Interim Post

Mainly posting to say laptop definitely failing so maybe sporadic contact for a while.

Van Rijn worked with a woman from Esperance, the Terran attack on the Domain of Ythri was launched from there and Aycharaych's men posed as Esperancian spies on Diomedes so the planet of peace has been mentioned in different ways in three periods of the Technic History.

Ivar Frederiksen was the nephew-in-law of Hugh McCormac, Firstman of Ilion on Aeneas. Kossara Vymezal is the niece-in-law of Bodin Miyatovich, Gospodar of Dennitza. Both planets are, at the time, close to breaking away from the Terran Empire under Aycharaych's influence but this does not mean that Poul Anderson repeats himself. The two planets and their civilizations differ significantly.

The Emperor believes that Dennitzans are fomenting revolution on Diomedes but does not know whether the Gospodar sent them. The Gospodar knows that he did not send anyone but someone else on Dennitza might have... There must be real world situations like this that never get cleared up.

On Dennitza, the Lyubisha River has forged a canyon through the Kazan ringwall. I think that more information on the Dennitzan environment will be a good idea.
