Orun Field Camp

The northernmost settlement on the Steps, perched where grassland gives way to scrub and wind-scoured rock. Orun Field Camp watches the horizon toward the Ashen Spine and trades dried herbs and leather with the mountain-edge villages. Nights here are colder than anywhere else in the Deyune. 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.
