Vistani

The Vistani (singular: Vistana) are wanderers, traveling about in horse-drawn, barrel-topped wagons, which they build themselves. Compared to other inhabitants of the Dibril Valley, they are flamboyant, dressing in bright clothes and laughing often. The native language of the Vistani is Glav.
Vistani are silversmiths, coppersmiths, haberdashers, cooks, weavers, musicians, entertainers, storytellers, toolmakers, and horse traders. They also earn money by telling fortunes and selling information. They spend whatever they earn to support a lavish lifestyle, display their wealth openly as a sign of prosperity, and share their good fortune with family and friends.
Each family or clan of Vistani is its own little gerontocracy, with the oldest member ruling the roost. This elder carries the bulk of the responsibility for enforcing traditions, settling disputes, setting the course for the group’s travels, and preserving the Vistani way of life. Vistani elders make all the important decisions, but whether by choice or because of their age, tend to speak in cryptic, flowing riddles.
Vistani families and clans are closely knit. They resolve disagreements through contests that end with reconciliatory singing, dancing, and storytelling. The Vistani are quick to act when their lives or traditions are threatened and are merciless when they believe they must be.

Developments

While at the Tser Pool Encampment, the party learns that during one of Ravna Batrova's military campaigns, a group of Vistani rescued her after she was wounded in battle. These Vistani not only nursed Ravna back to health but also delivered her safely home. As a reward for their generosity, when Ravna conquered the Dibril Valley, she declared that all Vistani had the right to come and go from her land as they please, and this privilege extends to the present day. Thus, Vistani can travel freely through the fog that surrounds the valley, without fear of harm or entrapment.
