Explorers License

Since the autumn of Year 15, the person of Ambrian heritage who wishes to venture into Davokar must obtain an Explorer’s License, formally known as “License for travels in and explorations of Davokar Forest”. The license can be bought on a monthly or annual basis, at the headquarters of the city watch in Yndaros or at the Queen’s Legation in Thistle Hold. The cost varies depending on the number of people it covers: the bigger the group, the higher the cost per individual. In other words, for a company of adventurers encountered by a Ranger patrol in the wilds, it is not enough to present individual licenses.
Adding to the basic price there are a number of costs related to the aim and composition of the expedition. Whether you aim to gather or Table 1: The Cost for an Explorer's Licence
harvest some resource or explore an area, there is no escape from paying the base price for those three categories, since the licensor presumes that you at least will gather firewood, harvest some berries and perform explorations in the most general sense of the word. The arbitrariness of the system angers most people, particularly when it comes to the supplementary costs for incompetence and intentions – the former related to the wildlife experience of the group, the latter based on an assessment of to what degree the expedition’s aim may be considered disturbing or provoking. But for anyone who wishes to travel the woods without risking hefty fines or the loss of fingers/ hands there is no alternative but to come up with the sum dictated by the authorities.
