Being part of a wanderborne community means you’ve lived as a nomad, forgoing a permanent home and experiencing a wide variety of cultures.

Unlike many communities that are defined by their locale, wanderborne are defined by their traveling lifestyle. Because of their frequent migration, wanderborne put less value on the accumulation of material possessions in favor of acquiring information, skills, and connections. While some wanderborne are allied by a common ethos, such as a religion or a set of political or economic values, others come together after shared tragedy, such as the loss of their home or land. No matter the reason, the dangers posed by life on the road and the choice to continue down that road together mean that wanderborne are known for their unwavering loyalty.

Wanderborne are often inscrutable, magnanimous, mirthful, reliable, savvy, and unorthodox.

Members of this Wanderborne community live in tents that can float in the air with the help of large balloons made of specially treated, weather-resistant hides. These Wanderborne carry few belongings with them but can quickly travel a distance that would normally take a day or more by foot. When they land, the hot air balloon can be used to protect their tents from hard weather. If they need to, this community can make a quick getaway from dangerous situations. Wanderborne communities each have different ways to carry their belongings, from simple backpacks to entire caravans pulled by horses. Kite skimmers are specialized mobile homes from Wanderborne groups who live in the desert, where the ground can be too loose to walk on for long distances. The kites and sails can be lowered when the community isn’t traveling. They are used as shade structures during the heat of the day.
