Many professional academics earn a living by teaching at one of the universities of the Old World, by hiring themselves out as tutors or by writing erudite treatises on a number of subjects. In some cases, Scholars can find a patron or sponsor to finance their studies and can pursue their scholarly interests to their heart's content. Scholars are interested in knowledge for its own sake and do not confine themselves to one subject, researching anything and everything as the mood takes them and as the opportunity arises. Although they are not adventurous by nature, many Scholars will go to great lengths to acquire new or unusual information or to recover lost knowledge, and it is not unknown for a scholar to live as an adventurer in order to journey to the sorts of inaccessible places to which other academics would dare not go.
