A peddler is, you see, quite similar to a traveling merchant, but vastly different as well.

Merchants tend to drive forth on carts and carriages, their goods strapped down to their wagon flats. Meanwhile, the aching feet carries the peddler's goods forth, which are almost always a burden to the back, or shoulder.

Another difference also comes with the nature of their goods, as merchants of all types, typically, deal in specified quantities of goods and services, and are more often than not on a schedule. One such as the humble peddler arrives when and where he wishes, and is expected to have a wide variety of petty goods with him.

Moreover, while merchants, be they permanent or traveling, are largely diverse in their product, so is their living standards, some may go to bed hungry, and others may dine on soft dumplings and goose; but this is always the constant in a peddler, that he may be poor and lay on the cold ground when nightfall comes.

All such defining factors are to be applied to him as well.

Updated roughly every Friday or Saturday. Due to time restraints and other external forces, this story will no longer be sticking to a rigid schedule. I will still try my best to update as often as possible!

Character Tags will be added as needed.
