Lie #23:
A half-day's walk into the Old Forest, the store palisade begins. Great columns of rock, 100 paces around and three or four times taller than the tallest tree march in a perimeter around the virgin woodland. Each pillar is an hour's walk from the next. It is said that they form a huge semicircle 50 leagues long. The palisade is not a legacy of a bygone age. Foresters have reported repairs - leaning columns reseated and eroding columns replaced - although they will not venture to guess who does that work or why.
