Traveler

The ancient symbol for protection while traveling is shrouded in mystery. Although its specifics are unknown, some elements of its design are similar to the rose compass. It is believed to be possibly associated with the Roma/Gypsy culture. The Roma people hailed from India and migrated to Europe and North Africa via the Iranian plateau around 1050 A.D.

Throughout history, the role of the Traveler has been played by many powerful tricksters and shapeshifters with god-like powers.

In Dungeons and Dragons’ Faith of Ebberon, the symbol of the Traveler is an eight-pointed configuration consisting of four crossed and rune-inscribed bones. The Traveler is believed to walk the world in various forms and is associated with the domains of Artifice, Celerity, Chaos, Charm, Creation, Liberation, Travel, and Trickery.
