"Pilgrims of Pain... it was widely popular in ancient times."
Back then, the Old World, not yet sealed off, saw huge rates of birth daily, and not every Patient could secure the qualification to survive normally,
Most people suffering from lowly illnesses or even congenitally disabled folks simply had no right to live on in the Old World, they might even be taken away as slaves, livestock, or even food while simply walking.
Therefore,
these hopeless Patients would make some special choices, becoming a Pilgrim of Pain was one way to change their lives.
The Old World also had explicit rules, as long as one set foot on the "Pilgrim's Way", they would enjoy the protection of the Monastery, and any dare to kill on this road would be watched by the monks.
Similarly, those without the thought of pilgrimage, who merely came here for refuge and disturbed other pilgrims, would also be punished.
