Cambion have a special place in Freeborn society, a tradition that dates back to the murky prehistory of the Freeborn. According to legend a particularly clever cambion (whose origin is usually tied to the teller in some way) convinced the founders to sign a cleverly worded trade agreement. This binding oath is allegedly what has kept the Freeborn together as a people. This story has created a superstition that the blood of a cambion (usually a thumb print) upon a document of trade will bring good fortune to the signatories. As a result Freeborn cambion often study to become scriveners.

The calm nature of the merrow is at odds with the fiery Freeborn way of life. Merrow rarely find themselves comfortable in Freeborn society and there are few to be found. Many Freeborn parents of a merrow child will take that child to a spire in Urizen, where the child will find a better life. There is no shame in this, the Freeborn recognize that a merrow will struggle to find a life in the tribes and encourage the parents to make a decision that is seen as being in the best interests of the child.
