It is the seasonal congress area of the Endless Path Confederation. It is empty steppe most of the year; Tens of thousands of people, herds and caravans come during the congress period.

Wind Circle is not a permanent city but an emptiness that becomes a city when the congress arrives. Tent rings are laid each year according to the wind, herd health, and the order of old compacts. A stone embassy is therefore not merely a forbidden building: it is a claim of permanent right over migration paths.
The congress at work
First Ring is where road law is spoken and visitors lay down weapons. Herd Shade holds healers, water sharers, and the herd market. Open Word is the wind stage where every community may speak. At night, the Bell Line carries news of missing children, storm, and road disputes to the far edge. When the congress disperses, all of it is removed; only the direction of trampled grass remains.
The confederation’s hardest rule is that no community may close another’s return path. The embassy foundation directly violates that rule. Some want it burned; others prefer to hear its envoy once and make it accept road law instead.
Table tensions
- Beneath the stone embassy lie the lost-herd signs of every previous congress.
- The Bell Line announces not danger but the return of a caravan that never arrived.
- Two communities sing different songs proving the same well was promised to them in an old compact.
