  • Wardens of the Outer Reach
rdfs:comment
  • The Wardens of the Outer Reach were a Tiste military organization that patrolled the plain of Glimmer Fate and the shore of the caustic Vitr sea on the northern fringes of Kurald Galain. They were an organization of volunteers, largely social misfits, who found friendship and camaraderie in a difficult environment. Every member carried the title of "Warden" in addition to their military rank. They wore silks and little else to survive the heat of the plain and their horses had their legs bound with armour made of thick wooden leaves to protect against the knifelike grass. The deadliness of their environment led to an ethos of caution and harsh practicality.

abstract
  • The Wardens of the Outer Reach were a Tiste military organization that patrolled the plain of Glimmer Fate and the shore of the caustic Vitr sea on the northern fringes of Kurald Galain. They were an organization of volunteers, largely social misfits, who found friendship and camaraderie in a difficult environment. Every member carried the title of "Warden" in addition to their military rank. They wore silks and little else to survive the heat of the plain and their horses had their legs bound with armour made of thick wooden leaves to protect against the knifelike grass. The deadliness of their environment led to an ethos of caution and harsh practicality. The Wardens were led by Commander Calat Hustain, eldest son of the noble Hust family. Their main outpost on the Glimmer Fate was built of 'logs' of bound grass patched with sun-fired black clay. The fields of black grass had been cut away around the fort creating a defensive killing field.
