* History on the Three Ships folk. The books, as far as I recall, define the group as being made up of any number of folk who had made Bingtown their home after Bingtown had first been settled and the Bingtown Council initially established. They appeared to me to have come from all other parts of the realm, as fisher folk, and simply chose to stay, abiding by Trader Council/Bingtown laws and ways. In this, they differed from the New Traders.

In AQ, Kettle speaks to Fitz of Cabal the White, a prophet and seer of Kimoalan times. She says of Cabal, "Through his guidance, a treaty was wrought that put an end to a hundred years of war. It enabled three folk to become one people."

Possibly there is no connection but I couldn't help but think of the Three Ships folk when I read it. Also, Cabal's actions are not unlike Amber's in that she also worked to create a unity between Old and New Traders, the Three Ships folk and the Tattooed.

Kettle continues, shedding light on the place of origin of Three Ships folk, if it is indeed they who became 'one from three folk', "Knowledge was shared. Many kinds of foods that once grew only in the southern valleys of Kimoala came into common usage."
