'Think of the word “Finnest”. Its meaning, as the T’lan Imass know it, is “Hold of Ice” '

"It was new, young. Even now, as he continued to watching it, he saw trembles of shaping ripple beneath its angular, geometric surfaces. What had been no more than a tree stump less than an hour ago was now a house. A massive door lay half buried in shadows beneath an arching branch. Vines barred shuttered windows. A balcony hung above and to the left of the door, festooned with leaves and creepers. It led into a kind of tower, turreted above the second story and shingled to a gnarled peak. Another tower marked the house's front right flank, the one stockier and windowless, its flat roof with jagged merlons lining the edge. He suspected this roof was a platform, with access through a trapdoor of some kind.

The glade around the structure had changed, too, becoming mounded here and there as if the house's yard was a burial ground. Young scraggly trees ringed each oblong mound, each growing as if an invisible wind twisted them away from the humped, grassy earth. The roots had dragged the apparition into one such mound."
