Eastern Canopy
The place on Porthus's world where a schoolteacher was building a house with her husband, and where she meant to retire.
Story so far
Mentioned once, in Porthus's memory of Menerva. Before the crawl she had been a schoolteacher, about to retire, building a house in the eastern canopy with her husband, and dreaming of opening a club where musicians could perform.
The name is the only glimpse of Porthus's home world in the chapter - a canopy, suggesting an arboreal elven world of the kind the crawl swallows whole. It exists in the text only as the unfinished house of someone who did not come home.
Appearance
Implied to be an arboreal region on an elven world - a canopy in which people build homes.
Role
The one detail of the lost world behind this interlude; shorthand for the ordinary life the crawl deleted.
