Riverman
Much of life in the Old World resolves around its rivers. They connect the largest
commercial centers, provide energy for industry, and offer sustenance for the inhabitants
of towns and villages. Unsurprisingly then, many make a living on the rivers
in somr form or another.
Rivermen is the catch all term for those who make their living on the waters, river
pilots, fishermen, barge crews, even smugglers and river pirates are just a few, and
while the many occupations can differ greatly, they all share a great respect for both
the gifts and dangers afforded by the rivers of the Old World.
