Gathering of the Three Fires

“When the moon wore her summer crown, three fires burned where the world had only known one.
The Shell, the Feather, and the Fang met beneath the same smoke, and their chiefs shared breath.
From their sparks rose the First Circle and a promise that no flame would ever die alone.”

— Excerpt from the Gathering of the Three Fires

According to Ainari oral tradition, the gods of the hunt and the hearth watched that gathering and blessed it with longevity. Each fire represented one clan’s spirit, and when the embers mingled, the gods saw a single flame.
