A Geography Of Haarth: Wild Lands
Huzza! We’re back to the A Geography of Haarth post series, which is traversing the full range of locales and places from The Wall of Night world of Haarth — although there aren’t too many entries left until we hit Z!
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. 🙂
Each locale is accompanied by a quote from the relevant books where the place occurs, and the new series comprises updates of previous entries as well as the new listings.

Initially, she rode north to see if she could discern any sign of the Hedeld fort, but like the trading post, it must lie farther toward the Wild Lands than she had realized. When she reached a high point on the road and saw nothing but trees interspersed with water courses and bog country, Malian knew that The River truly had given way to wilderness.
