Avalon

Our sources of information about the planet Avalon are:

"The Problem of Pain," human beings and Ythrians explore Gray/Avalon;

"Wingless," both races colonize the Avalonian islands;

"Rescue on Avalon," both races colonize the Avalonian continent;

The People Of The Wind, both races resist the Terran Empire to remain in the Domain of Ythri;

The Earth Book Of Stormgate, an Avalonian Ythrian, Hloch, collects and comments on accounts of human beings.

How much additional information about Avalon does Hloch disclose? I was about to start summarizing the information to be gleaned from Hloch's notes between the stories but instead will retire and return to the topic tomorrow or shortly.

Also, if you have read the van Rijn story, "The Master Key," how much do you remember about it? Some people bring a problem about an alien race to van Rijn in his penthouse and he solves it for them? Maybe also something about the nature of the problem? There are several rich background details that are probably forgotten. One function of this blog is to celebrate such details by reminding us of them and first I must remind myself by careful rereading.
