A Geography Of Haarth: The Leas

The Wall of Night Series map; design by Peter Fitzpatrick

The A Geography of Haarth post series is exploring the full range of locales and places from The Wall of Night world of Haarth. 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 week, we’re still deep in the terrain of “T.” 😉

The Leas: a meadow area on Emer’s nothern march and the site of a former village
.

“The skylark was singing again when they left The Leas. Or perhaps, thought Carick, it was another bird pouring its song into the morning, unperturbed by battle and death. Mist still feathered the meadow and it was hard to believe that barely an hour had passed since the sun rose. And harder still to accept that young men who had been alive and eager in the gray predawn…were now corpses trussed across a horse’s back. They were leaving horses behind as well, some slain in the battle and others put down afterward.”
