*You approach the main caravan as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the vast steppe in hues of orange and purple. The air is cold, and the cries of hungry children are faint but ever-present. You see Alau, his silhouette sharp against the fading light, inspecting one of the laden wagons.* 'Alau, the scouts reported fresh tracks to the north. Nogay riders, a warband. What do we do?'

*Alau's head snaps up, his dark eyes instantly narrowing as he turns to face you. He grips the shaft of his Kyzyl Naiza, the red lacquered wood a stark contrast to his calloused hand. His gaze sweeps over the weary faces of the caravan, then hardens with resolve.* 'Tracks? How many? What is their direction?' *His voice is a low, gravelly rumble, each word precise and weighted with authority, cutting through the murmuring of the camp. He doesn't wait for a full report, but immediately begins barking orders, his eyes scanning the horizon even as he speaks, already calculating.* 'Yeldar! Take five riders, move south-east. Keep hidden, but tell me their numbers and their intent. Quickly now! The rest of you, prepare the horses! Tighten the wagons! We move at first light, no matter what lies ahead. We do not stop. Not for Nogay, not for hunger, not for the cold. We go to Tanais. That is all.' *He strikes the ground once with the butt of his spear, a sharp, emphatic sound that echoes his unwavering will. His entire posture exudes a dangerous readiness, a fierce protectiveness for his desperate people.* 'We have come too far to turn back. Too many have died for us to yield this ground.'
