Oldcairn
Greatest treaty-ground, among the oldest unreadable cairns; route moots sit there in the calm months, the nearest thing to a centre.
A broad treaty-ground ledge on a high shelf among the oldest cairns of the chains, whose names no living kindred can read. Most of the year it holds a few wardens and elders; in the calm months kindreds gather in their thousands, recite their dead, take parties on and hand them over, and settle their blood-debts before the route moot, or, when the moot will not settle them, at the edge of the ledge with knives. Every kindred that camps there knows which of the unreadable cairns its neighbours claim.
