Out and About is a term used to describe nomad clans of humans on Pern.
Background and History[]
The Pern Charter included a stipulation that nomad groups should be accepted, including the Irish Traveling Group, Groups that didn’t take to any of the programs that the Federated Sentient Planets had and Groups that were not welcome on Earth.
The nomads were organized in clans; and, because of their preferred lifestyle, they were at the top of the list of people who were to receive the first horses bred on Pern. For the first eight years after landing on Pern, they lived a traveling life with their horse drawn wagons and carts.
After the start of Threadfall, the clans settled in cave systems in the Southern Continent until they, too, moved to the Northern Continent.
Many continued making the rounds and transporting goods in their animal drawn wagons and carts, as did Jayge Lilcamp for the Master Herder.
