My days as a Merchant are filled with long hours in the Merchant Library, writing and reviewing economic reports, which can  burden heavier than gold itself. Outside of the Library, I train by hauling crates, balancing weights on my shoulders, and pacing long distances with the stubbornness of a mule like any gypsy and tradesman would. Yet, while my body endures the daily trials of coin and cargo, I feel a limit pressing down on me.

My movements are efficient, but not refined. My mind is sharp with numbers, yet often clouded with fatigue when conflict arises.I seek the Monks because I know there is more within me than mere endurance. I have built strength through commerce and persistence, but I have not yet unlocked the discipline to shape that strength into true mastery.

My breathing grows shallow after long travels around the kingdom, my thoughts scatter when danger comes, and I sense that my body and spirit are not yet aligned. Through the guidance of the Monks, I hope to find balance: to steady the storms within, to breathe with purpose, and to sharpen both mind and body until they move as one. My training has brought me to the threshold, but it is your wisdom that can open the door. Unlock my hidden potential, so that I may stand not only as a merchant of goods, but as a vessel of discipline, endurance, and clarity.
