The person
Boren names shelter ledges after the people who built them, rejecting the numbered military charts. He ordered the closure that preceded the Cinder Breach and has never explained what he heard beneath the furnace. His grandson Tarin asks for a map of the buried road. Boren offers a route to every shelter except the one nearest it.
Place in the family
Their children are Oren Halvek and Sella Halvek. Family authority does not settle the disagreement described above.
Sella sends food to Rose Citadel and redeems road workers’ tokens at face value.
Oren understands the pass machinery well enough to know it is failing and poorly enough to fear changing it.
The Halveks maintain the three highland passes and charge for the warmth that keeps them open.
Jessa knows how long a meal must last by counting the animals, not the soldiers.
A mountain garrison admitted wounded travelers from both sides and became a permanent hospice.
Hedra records the sound of furnace valves by making notches in a wooden flute.
