The Nine Swords at Swords Pool
and The Blue Stallion at Dead Tree Hollow
OUTH
of ‘the High Reach,’ a nickname used to distinguish
the town of King's Reach from The Dragon Reach, which divides
The Vast from the Dales, the road leaves the mountains and crosses
rolling hill country. Its route roughly divides the walled farms
of The Vast from the High Country, a large expanse of grassy hills
and rocky moorland inhabited mainly by shepherds and their flocks.
Several small stopover camps are found along the
North Road as it crosses this rolling open land, each by a pond
or stream. At least two of these sites boast inns, The Nine Swords
at Swords Pool, and The Blue Stallion at Dead Tree Hollow.
