			===The Temple Fastness===
			"Their destination was a fastness carved from the face of a mountain peak, and the Queen had never thought she would see anything to rival the beauty of the throneworld palace but this… this easily compared, though in a wholly different manner. There was no delicacy in it, despite the multiple balconies and enormous window walls overlooking the sky. No one had bothered to soften the ruggedness of the rock in which the manse was embedded. This was, the Queen decided, a monument to a wilder beauty, and a celebration of the natural world to which the Chatcaava belonged, and the sky that was their birthright. All of them, wingless or not."<ref name="fr-18" />

Their ledge abutted a wall four times the length of their shuttle; it had been flattened out of the rock and carved with sensuous shapes, animals of every kind, reliefs polished until their curves looked like marble. For all Sediryl knew, it was marble—she’d never studied geology. A single opening was set into this wall, twice as tall as Sediryl was high, and two carved Chatcaava, both winged, framed it, their joined hands delineating the topmost arch."<ref name="fr-14" />		"..on a plateau midway up a mountain, a glorious brown and silver mountain that shone in the high, bright light of the sun.

	"The entrance led into a tunnel. Its walls were chased with flowing creatures, sea and sky and land, the contours pulled from the shadows by warm pinlights near the ceiling. Sediryl had been fearing a long and tortuous descent, but the tunnel opened quickly into an intimate cave, no larger than Sediryl’s sitting room in Nuera. A single couch had been hewn from a wall barren of ornament save a trickle of water that issued from somewhere Sediryl couldn’t see in the faint gold veil cast by yet more of the pinlights. An occasional tinkle sounded near the floor, where it pooled in a divot the size of Sediryl’s palm.		"The entrance led into a tunnel.

			The floor was just as bare as the walls. No place to sit. No place to build a fire. No windows or skylights. No chimney for smoke. It felt like a womb, like a beginning-of-all-things place, and a quiver shot up Sediryl’s spine as she watched the Chatcaava laying the Queen on the stone table."
