The Empire covers vast areas of the continent of Anyaral, and many clans rely heavily on the traders that constantly travel the vast expanses with their heavily laden pack beasts. The wealthy traders dress in the finest of materials, and expect to receive the protection from small armies of militia or knights to protect them on their journeys.

Many different beasts are used to carry goods, but the Baruk is commonly seen across most of the Empire, its hardy demeanour and constant, plodding gait is perfectly suited to the purpose.

The arrival of a trade caravan within the remote villages will prompt a great celebration as they give access to precious news and valuable items from distant lands.
