A Geography Of Haarth: Ishnapur
The A Geography of Haarth post series is traversing the full range of locales and places from The Wall of Night world of Haarth.
Now the letter “I” may not encompass all the cool places, but with Ij, the Ijir and now Ishnapur, it certainly features quite a few! 😉

“A line of pewter marked the thousand leagues of road that ran from Emer to fabled Ishnapur and beyond that again was the vast and unknown desert, a sea of dunes wrought in jasper, topaz and bronze.”
