Mercantile heritage characters were raised with core values balanced on turning a profit and seeking out the next big venture. They might keep and manage a brick-and-mortar business within a kingdom’s confines, serving the royal family or the public as bookkeepers, merchants, or bankers. Or perhaps they best honor their heritage by traveling from kingdom to kingdom to establish trade routes, act as economic ambassadors, and build their own wealth.
