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 the relevant books where the place occurs.

From January 25, 2013 to November 25, 2014, the series explored locations encountered in The Heir Of Night and The Gathering Of The Lost. Now the series has resumed to ensure the geography of Daughter Of Blood (The Wall Of Night Book Three) is included in our “grand tour”, epic fantasy style. 😀

The new series comprises updates of previous entries as well as the new listings. At present, our traverse of the realm of “T” continues. 😉

Towers of Morning: principal stronghold of the Derai Alliance’s House of Morning, on the Wall of Night

Garan thought that what the Towers of Morning priests called guest quarters was more like an entire wing of their great keep, in which he and the rest of his eight-guard rattled around like pebbles. They had been occupying it for a week now, having seen Sirit, the old Lady of Morning, and her companions safely home from the Keep of Bells. The time spent sheltering from Wall storms, together with Sirit’s age, and the need to skirt wide around Adamant territory on their return, had made it a very slow journey. So despite Morning being one of the priestly Houses, and the Towers echoing and half-empty, the eight-guard had accepted the opportunity to rest their horses, and themselves, before setting out for the Keep of Winds.
