Water Seller of the Silk Road Desert

✦ Your Soul Summary ✦

You maintained a series of water caches across a particularly brutal stretch of desert on the eastern silk road — waxed clay jars buried at marked intervals, refilled during the winter months when the snowmelt was available. Travelers paid you nothing directly; they paid the caravanserai owner at either end, who paid you a share. You saved perhaps two hundred lives in a decade and are mentioned in none of the records. When you retired you were modestly comfortable and entirely unimportant in the historical record, which seemed to you about right.
