Named for the stranger who came to the ridge when the moon was new and the ash from the burning temple was still warm.

You can step into any ash pile and emerge from another ash pile within ten miles, but each time you leave a fragment of memory behind, and the ash you step from must be from a fire you witnessed.

"I remember when you still had a shadow," the old woman said, and you had no reply. You had come to the ridge seeking refuge, but the temple was already ash, and the moon hung like a coin in a dead man's eye. You stayed because the ash was warm, and because you had nowhere else to go.
