The Forest Wardens
10 figures A family: figures with traits in common
Every forest that matters has an officer. The leshy, Humbaba and the anhangá were posted wherever timber and game invited taking, wardens with a moral ledger and a long memory, and the shared idea is jurisdiction, the punishment of transgression rather than presence, a distinction every poacher discovers too late.
the community reconstituted around the classic warden core (leshy, humbaba, anhangá — the blurb headliners); name re attached at families 11 (HH-#21 precedent)
