The Cinderheart Basin is a broad ancestral homeland where Cinderjackal settlements follow rivers, springs, old clan roads, and mineral seams. Its cities rise in black stone terraces, while smaller hearth communities spread through scrubland, floodplain, and volcanic foothills. Trade brings wealth and outsiders, but clan law, hospitality, and memory remain powerful. Every route offers contrasts between crowded markets, lonely shrines, dangerous ash fields, and ruins from forgotten ages.
