Cogs

The vast majority of the Markless belong to a group colloquially known as the Cogs. As their name suggests, they are largely the reason most things in Tasnal are able to function. They are the primary work force and are often recruited by citizens to aid in various projects. As a group they are incredibly diverse in nature, ranging from youth who are entrenched in studies to elders who have lived their entire lives as Markless.

While they are barred from any government positions, or anything requiring expertise, they may fulfill a great number of roles. Apprenticeship under Specialists is common and highly encouraged. Gaining experience in one’s field is considered one of the most important aspects of earning Citizenship, and it’s not rare to see prominent Specialists or even Guild Masters swamped with eager students. Many others work in an array of odd jobs and can serve as mechanics, farm hands, and even healers in their community; albeit unlicensed ones. Cogs are also permitted to set up small booths on Tumul and throughout the Markless districts in order to sell small items and services.
