About

Names
Moonpetal Hinta
Named after the flowers of the night blooming vine, Night Melon, the Moonpetal Hinta, is a migratory band of Sildaryn.

Location

Sildara
The Moonpetal Hinta traverses a circuit at the southern margin of the great forest of Sildara, and spend about two thirds of their annual cycle in the savannah. Like other hintas they travel bi-monthly between a dozen sites along a circuit to avoid overtaxing the local area at any one site.

Camps

The twelve camps the Moonpetal Hinta visits each have specific features or unique resources making them points of interest to the hinta:
Spring Sun Camp
The last camp of winter and the first camp of spring, a starting point for the migration cycle.
Grey Rocks Camp
A series of natural stone pillars dot the terrain around this camp.
Stone Cleft Camp
The site of this camp is haunted by the presence of a deep limestone crevasse. Jageryn are often found using the crevice as a warren, and need to be rooted out on a recurring basis. To this end, rangers will often travel here ahead of the main hinta by as many as ten days to avoid endangering the main population.
Moon Grove Camp
This site contains a sacred grove. This is where the Moonpetal Hinta hangs their masks on the tree of faces. This site is also visited by the Moon Bird Hinta and Black Hand Hinta at differing times of the year.
Red Glade Camp
A site with distinctive reddish clay, used by the hinta for ceramics and paints.
Deep Forest Camp
This site is the furthest camp from the savanna upon which the hinta spends most of its time. It is shared by the Egg Stone Hinta whom spend their winters at this camp.
Knife Tree Camp
This camp features a very large girthed dead tree, which has been carved by the Sildaryn with reliefs of various animals and decorative designs over the years.
This camp is visited at the height of summer.
Lightning Camp
A lakeside camp where frequent lightning is observed over the water during the time of the hinta's visit.
Marsh Camp
At this wetland site, the hinta gathers reeds and other marsh vegetation.
Two Rivers Camp
Located on a high ridge within sight of a pair of rivers which flow in opposite directions. This site is shared by the Blue Grove Hinta who visit during the summer months.
South Camp
The southernmost camp of the Moonpetal hintas annual circuit.
Flintwash Camp
A camp located near a ford of the Flint River. This campsite is important source of flint stones for tools and weapons.
