The Phynasterian Perambulators was founded in 2E 469 by the noted scholar of the arcane arts and avid rambler, Pengoloð of Alinor. An adherent of the Way of Phynaster, he wished to share his passion for the most fundamental of the hero-god's teachings: the extension of one's lifespan by virtue of shortening one's walking stride.*
​
He believed that this was not merely the result of contracting one's physical step, but from the simple fact that this mode of perambulation was conducive to a meditational state of being, similar to the kinhin of the Taoist and Zen monks of old. But best to leave the metaphysics to the Psijics...
​
Suffice to say that whether it is due to exercise, mindfulness or simply slowing down their lifestyles, followers of Phynaster are generally an enduring group; that is, apart from the ones who perish during the dangerous pilgrimages taken as tests of faith.
The Phynasterian Perambulators proudly celebrated its centenary in 2E 569.
* As testimony to Phynaster's promise of longevity, Pengoloð is now a spry 314 years old and is still the titular head of the Phynasterian Perambulators. He is often to be found strolling the streets of the ancient capital of Alinor, admiring the architecture and the passers-by.
