The Traveler is one of the Eternals. The Traveler is cleverness, improvisation, and adaptation. They are the funny trickster, the cunning magician, and the itinerant sage.

Tessera's one moon is called the Traveler and it has an erratic orbit (28-49 days).

The Vagabond is the shadow of the Traveler.

Notable Faces of the Traveler include Erevan Ilesere (elven trickster god), Lusifee (a Wabanaki spirit), Dugmaren Brightmantle, and Marthammor Duin (aka Muamman Duathal).

((Other touchstones: Gandalf, Ged (A Wizard of Earthsea), Merlin, Harry Dresden.))

A Traveler Song

Lyndi puts a hand on the wheel, just to get one moment longer before you pull out, and then she leans out the open window and locates the moon.  In a sing song voice that has a rhythm built in, she sings to the moon.  The first time through the words are in Passamaquoddy, the second time in English.

Traveler/Wanderer
She makes changes, she changes herself, she changes the direction things flow
She puts us in embarassing situations/plays dirty tricks, confuses us with words
Teaching us lessons we ought not know
Yet need to know
May the traveler/wanderer smile at you, smile at me
Then travel on

((Real-world inspirations for the Traveler include Coyote and Hermes/Mercury.))
