Eforie are wholly nomadic people; traveling around the civilized world in wagon caravans laden with trade goods, trading with everyone they meet. They form very close extended families which are lead by a single member. Eforie are easily recognized by their flashy dress and excessive, and in most peoples eyes, gaudy jewelry. Eforie are not xenophobic but have little respect for anyone not in their family, extending to even other Eforie. Non-Eforie are referred to as Gaja, and the word carries a negative connotation bordering on a direct insult to anyone labeled as such. Eforie survive economically solely by trade; satisfying all their needs through trade. The arrival of these vagabonds is always met with mixed feelings. Some are glad for the goods and coin that Eforie bring with them. Others lock up their valuables and close their doors in fear of them disappearing mysteriously when Eforie are in town – whether founded in truth or not. Still others, who have made friends with members of the family, are excited to hear what stories of the outside world the Eforie caravan brings this time. Not all Eforie families are so dismissive of outsiders and have made themselves welcome in various lands and towns. However, all Eforie share the not unfounded derogatory stereotype of thieves, criminals and miscreants. Whether due to a worn out welcome or to general wanderlust, Eforie do not stay in one place for too long. Nobles and indeed the whole feudal political structure is an anathema to Eforie who refuse to pay nobles of any land any heed or respect. This has made Eforie unwelcome in many places, but few nobles bring the issue to violence fearing the renowned Eforie curse. It is not known precisely where this ability to lay a curse on anyone who kills a Eforie, but it is accepted that this ability is a powerful innate ability in all who are Eforie, and none are immune from its effects. This has made Eforie feared by many, and affords the caravan another layer of protection from greedy eyes who covet their goods
