Weep, Twelfthmoon

The city of Weep became isolated from the outside world 200 years ago. The people of Weep always forbid outsiders, called “faranji.” This isolation lasts until Eril-Fane invites the scholars of Zosma and surrounding cities to fix the problem of the citadel that floats above the city, stealing Weep’s sky and leaving it in shadow. Lazlo calls Weep the Unseen City. The Mesarthim Letha, goddess of oblivion, stole true name of the city from everybody’s memories. The people of Weep speak a language which Lazlo calls Unseen. The population of Weep is close to 100,000.

The majority of events that take place in Weep in this novel occur during Twelfthmoon. Taylor refers to time in this fantasy realm according to the number of moons.
