History Recounted

 

In "Wings of Victory," human explorers discover Ythri.

In The People Of The Wind, the Terran Empire wages war against the Domain of Ythri and tries to annex its planet, Avalon.

In The Day Of Their Return, the discovery and the war are historical events which Ivar recounts to Fraina because Mikkal and they have just encountered Erannath of Stormgate Choth on Avalon. 

Thus, the influence of this choth continues beyond the compilation of its Earth Book, in which we read "Wings of Victory," although unfortunately Stormgate is not mentioned after The Day Of Their Return.

Kaor, Paul!

I also recall it was not the Empire's goal to destroy the Domain, but to finally put an end to disputes and clashes Ythri seemed unwilling or unable to come to terms with Terra on resolving. The Empire fought a cabnet war for limited goals.

Ad astra! Sean
