A Geography Of Haarth: Winter Country
The A Geography of Haarth post series has been exploring the full range of locales and places from The Wall of Night world of Haarth. In the series, each entry is accompanied by a quote from the books in which the place appears, currently either The Heir Of Night or The Gathering Of The Lost, or both.
Today, with the Winter Country, we have reached our penultimate stopping place for the great Haarth traverse. 😉
