The Long Run

A vast natural corridor through the heart of the Deyune Steps, worn into the grasslands by millennia of animal migration. It stretches nearly two hundred miles from Thorne Reach in the north to Step Gate Station in the south. During peak season, the thunder of hooves along the Long Run can be heard from Tovin Encampment. 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.
