Hence the crowd below, my lord; yet they are nothing compared with the crowds that today are pressing their way from all D'Hartia and Kospia towards the Mahovisal." "All because of the Day?" "And to see YOU, my lord." "All believers in the Jarados?" "All truly; but they do not all believe in your lordship.
They are the Mahovisal, and of the Temple of the Bell. They are led by the great Bar Senestro." "And there were times when these Bars, led by this Senestro, held guard over the Spot of Life?" To this Geos nodded; and Watson went on: "And who is this great Senestro?" "He is the chief of the Bars, and a prince of D'Hartia. He is the affianced of the two queens, the Aradna and the Nervina."
"The TWO of them?" Whereupon Watson learned something rather peculiar. It seemed that the princes of D'Hartia had always married the queens. This Senestro had had a brother, but he died. And in such an event it was the iron custom that the surviving brother marry both queens. It had happened only once before in all history; but the precedent was unbreakable. "Then, there is nothing against it?"
"What is the 'Thomahlia'?" "The Thomahlia! Why, it is called the world; our name for the world. It comprises, physically, land, water and air; politically, it embraces D'Hartia, Kospia and a few minor nations." "Who are the Rhamdas?"
When she caught Watson's eye she smiled; a smile free and unrestrained, out of an open, happy heart. She made a remark to one of her guards, who nodded a reply after the manner of a friend, rather than a courtier. Watson turned to the Geos, who stood somewhat to one side, and a little to the rear. "The Aradna?" "Yes. The queen of D'Hartia. The man on the other side is the Bar Senestro."
After a bit of puzzling Chick ran across a yellow patch marked with some strange characters which, upon examination, were translated in some unknown manner within his subconscious mind, to "D'Hartia." Another was lettered "Kospia." Assuming that these were land and there were a few other, smaller ones, of the same shade then the land area covered approximately three-fifths of the globe.
