Another Avalonian Family

"Wingless" is the last story:


"...that Judith Dalmady/Lundgren wrote for Morgana.  Though she was then in her high old age, the memories upon which she was drawing were fresh.
"-Hloch of the Stormgate Choth
"The Earth Book of Stormgate"
-Poul Anderson, "Wingless" IN Anderson, Rise Of The Terran Empire (Riverdale, NY, 2011), pp. 293-306 AT p. 294.

I asked here how this passage connected with another about the Baburites. The answer is that the SSL factor who outwitted the Baburites was Emil Dalmady, the father of Judith. She and other children of Dalmady moved to Avalon with the Falkayns.

Thus, we know of Falkayns, Holms and, by implication at least, maybe more Avalonian lineages - Lundgrens and any other Dalmady descendants. Hloch's introductions add a new narrative layer, linking Dalmadies to Avalon and James Ching to Catawrayannis.

Kaor, Paul!

And besides being attracted by the philosophy and goals enunciated by David Falkayn, Avalon was simply more COMFORTABLE for living on than cold, frigid, remote Altai. I seriously doubt Emil Dalmady or any of his children ever went back to even visit Altai.
