Outsiders

'Outsider' (or Outcast) is a term that describes anyone who arrived via an Anchorpost, as opposed to being born in the Mantle. They are a source of potential new knowledge, but most are not as lucky, having been rather simple people in their previous worlds. Their choices are limited, with no friends or benefactors to introduce them to the power structures of the Basin. Most end up farmers for Sterling or sign up with the Marauders, with a select few winning apprenticeships with their marketable skills.
