Druas
The vast majority of Ariane encountered outside of the Maze-City of Altan will be Druas or “Seekers”. Druas leave Altan to experience the world beyond the city and to bring their experiences back to the rest of the Ariane. Every seven years, a Druas will return to Altan to add the experiences recorded within his or her personal tamar to those stored in the great obelisk by past generations of Ariane, a procedure which takes seven days to complete. Once the process is complete, a Druas is free to again go out into the world, or to remain in Altan for as long as he or she desires.
Aside from gathering experiences, Druas characters generally have no set goals. They consider the acquisition of wealth to be a pointless exercise; Ariane forage for the food they need, make their own garments and implements and prefer to sleep seated in a meditative position, in natural surroundings. Though many Druas prefer to travel alone, it is not uncommon for these individuals to form close friendships with other creatures or beings or even to accompany a group of trusted companions on adventure.
Each time this Path is taken ages the character 7 years.
