You think that joining a caravan company might be an excellent choice. They handle the transport of goods and merchandise.

You go to the organization's headquarters, a large building with stables housing horses and other mounts, while inside bustles with merchants, travelers joining caravans for safety, mercenaries offering protection services, and more.
