Her influence apparently reaches less respectable markets as well, since smugglers and peddlers are hardly strangers to coin. - Waukeen seems to value initiative and the willingness to act when opportunity presents itself. A fortune sitting untouched means considerably less than one being used to create another opportunity. - I have never had much personal connection to Waukeen myself, but it is difficult to travel through any sizable town or city without eventually encountering somebody whose livelihood falls beneath her influence.
