Devod (defod [Cymraeg])

A ceremonial enclosure used by Tellers to conduct Addewin rituals for pilgrims who want to hear the stories of the Henin, Addewid, the creation of the Cavnod and of those who live in Addewid.
Typically, a Teller will arrange for a Charmsee to build the walls around the Devod. Since the walls around the Defod are not build with doors, a Charmsee will be needed to open the walls for pilgrims at the beginning and end of a ritual, which means that pilgrims are not allowed to enter or leave while a ceremony in progress.

Direction

On Earth, the cardinal points used to denote direction are:

North	the direction of the North Pole, or the North Star
East	in the direction of the rising Sun.
South	in the direction of the South Pole, or the Southern Cross constellation.
West	in the direction of the setting Sun.

But on Addewid, there is no Sun, nor are there any polar regions, nor are there any constellations. Humans, however, needed some means of denoting direction, so they resorted to visual cues present on Addewid, and these cues needed to be present throughout the areas of where Humans would find themselves ( the Ardal area of Addewid). There were two types of visual indicators that met this criteria:

The colors in the sky, beyond the Cluay Ring.
The disturbances on the Biola Sea in the vacinity of the four Munev.

Although the Brenli are spectacular to watch, and they are visible throughout the Ardal, there are simply too many shades of color, and not enough clearly set apart regions that would serve as cardinal points of reference, especially since the Brenli shift slightly in hue as a reflection fo the associated Henin's mood.

That left the Munev as the primary points of directional reference, with Munev Goleth, with respect to Inniscren (the center of the Ardal), being the direction that Humans consider to be North. ( Addewid Overview Map )
