Adventurer

Adventurer (冒険者 boukensha) is the generic term used to describe the players of the MMORPG Elder Tale, although sometimes NPCs also refer to players as travelers (旅人).

Adventurer is also a possible subclass for People of the Land. Attained via contract, the subclass gives People of the Land the same abilities as an Adventurer.
