“A thin, shrill wind had risen in the night and was blowing steadily from the north.\u00a0 It brought a cold dawn with it, creeping across the Gray Lands and around the Border Mark.\u00a0 The pillar of weathered stone had been standing long before the Derai ever came to the world of Haarth and the inscriptions on its surface were worn down by time.\u00a0 No one could read them anymore, just as no one knew who had placed the pillar there.\u00a0 It served now to mark the boundary of Derai influence and the end\u2014or beginning\u2014of the road that snaked south into low, rounded hills, toward the River lands.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
