion the common citizen has of them: no one else can make deliveries at the same pace as them.

Fashion of Choice

The standard choice of clothing for Nomads put comfort first. All genders can be seen wearing trousers, and often wear multiple layers in order to keep warm in the upper climates of the airships or other locales they call home.
