The Long War 02 - The Dark Blood - Plot & Excerpts
Around the edges of the massive tree stood several hundred Fell Walkers, looking up at the assembled Vithar shamans and exchanging puzzled glances at the presence of so many men. Like all Dokkalfar settlements, the Fell Walk was built below the forest, using the bases of great trees as the foundations for their homes while the leaf litter above disguised the presence of the forest-dwellers. The Walk was built in a natural depression in the ground. The ceiling, built by old craft from a tapestry of knotted brambles and wooden branches, was high above the actual forest floor. Nanon was of the Heart and found the austerity and lack of humour of the Fell Walkers strange. Their settlement was a sombre place, where the song of the Dokkalfar was mournful and the people miserable. He accepted that they had ample reason to feel they had been given a hard lot in life, but really they needed to cheer up. They behaved like an oppressed population, feeling sorry for themselves and refusing to accept that men had a place in their woods.
