The\u00a0A Geography of Haarth<\/a>\u00a0post series is traversing the full range of locales and places from\u00a0The Wall of Night<\/a>\u00a0world of Haarth. Each locale is accompanied by a quote from the relevant books where the place occurs.<\/p>\n

From January 25, 2013 to November 25, 2014, the series explored locations encountered in\u00a0The Heir Of Night<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0The Gathering\u00a0<\/em><\/a>Of The Lost<\/em><\/a>. N<\/em>ow the series has resumed to ensure the geography of\u00a0Daughter Of Blood<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(The Wall Of Night Book Three) is included in our \u201cgrand tour\u201d, epic fantasy style.\u00a0😀<\/p>\n

The new series comprises updates of previous entries as well as the new listings. Today, we’ve departed the realm of \u201cT\u201d for “W” — and you know what that means…<\/p>\n

Wall of Night:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0the vast mountain range that protects the world of Haarth from the Swarm of Dark. Garrisoned by the Derai Alliance, the Wall is said to have been created by the House of Night and is also called the Shield-wall of Night.<\/span>

\u201cThe Derai are warlike and fierce,\u201d one storyteller had said solemnly, while another recounted an even older story that claimed the Derai were not from Haarth at all, but had come from the stars long ago. They had, the teller said in hushed tones, built their great strongholds in a night and a day while the world still reeled from their coming. The plains had been riven with earthquake and fire, every river and lake had boiled\u2014and when the cataclysm was over the vast and terrible Wall of Night marched along the northern boundary of the world.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Darkswarm warrior, Jehane Mor reflected as they crept toward the skylight, had to be a danger given the powers she had seen his kind use on the Wall of Night, five years before. No obvious aura surrounded the one in the courtyard, but the ability to detect others\u2019 powers often depended on familiarity with their weaves. And that could work either for or against her now, depending on how much the Swarm knew about Haarth magic.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Myr stared out over league on league of cloud wrack and bitter peaks to the dark smudge that was the furthest limit of the Wall of Night. When the sky was more overcast she sometimes caught the flicker of lightning through the smudge and would shiver, thinking about all those who garrisoned the outlying towers and redoubts built to keep watch over that dark boundary. Today though, the sky was as close to clear as it ever got on the Wall of Night.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
