Description
"Pyandoneaic ties to the outside world are very limited. Those who leave the archipelago are called Amaraldane or Heralds: mostly pirates, sometimes adventurers, rarely merchants, and practically never diplomats. It is an ancient caste-profession of the Maormer, so old and prominent that it has become a culture in of itself. Once a Maormer consigns their fate to that of a Herald, their crimes, their beliefs, their past — it all becomes irrelevant before the great blue sea. Heralds are heavily romanticized in Maormeri culture and leaving one's life behind in a self-imposed exile is seen as a brave, honorable thing."
