The Sunscar Outriders

A hundred years ago the keep sent its army north through the Sunscar to hold Marshal's Pass. The army never came home, and its captain never let it stop marching. Every night the Last March climbs out of the dry riverbed and walks north again, and every night a few of them walk straight through Dustwatch, the Outriders' village of sandstone and awnings at the canyon's western edge.

The Outriders are Ilsa, her maps and her letters home, which are getting shorter. Around them has grown a small, dry fellowship: Grave Digger Wend, who buries the dead and keeps having to do it again; Mother Juniper at Thorn Oasis, who feeds anyone who looks like they have been walking through bones all day; and Private Rattle, who has been marching for a century and would very much like his discharge papers.

They want the road open and the dead at rest, in that order. They do not want grave robbers, choirs that sing skeletons awake, or anything that lives in Sinkmire. Ilsa keeps a list. It is a long list.
