O que está de pé aqui

THE LONGHOUSE — on the inner grove. House-sized, about 6 m. Timber, bamboo, stone. On the ground.
"A low timber longhouse under a pitched bamboo roof with smoke rising from the ridge"
A roof of bamboo atop the top: pitched low to shed rain and heavy gusts. A hearth of stone inside the centre: set with flat stones to hold the embers through the night. A doorway of timber facing the south: fitted with a heavy latch on the leeward side. A storage rack of timber along the north side, hung with dry provisions, cordage, and spare gear.
Of this land: timber, bamboo, stone.

THE WAY SHRINE — beside the low thicket. Small, about 4 m. Timber, reed, bronze. On the ground.
"A quiet timber enclosure with a carved post and a sheltered offering shelf"
An altar stone of timber inside the centre: worn smooth by salt air and rain. A lantern hook of bronze at the front: lit at dusk when travellers are abroad.
Of this land: timber. Of the region: reed. Carried here: bronze.

A história, como Fleur D. conta

Do lugar

• Narrow Run Hold was laid out by Fleur Delarue, who marked the inner grove first and set the longhouse to face out of the prevailing weather.

Do povo

• They keep a dry stack of fuel beside the longhouse and share the first meal at the hearth with any traveller who crosses the inner grove. (heard when a people lives here)
• Before winter sets in they check the lashings and stones of the way shrine and sing the names of the first four who came. (heard when a people lives here)
