The Bonesung Camp
A shifting Asheni camp out on the open ash, hide-tents and ancestor-poles.
Hide-tents that move with the herds, ringed by carved ancestor-poles. Settled folk are tolerated as far as the firelight reaches and no further.

A thread that ties the two ash regions in a single reckoning.
