Chapter	Text
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	“Did you spin well today, Honored Deskie?”
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	News of home. How she’d gotten here—if others from Earth had come. Inkar nodded slowly. Deskie patted her on the arm.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	Sixth? Inkar stared. But then—this was Deskie. The [Magic Spinner]. The one who had made Inkar—
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	Oh yes, one more thing. The young woman turned and her dyed, exquisitely ornate clothing, a replica of traditional patterns from her home, glittered in the sunlight as Eska called out to her. Inkar rode, Deskie’s clothing light on her skin.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	Old Deskie, Eska, the [Shaman], and even Orelighn all nearly laughed themselves to sickness as they saw Inkar fleeing the small mob asking if she wanted to dance. She left the disappointed younger Gnolls behind and hurried over to the fire where they were gathered for sanctuary.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	The others were nodding, but Deskie growled a faint warning. Orelighn shut up as the tall Chieftain of the Ekhtouch approached.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	“Greetings, Honored Orelighn, Honored Eska, Honored Deskie. May I join your fire?”
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	She named Deskie as the most famous Gnoll of the Longstalker’s tribe. Completely ignoring their [Shaman], who looked a bit put out. Orelighn rose with Eska.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	The Chieftain sat gracefully. A giant like the others. Her fur was near gold; she had only a single birthmark of brown around her left thigh. Deskie nodded to Inkar as the young woman stared at it.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	Deskie chuckled as she accepted it and poured a drink for herself and Inkar. But she was already moving back. The other Gnolls gave the Chieftains room to have a conversation of note.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	In other words, politics between the tribes even before the Meeting of Tribes had begun. Inkar had a particular Skill so that even as she moved away with Deskie, who was asking if she found any of the Ekhtouch Gnolls interesting, she heard the three Chieftains talking.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	Deskie was gazing at Inkar with a sharp look. She would no doubt want to know what they said; hence their closer position to the Chieftain’s fire despite being ‘away’. Firrelle murmured as she shared around the wine.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	A murmur of surprise from the other two Chieftains. Inkar’s brows rose. She stopped listening and told Deskie.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	Deskie flicked a bug off her knee.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril	The fourth tribe found the three after only three hours of marching into the morning. Inkar, riding along with Deskie, looked up as she heard a howl break the air.
