heres a few descriptions of Revelstone and Glimmermere
from Runes: Here, at the apex of the promontory, the peaks dropped
to form an upland plateau pointing east and sweeping north.
All the walls of the plateau were sheer, as effective as battle-
ments; and in the center of the upland lay Glimmermere, the
eldritch tarn with its waters untouched by the Sunbane until
they cascaded down Furl Falls in the long south face of the
promontory and passed beyond the sources of their potency.
But the Keep itself stood to the east of Glimmermere and
Furl Falls. The Unhomed had wrought the city of the Lords
into the eastward wedge of the plateau, filling that outcrop
of the Earth's hard gutrock with habitations and defenses.
Power that Preserves:
Some of the farmers-people whose lifework had been taken from them by the winter-crept out
to the upland hills around Glimmermere, sneaking as if they were ashamed to be caught planting
futile rows of seeds in the frozen earth.
After a time, he found himself standing cold in the wind on a hill above Glimmermere. Below
him, the rare, potent waters of the lake lay unruffled despite the buffeting of the wind. Though
the skies above it were as gray as the ashes of the world's end, it seemed to shine with
remembered sunlight. It reflected cleanly the hills and the distant mountains,
but at last the Ranyhyn reached the hills around
Glimmermere,
Mhoram had one hell of an arm
"he lifted the krill and tossed it high into the air. It arced glinting through
the sunlight, struck water in the center of Glimmermere. I was under the impression that Glimmermere was a lake not a pond. I was thinking it was at least half a mile in diameter.
here is the best description of the upland plateau i could find.
After two sharp switchbacks, the passage ended, and he
found himself out in the open, standing on thick grass under the roofless heavens. A league or two
west of him were the mountains.
A cool breeze hinting a fall crispness touched him through the late morning sunlight-a low blowing
as full of ripe earth and harvests as if it were clairvoyant, foretelling bundled crops and full
fruit and seeds ready for rest. But the trees on the plateau and the upland hills were
predominantly evergreens, feathery mimosas and tall pines and wide cedars with no turning of
leaves. And the hardy grass made no concessions to the changing season.
The hills of the upland were Revelstone's secret strength. They were protected by -sheer cliffs on
the east and south, by mountains on the north and west; and so they were virtually inaccessible
except through Lord's Keep itself.
She
turned away from it, and led him northward along the curve of the upland.
In this direction, the plateau rose into rumpled hills; and soon, on their left, away from the
cliff, they began to pass herds of grazing cattle. Cattleherds saluted the High Lord
ceremoniously, and she responded with quiet bows. Later, she and Covenant crossed a hilltop from
which they could see westward across the width of the upland. There, beyond the swift river that
ran south toward the bead of Furl Falls, were fields where crops of wheat and maize rippled in the
breeze. And a league behind the grazeland and the river and the fields stood the mountains, rising
rugged and grand out of the hills. The peaks were snow-clad, and their white bemantling made them
look hoary and aloof-sheer, wild, and irreproachable. The Haruchai lived west and south in this
same range.
they crossed the rise of a high hill, and she announced
that they had arrived. "Ah," she said with a sigh of gladness, "Glimmermere! Lakespring and
riverhead-hail, clean pool! It pleases my heart to see you again."
They were looking down on a mountain lake, the headwater of the river which ran to Furl Falls. For
all the swiftness of the current rushing from it, it was a still pool, with no inflowing streams;
all its water came from springs within it. And its surface was as flat, clear, and reflective as
polished glass. It echoed the mountains and the sky with flawless fidelity, imaging the world in
every detail.
alot of detail....on my map unfortunately i had to sacrifice detail on things i thought would be too small to actually view , even the full scale version of the map the detail is still small...I may re add them to the map as i make the detailed versions but it might not look right..(blur perspective on distant images to make it more realistic) on the larger scale landscapes im adding alot more details, I am working on Seareach and the Grieve(Coerci) and actually im uploading right now a coastline perspective of Seareach the main piece is still in progress ..more mountains and cliff homes and alot of detail bridges walkways. and a more realistic sky.
oh..the coastline of seareach is in the watch history album.
