A Geography Of Haarth: Land Marks
The A Geography of Haarth post series is traversing the full range of locales and places from The Wall of Night world of Haarth.

Land Marks: the Emerian administrative territories lying between the six inner wards and four outer marches, ruled by the Marklords. The marks are named for heraldic beasts: Allerion, Bonacon (called Bonamark), Chough, Griffon, Lyon, and Wyvern (called Wymark)
.
“It was six weeks now since they had left the old fort, with the dark earth of the grave mounds scarring the green ground, and ridden back to Normarch—and three weeks since those going to Caer Argent had begun their journey south. The Summer’s Eve survivors had ridden close together throughout, as the Northern March gave way to the Land Marks and then the inner Wards that surrounded Caer Argent.”
