First Camp Remains

According to Deyune oral tradition, this is where the first people of the Steps made their camp after the Fray. Nothing remains but a shallow depression, a ring of fire-blackened stones, and a persistent warmth in the soil that defies explanation. Pilgrimages from Karak Camp still mark the site each year. On the Deyune Steppe, this site is one of the points where the Long Wind, the clan-roads, and the old Karak geometries meet. Time Instability runs heavy here — distances and seasons rarely agree between settlements. The Veykar's old reach passed through or near sites like this; some bear the Wheel's scars in the soil, others have been letting the grass grow back over them for generations.
