The Summer Dens

As the operating base of Himaryn's Sehali hunters, the Summer Dens function both as the permanent residence for the pride children when the packs/prides move out, and as a camp at which meat drying, salting, and preservation takes place when the food will not reach its intended destination in a timely fashion. While most city-dwelling Himarynians will universally complain of the poor taste of purchased dried meat, this system is a necessity in urban centers where the surroundings are over-hunted and live prey are scarce. Properly dried meat can last for months without spoiling.
