A Geography Of Haarth: New Keep
The A Geography of Haarth post series is traversing the full range of locales and places from The Wall of Night world of Haarth. Each locale is accompanied by a quote from either The Heir Of Night, The Gathering Of The Lost, or both.

“Malian laughed aloud, but sobered as they turned into the golden blaze of the New Keep. Darkness never fell in these corridors and halls where jewel-bright tapestries graced the walls and the floors were patterned with coloured tiles. Pages sped by on their innumerable errands while soldiers marched with measured tread and the vaulted ceilings echoed with all the commotion of a busy keep.”

“Garan, looking past her, saw the two young priests toward the rear of the company. They still wore the silver-gray robes of initiates, although with the black trim and winged-horse emblem that denoted those who kept the now five-year-old watch on the portals between the New Keep of Winds and the Old. Vern was studying the Stone priests, his expression serious, but Var smiled slightly when he caught Garan’s eye.”
