The Life of a Merchant

Hello my name is Edward Whinston and I live in Oxford and am a lowly middle class merchant. I travel the nation in search of new treasures that I can buy and resell to higher paying customers. I am constantly on the move making it difficult to establish friendships with anyone other then my horse. Sometimes I run into the occasional rip off artist or thief, luckily I was trained in combat by a knight as a young lad because my father would care to his cattle. My family may have been poor in finances but we were rich and fat in love and understanding. However my perspective on this world around me is very cynical. I have seen the greed in men from all over the country and I know how corrupted our society is. I personally don’t value materialistic object but the honor and passion in one’s words. The respect given to one another is essential to sustain order and balance. I unfortunately can’t do much to change this world other than the little bits of philosophy I leave with my customers.
