Ossra Stillfoot - Tremor-Reading Shaman of Cinderglade
Cinderglade's clans run on instinct; Ossra Stillfoot stands motionless and listens to what the ground itself is about to do. A tremor-reading shaman who guides Cindersight's vision quests, and who has begun feeling something in the earth she can't yet explain.
Introduction
Cinderglade runs. Its clans reenact the Flame-Spirit's gallop every Run of Karvax, and its people are plainsrunners before they are anything else, always moving, always reading what's ahead. Ossra Stillfoot is the one exception the whole enclave has learned to trust. When the herds grow restless for no reason anyone can name, when the ground hums wrong underfoot, Cinderglade doesn't look to the sky or the flame first. It looks for the old centaur who has stopped moving, planted a forehoof against bare earth, and gone very, very quiet.

"The ground doesn't lie to flatter you. Stand still long enough, and it will tell you exactly what's coming."
Appearance: Ossra is broad and grey-maned, her centaur's flanks the color of cooled ash with darker dapples along the withers, and she moves at a walk so measured that newcomers sometimes mistake her for lame. She isn't. Her forehooves are worn smooth and slightly flattened along the sole, decades of being pressed flat to bare ground rather than lifted in a stride. A collection of small bored stones and fired-clay tokens hangs threaded on cord across her chest, each one scratched with a mark only she can read, and a plain ceremonial pike rides balanced across her back more often than in her hands. Her human half is lean and weathered, forearms and collarbone marked with old ash-burns from nights spent sitting too close to vents she was listening to rather than watching. She rarely speaks above a low, even register, and she almost never speaks first.
