“I am called Tarathan of Ar and I am a herald from the Guild House in Terebanth, in the lands of the River. Amongst other things, I seek out the hidden and find the lost.”

“…And this”—the tune became eerie, with a thread of darkness through it—“is the opening sequence from the ballad that tells of the founding of the Shadow Band to ensure that Kelmé, the child prince of Ar, lived to grow up.”
~ from The Gathering of the Lost: The Wall of Night Book Two; Chapter 28 — Border Crossing

“Fire roared across Malian’s vision, but the screaming and clamor of battle went on. When the fire cleared the sky was still discolored, this time by smoke from the fires that burned both within and outside the River city of Ar. As she watched, catapults hurled rocks and more fire while siege engines lumbered toward the soaring walls.”
~ from Daughter Of Blood: The Wall of Night Book Three; Chapter 17 — Faces of the Moon
