A Geography Of Haarth: Wymark
The A Geography of Haarth post series explores 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.
This is the Very Last entry for A Geography Of Haarth, for now. We have traversed Haarth from A to, well, W (because currently there are no entries for X, Y, or Z) and today have reached our final destination.
I know I’ve enjoyed the journey tremendously and I hope you have, too. 😉

Wymark: one of the six marks of Emer; the name is a shortening of Wyvern Mark

“Vertward proper lay on the far side of that wood, Malian knew, with Wymark and the Southern March beyond. And beyond that again, Lathayra and the Plains of Jhaine—and finally, Ishnapur. She felt the old magic of the names, luring her, and wondered if she would go there yet, on her quest for the Derai Lost.”
