About this listen

In this episode, we explore what might be the most misunderstood resident of the social ladder.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Gravitas over Status: How the word "vagabond" shifts a character from a "problem to be solved" to a weathered observer whose lack of a destination is a deliberate identity.

  • The Gleeman Model: Using the example of characters like Thom Merrilin (from The Wheel of Time) to show how a vagabond can have a vocation that keeps them mobile, useful, and perpetually untrusted.

In your current draft, is your wanderer just someone looking for a home, or do they carry the perspective of someone who has realized that belonging to a place means closing your eyes to the rest of the world?
