Chapter Text
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril And the entire tribe that had adopted Inkar was moving. As their female Chieftain, Eska, explained, some tribes would send representatives.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril Inkar nodded. She felt compelled to remind Eska.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril Eska’s teeth flashed.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril She had hardly struggled to fit in. And indeed—Eska gave her an affectionate pat on the arm.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril Eska laughed and pointed. Beyond her, herds of pink sheep plodded past some cows ambling in their own lane. Goats, a flock of very nasty chickens which were worse than guard dogs if you tried to attack them, and even some rabbits, were being shepherded by hundreds of Gnolls on the move. Some were on foot; most had horses, or other beasts of burden.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril That was months ago. Now, the old [Spinner] pinched Inkar’s cheek affectionately. She had stayed by Inkar, refused to allow the dissent. Neither had Eska.
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 The answer was obvious and Eska’s hesitation clear as the second tribe appeared over the hill they were descending, as the ground leveled out and became the Great Plains, so reminiscent of her homeland for their flat, enormous landscapes. But the Great Plains were many times larger than her entire homeland, Inkar had learned.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril Eska did not. She greeted the senior [Chieftain] with a strong hug, and the grey-furred Orelighn looked curiously at Inkar.
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril “I greet you, Honored Eska and your tribe. Will you stay with ours and hunt and eat for a day?”
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril One of the other Gnolls, the young [Stalker Hunter] who’d befriended Inkar, part of the escort for Eska, whispered. Eska’s ears twitched and she turned to glare at the younger Gnoll. The Chieftain of the Greenpaw Tribe sighed again.

Interlude – The Tribes of Izril “We have precious little to give the Meeting of Tribes. But perhaps—there is hope. That is why I asked for your Human, Eska. Inkar the Traveller, we have heard your name.”
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril “This is good. While your tribe makes camp, Eska, I will show you what we found months ago. This way.”
Interlude – The Tribes of Izril Neither tribe was huge. Big tribes could be over a hundred thousand Gnolls. Not in one place; they split up after certain points. But Inkar heard the names of the other large tribes as Eska and Orelighn talked.
