Hearth Description

A large raging bonfire sits in the center of camp. Around it are benches and weapon racks. Soldiers spend much of their time here or near here. Discussion happens here, people eat here, nearby people do individual training here (unit training can be done elsewhere) or sparring matches happen here. The snow is kept at bay by the fire and high traffic in the area, no one really cleans up except if there is garbage laying about. Everyone is responsible for keeping the area clean and the bonfire burning. Bonfire duty can be assigned to anyone but there is a standard rotating roster. Assume you character has or will take this duty at some point, it doesn't need to be role-played but can if you like. Also buckets of fresh water made from snow are heated at this fire side so there is warm, fresh water for tea or for cleaning up.
