Another View Of Falkayn Bay

The People Of The Wind, VII, p. 516.

Daniel Holm, Second Marchwarden, looks out:

beautiful day;
autumn breeze;
salt odors;
glittering bay;
Laura (the sun) and heaven;
brilliant gardens;
garden scents;
blue haze;
distant hills;
wings overhead;
lost on Holm -

- who must stay as backup while First Marchwarden Ferune leads the space defense against the Terran attack.

Ferune will die and Holm will become First Marchwarden.

Kaor, Paul!

Considering how many of the human names in the Lauran system were taken from the Arthurian legends, I realized just now the SUN of that system was not given a name taken from the Arthurian mythos, which is a bit surprising. Why wasn't the sun named after King Arthur, as the sun CHARLEMAGNE was named after that Emperor/legendary figure in "The Queen of Air and Darkness"?
