"The Waswood is full of things that used to be: lost correspondence, childhood treasures, the scent of night-blooming jasmine in the forecourt of a friend's villa. Liturgical vestments from the worship of dead gods.
"Nothing that has come here will ever return. Don't step on the shore."
The Waswood was a region of Parabola that housed things long-past and long-forgotten. It also seemed to house what could have been, like alternate versions of major historical events.[1]
The Woods That Were
As one might expect of a Parabolan landmark, descriptions of this place varied. It was remembered as a thriving forest of willows along a river, twined with honeysuckle vines;[2][3] but at some other time, long ago, it was a barren waste of dead trees.[4][5]
The Glory, the creature that now forms the backbone of the Chelonate, once walked the Waswood.[4]
Pieces of the Past, Strewn About

The area around Moulin in the Hinterlands is strewn with historical relics, both true and false,[6] as one of the five rivers of the dead flows through a mirror from the Waswood to Moulin.[7] The mirror was placed as the result of a pact between two of Moulin's residents and the Fingerkings; the pair were a human-devil couple who sought both material gain and protection.[8]
