Junker

Junker heritage characters have been raised among the wasteland and desert-dwelling junkers. These tightly knit, semi-nomadic communities are recognizable by their small caravans of camel-drawn, covered wagons.

The wagons stop near settlements for prolonged periods, usually a season, but up to a year if business is profitable. The first junker communities were insular and secretive. The trollkin didn’t trust other humanoids to respect them and their property. For their part, non-trollkin communities feared their large bearing. Generations of peaceful contact between the junkers and other communities, and the adoption of many non-trollkin members into the junker community, has softened relations.

Junker heritage characters tend to be creative, outspoken, and loud. They like to celebrate their discoveries by carousing, and they can often be convinced to perform minor repairs around a homestead or settlement in exchange for food, drink, and dance.
