And All Between

Cover And All Between
Genres: Fiction
All over the city of Orbora, from the grand and luxurious nid-places on the lower branchways, to the smallest and simplest dwellings high up in the upper grand heights, the Kindar slept in placid reliance on the holiness and wisdom of the Ol-zhaan. And in the Temple Grove most of the Ol-zhaan slept too, secure in the tradition that set them apart behind barriers of honor and power. But in one of the most palatial dwellings of the grove, in a nid-place reached by a long covered rampway that led ...directly up from the central platform of the Temple grounds, the honey lamps shone long into the night. There, seated on a thronelike chair of ornately inlaid pan-wood, an elderly Ol-zhaan of stately build had remained awake and alert through most of the long hours of darkness. And when he at last arose, sighing heavily, he did not make his way to his nid-chamber, but instead only crossed the reception hall to a large padded settee. There, after carefully arranging a number of beautifully embroidered pillows, he stretched out his bulky frame in a manner that could hardly have provided great comfort to a person of such ample proportions.MoreLess
