Description and lore
A light two-wheeled cart follows a fitted draft harness, leaving a little room beside its driver.
The cart suits a delivery small enough for one animal and too bulky for a pack. Its balance is visible in the arrangement of people and cargo.
A driver checks the hitch as readily as the road. Repaired spokes and familiar harness fittings record the cart's long service.
