The lightning catchers, while surprised at finding people stranded in clouds, simply drop them off once they're done in the storm. This still manages to get our heroes stuck in the clouds. The Babylon candle works as a teleport, based off whatever is in your mind when you light it. When Tristran and Yvaine escape Lamia at the trap inn, they end up in the clouds because the inn was high on a mountainside and that's where the few steps they had took them.
Combined with Tristran's way finding it gets him to the star near instantly. The Babylon candle is actually a nursery rhyme reference and while lit every step you take is leagues long. The carnivorous wood is never encountered. Tristan then gets Una's gifts given to him, and rather than use them to teleport to her as intended, teleports to the star with a stray thought. Said traveller, grateful for his life, finds a Babylon candle for Tristran, since the star is still quite far, and a tool for him to bind it with. Tristran discovers he can instinctively know the direction of any location in Faerie, and uses this to lead them to the proper path out. Shortly into his journey he comes upon a fellow traveler, and they get trapped in a carnivorous wood. Tristan tried to cross the wall to get the star, and gets his rear-end kicked by the guardian, despite his father getting through years earlier with a quick distraction. Tristran intentionally sets off to find the star, and is let through the Wall after a short aside between his father and the guards. Market appears to be a permanent town with a running bazaar that's a bit further into Stormhold. Market is a semi-regular trade fair that sets up in the clearing right through the portal, and is marked as an occasion for the village, both for the wonder of what can be for sale and for the many travelers that come to town for business. A regular rotation of village men comprises the guard.Īpparently nobody is allowed through the Wall, and all are stopped by a spry smiling fellow who says he's 97 and considers it his lifelong duty to let nothing through the portal. The Wall is guarded, but mainly to prevent anyone who might not know about it from wandering through, or to keep the truly reckless out. The name is changed to Tristan, to keep people from stumbling on r's, and he and his father live alone.
Our hero's name is Tristran, and he has other family besides his father.
