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.
