Historical Storyteller
Four Thousand Club
I wish to tell a story of a traveler in the late middle ages. It is my hope this will give us a glimpse into the lives our ancestors lived. It is meant to broaden our knowledge, to open our hearts and fill us with a sense of wonder of the past. The problem is that I need your help to begin. I also need to prepare!
May God help us.
Patience, answer the questions. Nobody here answers them, as far as I know. I hope you can be the exception and not the norm.
1. What occupation is the traveler?
2. For what reason does he travel?
3. What is his destination?
The traveler can be a farmer, craftsman or even a runaway slave. He can be a warrior, a nobleman, a peddler or a sailor.
Perhaps he is on business and wishes to sell his goods. Maybe he wants something far more precious than the things of this world and so goes on a pilgrimage. Or he wants to simply scour the land as an adventurer. Perhaps he wants to go back home to his family after a long campaign. Maybe he's on a mission to deliver a message. Or he wants to run away from his liege and has nowhere else to go.
The medieval world is a mystery to me. I need help with the destination. He needs to begin somewhere too. We'll need a travel route by land and sea.
I will give myself 3-5 months time to get the initial preparations done.
May God help us.
