The Great Caravan

Twice a year, merchants and townspeople from Soren's Fist band together for the long and dangerous journey south, visiting the towns and cities of Sorn to trade goods and news. The Caravan forms over the course of a week before the departure date and is comprised not only of merchants, but of ordinary people who cannot afford to hire guards to travel. The Caravan stops first at Karthfield before making its way to all the other cities and major towns in the country, usually returning within two months.

The most famous Caravan happening approximately 12 years previously, after the Yuan-Ti attacks that killed the Queen's family. As the city was rebuilding, the Caravan was sent out with every single wagon empty in order to bring back the necessary goods and materials. Upon it's return, the Caravan contained not only merchandise, but 150 men and women who had volunteered to defend the city in place of those that had fallen.
