"With no lamps to dazzle your eyes, it's easier to make out the silhouettes on the horizon: the outline of Aescwine Hill, the inconsistent presence of Hillchanger Tower."[2]
Aescwine Hill is a landmark near the outskirts of Ealing Gardens.[3] The summit is a popular painting spot for landscape artists,[4] if they can brave the enormous scorpions that infest the slopes.[5] It is also one of the resting points for Hillchanger Tower, which travels across the Hinterlands[6][7] but returns atop Aescwine every midnight.[8][1]
The aforementioned scorpions, called Hillchanger scorpions, are the size of cats and unusually "well-trained."[9] Their venom can only be extracted when Hillchanger Tower is at Aescwine; otherwise they produce only smoke.[10]
