GAZETTEER · THE EMBERWASTE
Ashfall Town
A dozen ash-brick buildings at the end of the old Imperium road, permanently hazed by the Emberthrone — the only inhabited settlement in the waste.
Stone and ash-brick hold the heat and make the nights survivable. The Pyre Wardens garrison one hall, Vurath the Smith forges in another, and Ember Factor Orin keeps his buying-table in the one drinking-room. Everyone else passes through on the way to something worse.

references
- ←The Gaunt Ledger — The Gaunt Ledger keeps a buying-table in Ashfall through Ember Factor Orin's books — Emberwaste glass, ash-salt and scavenged Imperium bronze flow back down to the Driftmarket to be fenced. The Ledger's reach runs from the coast to the waste.
- ←The Driftmarket — The longest honest haul in the world: the ash road from Ashfall down to the Driftmarket carries glass and bronze one way and water, rope and iron the other. Caravans that make it are rich; most of the waycamps between are graves.
- →The Bonesung Camp — Ashfall trades cautiously with the Bonesung of the Ashen Wastes — water and ash-glass for hide, ash-salt and safe-passage knowledge across the dunes. The settled forge-town and the moving camp need each other and trust each other barely.
- ←The Wrights' Heirs — The Resonants send quiet agents to Ashfall to buy Imperium bronze and any salvaged Old Work engine the scavengers pull from the waste — the Emberwaste is a graveyard of the old empire's craft, and they want every piece before the Ledger fences it.
- ←The Mourners of the Hush — Mourners walk even into the Emberwaste — the Emberthrone is the loudest unhealed wound outside the Vale, and they would sing its endless burning back to silence. Where there is an echo that will not die, the Mourners come.
- ←The Warden's Journal — The journal is written from and about life in Ashfall Town's garrison.
