Memory Sorrow and Thorn Wiki

The Nine Gardenborn Cities were nine great cities founded by the Gardenborn when they fled Venyha Do'sae, the Lost Garden, millennia earlier. The cities were great master-works in addition to housing the Sithi, Norns, and their kin for eons. Each of the Nine Cities had a Master Witness, which allowed for communication to the other cities, even across great distances.

The cities were slowly abandoned due to environmental factors or invasion.

  • Asu'a - destroyed in the year 666 by the mortal army of the Rimmergard king Fingil; the remains of Asu'a were built over and became the castle known as the Hayholt.
  • Da'ai Chikiza - the remnants of this city are lost in Aldheorte Forest, near the River Aelfwent.
  • Enki-e-Shao'saye - city lost in the southeastern portion of Aldheorte Forest.
  • Hikehikayo - city given to the Tinukeda'ya by Jenjiyana of the Nightingales.
  • Jhiná T'seneí - city given to the Tinukeda'ya; lost under the waves when the land sank.
  • Kementari - lost city on or near Warinsten Island.
  • Mezutu'a - city given to the Tinukeda'ya by Jenjiyana of the Nightingales.
  • Nakkiga-That-Was - remnants of the original city are located at the base of Stormspike Mountain. The Norns no longer inhabit the original city, having moved inside of caverns inside the mountain.
  • Tumet'ai - city abandoned due to encroaching ice.
