“The road remembers every deal.”
The Caravaneers are Athkatla’s movers of goods and guardians of routes—
a network of traders, guides, and scouts who connect the City of Coin to every corner of Amn and beyond.
Unlike the other factions, they have no single hall or headquarters; their home is the road itself.
They oversee all regulated overland trade to and from the city, controlling oases, checkpoints, and desert passes.
Every shipment and pilgrim that enters Athkatla does so through their records. Their strength lies in trust—agreements sealed by custom rather than law, upheld by reputation and memory.
Caravaneers operate in kinships rather than hierarchy, bound by blood, debt, and sand.
Elders and caravan-masters lead by consensus at moots held on major routes.
The Desert Assembly, an informal council of veteran families, maintains broader coordination.
Failure to protect cargo or honor a contract brings exile from the roads—a punishment worse than death to their kind.
Independent and pragmatic, the Caravaneers remain loyal not to city or creed, but to the promise of the open horizon.
