Salvager
The vast majority of Talislantans walk by piles of trash and junk without a second thought, but salvagers are drawn to those piles of refuse and the potential that they represent. Slightly-worn clothing, mostly working gadgets, old jewelry, glass and clay storage containers, even weapons and building materials are thrown away; salvagers make sure that none of this goes to waste. Traveling about the countryside might lead to an abandoned wagon, a deserted mine, or any number of these treasure troves. Salvagers can dismantle abandoned vehicles and loot deserted buildings in a short period of time, taking all that they can haul back to town to sell.
Salvagers are experts at determining the value of goods, and can be fierce trading partners. Though given a rather lowly reputation for digging through others’ refuse, salvagers can make a decent living finding and selling their used goods. When dealing with a salvager, most individuals are surprised to see what others throw away – but for a salvager, it is a fact of life.
