On an arid frontier, water agreements are worth more than gold.

Darsenne is a basin of caravan towns where each well belongs to an association of users. Public surveys determine water shares, with no overlord or endless supply. An old map reveals an aquifer crossing several territories: surveyors, herders and negotiators must shape a shared future before the next caravan drains the reserves.

The Pactkeeper's Alcove

The Pactkeeper's Alcove is a low, semicircular building constructed primarily from sun-baked earth bricks and timber accents, located at the edge of the Shared Fodder Plots. With a modest entrance framed by an intricately carved wooden arch, the interior features a circular layout conducive to intimate gatherings. The walls are adorned with vibrant tapestries that depict the various treaties forged between the different water associations. Thick, earthen walls keep the interior cool during the day, while strategically placed openings provide natural cross-ventilation and allow soft light to illuminate the space. In the center, a large round table made from reclaimed wood serves as a meeting place where representatives convene to discuss resource allocation and resolve conflicts. The atmosphere is one of respectful cooperation, filled with the muted sounds of nature and the distant rustle of plants swaying in the wind.

History

The Pactkeeper's Alcove was established as a neutral ground for discussions on water rights and resource sharing. Over the years, it has evolved from a simple shelter into a cultural icon for the communities of Darsenne, symbolizing their commitment to collaborative and sustainable resource management. Documented meetings held here date back several generations, highlighting the importance of negotiation and diplomacy in this arid landscape.
