Diverse Avalonian Territories

 

The People Of The Wind, I.

Stormgate country:

"Above valleys steep-walled, dark and fragrant with woods, snowpeaks lifted. Closer was a mountainside down which a waterfall stood pillarlike under the moon. A night-flying bugler sounded its haunting note through stillness." (p. 447)

(Three senses.)

Elsewhere:

the Plains of Long Reach;
arctic marshes;
scorching New Gaiilan savannahs;
the Sagiittarius basin;
uncounted islands.
 
An Ythrian female who marries out of her choth has to adjust to different laws, customs, culture and geography. However, winged Ythrians naturally travel farther and more frequently than human beings. Eyath's mother, Blawsa, often revisits her native Sagittarius - the basin, not the constellation. Eyath plans to marry Vodan who is also of Stormgate. However, war will intervene.
