Hathem's green waggon {English}

There is business for everyone here, no one need's to feel left out!
— Hathem Volgram, travelling merchant
Few people bring their wares to all the reaches of Telamirein due to tariffs, tax gates and the distances to cover overland. One man that did so however was Hathem Volgram who for 40 years of his life travelled from Orfordhwelm in the east and Kingdom of Ravero in the west, to the low mountains in the north and even all the way to Glarn in Marlun. Hathem had his famous green waggon, a modified large waggon that he used as his home and his store when travelling. This became so famous that many children all over the human nations have heard the story about Hathem Green's toys.  

History

Hathem Volgram was a young man when he started his journies around Telamirein as a travelling merchant. With him, he had a waggon that he had painted green for it to "melt into the environment of the forests" as he supposedly said when asked. This first waggon was smaller in size but eventually, Hathem built around it, making it larger and wider to have more trade goods and living spaces. He could not make it taller eventually due to it having a risk of toppling over, instead, he put up hangings around it, creating even a cut-out window so he could stay inside when trading. After fifteen years of travelling, he married his wife Agda, who became his support over the years of travelling and also made her own modifications, among them a small door to the front of the waggon. Eventually, they had to move living space to another smaller cart they used as a follow-cart for the beds to themselves and their children. In 2344 when in the town of Glarn they made a final modification, a in-waggon stove with a small chimney. This made the waggon much heavier but created a successful business for the last five years for Hathem, until he retired three years before his death in Orfordwhelm. His son took over but lacked the charisma of his father and made a modest life with the waggon.

Propulsion

As many waggons, this one was dragged by horses, Frim, Usni, Carv and Rimi. These four horses became as famous as the waggon itself due to their friendliness with people and other animals.

Weapons & Armament

Hathem had his spear and his crossbow when travelling, his eventual wife had a sword and spear while his children prefered spears. Since the waggon had no other defensive measures, there was nothing armed on to the waggon.
