Chapter 42
The Ash Covenant
Asheni zealots who hold that the broken god's fire must be fed, never sealed — they raid the wastes for fuel, ore, and captives to throw on the pyres.
Ash-grey and ember-eyed like all their blood, but marked with burn-scars taken willingly. A Covenant war-party travels light and fast behind a fire-adept or two; their chieftains wear the soot of a hundred torched holdings as a badge. They are the dark mirror of the Asheni who keep the old fire as memory, not hunger.
