read the last three threads and you'll understand, but here's a synopsis on the Ashlanders for you anyway.
The Telvanni, under Melkaan Uvirith, are expanding their borders, pushing Zainab out of the grazelands, Erabeninsum out of their homes, and Ahemussa out of their's. More than that, for reasons not given, Melkaan has ordered the exinction of the Ashlanders, so Telvanni troops in the area west of Sadrith Mora's orders are to execute any Ashlander's they see.
Kaushad, the Zainab Ashkhan, was forced to retreat from Zainab camp into their hidden Tomb, Neran Ancestral Tomb. Their Wise woman, Sinnobu, advised Kaushad send someone out to find the Ashlanbders and rally their support against the Telvanni, who now try to extinct them.
En'Fel, my character, lead the troupe sent out the rally the support. He was harshly refused by Ahemussa and Urshilaku. Ahemussa have been on Ald Daedroth for a long time now, and refused to leave their camp. Urshilaku are expanding their camp site and are being very prosperous, but see no reason to support Zainab's pride, and explained in a short while they will take Zainab refugees, but they will not fight the Telvanni.
En'Fel was seperated from his troupe in Ald-ruhn. They went to Erabeninsum without him. Thie leader, Hel'Tic, told the Erabeninsum ashkhan (you) that the Telvanni were attacking, giving the tribe time to flee to the Neran Ancestral Tomb and unite themselves with Zainab against the Telvanni. The troupe was murdered off by the Telvanni when they finally reached Erabeninsum.
En'Fel managed to rally the help of an old friend of the Ahemussa Ashkhan and the Urshilaku wise woman, so with her help, he formed a meeting to decide how the tribes should act against the new threat.
There, all caught up.

And the Buddha replied, "Why not try crawling into the blazing furnace?"
