TERM

"Where the wound is inside the land"

Nancáro's name for the way into the sleeping thing's lair, and the one place he can still be called from

STANDING: LORE · PLACE · HAUDH-GWENN · THE LAIR MOUTH ◆ CURSE-TOUCHED

The phrase is Nancáro’s, and it means the entrance to the lair of the thing sleeping under Haudh-Gwenn. Since his elevation he is not somewhere a person can walk to, and this is the one place he left an ear: go there, call, and he will hear it and know what it is about.

He left it because he had put a question to Koa that Koa would not answer on the spot. The thing can be pressed back down into its prison, which buys years and leaves Gwen exactly as she is, or it can be cut away from her now, which frees her and leaves almost no time at all. Koa wanted to ask her first.

So the call is the answer, and the terms cut both ways. If no call comes, that is the decision, and he will read it as one.

AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECORD

“Go to where the wound is inside the land, the entrance to this thing's lair. Go there and call to me. I'll hear your call and I'll know what it's for. If I don't hear your call, then I'll know what your decision is.”

— NANCÁRO
