Base Human Adventurers as a role in the hidden-road world
These base human forms matter because they define the simplest readable body language in the whole setting: unarmed vulnerability, ready steel, and the difference between a pilgrim who survives and a fighter who can push forward.
Together, they show that Via Occulta is not only about monsters and relic hunters. It is also about ordinary bodies carrying extraordinary burdens through cursed roads.
