The Wall of Night Series map; design by Peter Fitzpatrick<\/p><\/div>\n

The A Geography of Haarth<\/strong><\/a> series is traversing the full range of locales and places from The Wall of Night<\/a> world of Haarth.<\/p>\n

In the case of Butterworth, although it is a place in The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, it derives its name from a character, Jan Butterworth—who was so named because she won the “Tuckerization” contest I ran as part of celebrating publication of The Heir Of Night<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy this glimpse into both the world building, and on days like today, the backstory to the world building. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The village had an alehouse as well as a forge, with a crumbling stone tower on the edge of the nearby chestnut woods. \u201cAlthough only owls live there now,\u201d the girl who was sweeping the alehouse step told Malian, before bringing her a tankard of cool brown beer and filling the trough beside the step with water for the cob.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
