Forest's Rest This spot is known as Forest's Rest, a mild corruption of the name of noted painter and proselyter for Bravenleavanne, Forrest Bess. It was one of the most peaceful places here in Aywatin gwome, for here alone the sound of water transformed into a lighter than air canopy, floating to shield you from the sun, and, for the fortunate, the aywatienne, a kind of aerial jellyfish, would settle here, puffing a cool breeze down upon you. When the Geraldine troops, resplendent in taconite, awaiting the attack on Erailen, scared away even them, dark times were indeed nigh. Here in Aywatin, what we call the Earth turns on its axis 412 times a year, but across the river, in Erailen gwome it turned 350 times. This disalignment made the remarkable literally everyday; stunning sunsets in the night - even a lunar eclipse at high noon (for astronomers, an early example of light pollution). But this was not the danger. It was briefly spanning these gwomes' incompatible textures of time that, despite a most skilled grwost, tore Bess's lifetime (and he was far from alone) in two. In vain, he awaited his own youth here, finally setting off for the southern shores facing the rezhn Klurrulurrudurrul. The self-separation was an added burden for Bess, but it brought at least one gift; he was the only artist ot paint from life both Nobunaga-Gotari and his countless generations distant descendant, Nobunaga-Ventreven.
