Tent

History

Nearly every city and town has a tent maker and a shop. This item is a pretty vital piece of equipment when one is traveling. Though usually if one can travel, one has the finacial ability to buy a tent.

Significance

Tents are great for survival out on the road and don't have access to an inn or one's own home. They are shelter from the heat during the high heat of midday, if one can't find shelter in a copse of trees or has other suitable arrangements (such as a tarp covered wagon). At night, it gives shelter against the cooler air and against the elements such as rain and snow. If it's the winter months, extra furs are needed to supplement the tent. The creation of tents allowed for freer travel around the Kingdom of Aon. While travel is more restricted since the Civil War, tents are still necessary for traveling between cities and towns within the borders of each Kingdom. Though, since the Kingdom of Manzi is filled with Wraiths, they have no need for tents.
