Kethira-720TR-Harn-Kaldor-Tashal-Bae

Glassworker (Bae of Rysten)

One look through any of several glass-paned windows, or through an open front door, is enough to show that Bae knows her craft. Bottles, vases and serving trays are crowded together in a riot of color and reflected brilliance. At one corner of the display is a small gray anvil, standing 6″ tall in glass, with a glittering silver dagger leaning against it, both dusty. Scattered through the shelves were sculptures of animals, ranging from a few inches and a few pence to that warhorse in full armor, all properly colored and shining, standing a foot and a half tall.

A shelf of freeform sculptures sits off to one side. They aren’t of anything identifiable, just abstract renditions of color and shifting bubble-glittering hues in gentle curves. Nonetheless, they are truly spectacular.

Inside an ebony case is a picture of an island with a large lake in the middle and several mountain ranges. The mountains are properly colored as are the forests, the plains, the mountaintops, and the water around the island. It is Hârn: a map of the entire island, done entirely in glass, a yard across in contour, and in full color.
