The Grand Wayfarer’s Caravan is the first of it’s kind available to non-Wayfarers. It might be the last. Imagine rolling down the tracks, seeing the countryside, trading in new cities- and knowing that you can protect yourself and your wares from highwaymen! This caravan features a magnificent wheelhouse so that you can travel in comfort. The wheelhouse has everything you might need, even something called a “globe” to help you find your way. The last occupants left their instruments, so you’ll never be bored. There is also a glowing stone we’ve been told is an old Wayfarer family heirloom. In addition to the wheelhouse a baggage wagon with tons of storage allows you to become a prosperous trader. And you’ll be thankful for the two guard wagons pulled by 2 tame giant spiders and 2 tame dire wolves. All of this is available exclusively for PC’s who donate at the tier 3 fundraiser level before launch of Helike.
