Reincarnation is real. Every soul reincarnates to vastly different lives. Some male. Some female. Some rich. Some poor. Some live long. Some live tragically short. And every soul in time works every trade and profession under the Sun.

Well, every soul but Ea-nāṣir. Ea-nāṣir is special. He's just a shitty metal merchant in life after life after life. Somehow he's found the exact perfect karmic balance that he just keeps re-rolling the same character class and background one life after the next. This one guy's been cheating people on copper, bronze, iron and steel shipments for three thousand years.
