A Geography Of Haarth: Telimbras
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.
This week, after some time spent traversing “S”, we enter “T.” 😉

Telimbras: the braided river that runs the length of the Jaransor hills, separating them from the Gray Lands. It eventually becomes a tributary of the Ijir. Also known as “the river of no return.”

“She let her mind soar, following the bird, and suddenly the whole world was sharper, clearer, every rock and ridge outlined as though she saw it through the falcon’s eyes. That gaze swung wider, out over the plain, and Malian felt certain that her enemies were there, hidden beneath the milky haze. Their presence buzzed at her, sharp as a wasp along the outer edge of her mind. She could sense an inexorable quality to their pursuit, and did not think the river Telimbras would stop them for long.”
