Heroes Of Dennitza

Yovan Matavuly led the Founders to Dennitza.
Toman Obilich killed wild Vladimir on the Glacier.
Gwyth sailed through storms on the Black Ocean.
Stefan Miyatovich cast back reavers from Dennitza in the Night Years.
Bodin Miyatovich led a raid that must be remembered in the prose of Poul Anderson because Andrei Simich is no longer alive to celebrate it in a poem.

The Night Years are the Time of Troubles after the Solar Commonwealth, not the (later) Long Night after the Terran Empire.

Stefan Miyatovich, ancestor of Bodin, played the same role on Dennitza as Brian McCormac, ancestor of Hugh, did on Aeneas. See here.

Terra has now entered its regular short night so I will discontinue blogging until maybe breakfast.

Kaor, Paul!

And unlike Hugh McCormac, Bodin Miyatovich RESISTED being pushed into rebelling against the Empire or trying to usurp the Throne.

Working on the second draft of a new article. I hope to be ready to send it to you by Friday or Saturday.
