Stonehenge (1999)
“There were more than twice as many huts as when Saban had left, indeed there were so many that they now filled more than half the space inside the encircling wall, while a whole new settlement had been built beyond the embankment on the higher ground close to the wooden temple of Slaol. Yet the most startling change was that Lahanna’s temple had been replaced by a great round thatched building. “It used to be the temple,” Galeth told Saban, “only now it is Lengar’s hall.”
“His hall?” Saban was shocked. It seemed a terrible thing to transform a temple into a hall.
“Derrewyn worships Lahanna in Cathallo,” Galeth explained, “so Lengar decided to insult the goddess. He pulled down most of the poles, roofed it, and he now feasts here.” Galeth had led Saban through the soaring hut’s doorway into a cavernous interior much higher and larger than Kereval’s great building at Sarmennyn. A dozen of the Old Temple posts were left, only they now supported a high thatched roof that soared toward a h...ole at the peak where smoke could escape, though that vent was barely visible because the roof beams were hung with a multitude of spears and smoke – darkened skulls.MoreLess
