Book Cover

Post by LandTaster »

Is the forest on the cover of The Illearth War supposed to be Revelwood or Garroting Deep. Does anyone know or is it just something the artist drew for the heck of it?

Is the thing in the middle supposed to be the gibbet?

I'm confused - what cover are you talking about? I'm thinking of the original US cover, with Mhoram and Caerroil Wildwood.

There is one cover for TIW that shows what seems to be a giant banyan tree. Another seems to show Garrotting Deep. So the author of the original post should clarify, or else the answer must be "it depends".
