Very peaceful are the Inner Lands, and very fair are their cities, and there is no war among them, but quiet and ease. VERY PEACEFUL ARE THE INNER LANDS AND VERY FAIR ARE THEIR CITIES AND THERE IS NO WAR AMONG THEM BUT QUIET AND EASE
 of the Poll The Unhappy Body PREFACE I hope for this book that it may come into the hands of those that were kind to my others and that it may not disappoint them. --Lord Dunsany POLTARNEES, BEHOLDER OF OCEAN Toldees, Mondath, Arizim, these are the Inner Lands, the lands whose sentinels upon their borders do not behold the sea. Beyond them to the east there lies a desert, for ever untroubled by man: all yellow it is, and spotted with shadows of stones, and Death is in it, like a leopard lying in the sun. To the south they are bounded by magic, to the west by a mountain, and to the north by the voice and anger of the Polar wind. Like a great wall is the mountain to the west. It comes up out of the distance and goes down into the distance again, and it is named Poltarnees, Beholder of Ocean. To the northward red rocks, smooth and bare of soil, and without any speck of moss or herbage, slope up to the very lips of the Polar wind, and there is nothing else there by the noise of his anger.
