{{ :wiki:baumeni_main_250.jpg?nolink|}}**Adventurers**\\
A baumeni adventurer is a relatively rare sight, but they are a common enough sight in cities and on highways. Young baumeni often travel the world as an unofficial rite of passage into adult-hood, that they might be well rounded and wise in their guardianship of the world's creatures.
