The encampment of Poortool’s Horde lies about 20
miles due east of Nibenay. It lies at the edge of the
scrub plains, where the rocky badlands of the Blackspine
Mountains begin to take shape to the northeast and
the salt flats of the Great Ivory Plain spread out to the
south. The camp consist of a small village with modest
fortifications. There is a low earth wall topped with wooden
spikes, built to discourage predators. A garrison of 50 gith
maintain watch in three shifts. The sentries surround the
village and maintain visual contact with one another. The
area is gith territory and as a result few travelers or raiding
bands pass by unmolested
