Osen's Seep

The grasslands are not dry per se, but surface water is fairly scarce. The underground aquifer rises in places, usually where there is a basin of sand over a cracked rocky substrate. One such place is Osen’s Seep, which is named after the Northlander who dwells there. Seeps are sacred places of hospitality to the K’Haln horse nomads, and it is forbidden to kill within sight of one. Each seep has its own set of restrictions specific to it, and Osen’s Seep gained one that prohibits walking backward. For his part, Osen was captured along the Grand Portage, managed to escape, and fled to the seep. Despite his weakened condition, he fended off those who tried to take him and now lives here in a crude grass shelter. Some of the local K’Haln consider him a shaman of some sort and provide Osen with food from time to time. Meanwhile, Osen waits and bides his time, knowing he might be murdered if he leaves sight of the seep.
