Something new, something nostalgic

Further up the hill, a moonlit landscape dotted by firelight came into view. Ferlen was a quiet corner of the world, gentle slopes and lush meadows about her. The five counties were set into the terrain by lakes and streams before any Elgari tribes gathered there from the eastern woodlands. The land was their mother — and good care of them she took, with soft hands and a stern voice. News of the outside world only arrived through the mouths of distant travelers or drifted on the tender waves of the Silver Sea, who laid them upon Ferlen’s pebble shores. And they preferred it so. What the Elgari knew best was the way of winter. This far up north, every creature lived on the terms of long summer days and winter nights, both harsh in their own ways, but merciful as long as no offense came their way. The Elgari, quiet and resilient like the land, thought these terms fair.

#books #writingcommunity #WIPsnips Anyone who guesses what piece of literature inspired this paragraph has my respect 📜
...they all knew their miracles had a cost. Some of them had seen me weep or collapse, others were content to merely listen to rumors. They all knew the cost had to be paid. Some of them understood why and some did not, but they all understood that their health, their happiness, the beauty of their city, depended wholly on my abominable misery.

Current sci-fi hyperfixation: Arcologies (coined by Paolo Soleri in 1969). Blend of architecture + ecology that allows for dense populations with low ecological impact, and the result is these sexy behemoths
