Long Run Watch

A lonely watchtower standing at the midpoint of the Long Run — the great migration corridor that bisects the Steps. Staffed by rotating volunteers from Tovin Encampment, its primary duty is tracking herd movements and signaling weather changes to camps downwind. 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.
