Wayfaring is the survivalist's way, representing subsistence and mastery over one's environment. Encompassing a broad spectrum of defensive and protective skills, practitioners of Wayfaring learn to use their environment and master their own athleticism to fight in the face of any threat, whether beast or nature. The master Wayfarer can adapt in a short time to even the most unfamiliar environment, for there is none they cannot make their home.

Mastering an environment is not a quick process, and the decision to specialize may not be taken lightly. You may only specialize in one environment at a time, and you may only change it once per season.
Each Mastery type grants you access to six different abilities, which you will learn as part of Wayfaring:

By default, you will always know the location of your own stashes. However, a Wayfarer is trained to discover these stashes and can search out another's stash in the room for their own use.
