Hills of the Hawk:  an alternate name for the range of hills called Jaransor
.
“She walked on alone to the edge of the trees, staring out over the wild terrain to the west and the steep, bush-clad heights bathed in evening amber—and was struck again by the immensity of the land, and a sky that held nothing except the falcon’s hovering speck. 

We came from the stars, Malian thought, staring up at the hawk.  Or so the histories say.  I should not feel intimidated by this country, however vast it seems. 

Nevertheless, she was intimidated.  “Jaransor,” she murmured, as if saying the name aloud could empower her.  “The hills of the hawk.”  Leaves rustled and there was a footfall in the grass but it was not Kalan who came to stand beside her.  “I feel like I am standing on the very edge of the world,” she said to Kyr.“

“The voice of this land, bordering wilderness, was more somber. The song of the wildfire and the flood, she thought. And because she was wearing Nhenir, she also heard another sound far beneath it: the faint, distant rumble of rocks, grinding deep in the earth.

Jaransor, the Hills of the Hawk, might lie well beyond the horizon, but Malian knew she would never forget the anger that smoldered beneath their tors. Hearing that savage grumble now, however muted by distance, she realized that the Rindle might not have been her first encounter with the song of Haarth, after all.”
