Historical Interactions

When, in "The Trouble Twisters," Nicholas van Rijn founds a trade pioneer crew consisting of -

the Hermetian, David Falkayn;
the Wodenite, Adzel;
the Cynthian, Chee Lan -

- many strands of the Technic History are drawn together:

an early story, "Wings of Victory," mentioned Hermes, Woden and Cynthia;

van Rijn has featured in five works, including one novel in which he meets the future Grand Duchess of Hermes;

Falkayn has starred in two stories;

Adzel has starred in one story which also mentioned Cynthia.

Later, Falkayn will pull together more future historical strands by his interactions with the Ythrians and with other less prominent species introduced earlier in the History.

Adzel's first three appearances are in:

"How To Ethnic In One Easy Lesson," introduced by Hloch in The Earth Book Of Stormgate;
"The Trouble Twisters," introduced by Urwain the Wide-Faring in The Trouble Twisters;
"Day of Burning," introduced by Hloch in the Earth Book.

The Technic Civilization Saga, compiled by Hank Davis, presents the entire History in chronological order, preserving the disparate introductions.
