About Dennitza

(This is an image of the Russian city of Kazan.)

I am sold on Poul Anderson's fictional planet of Dennitza, particularly that planet's much-linked Kazan, Obala and Zorkagrad Old Town. It is good, when rereading A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows, to find as if for the first time some Dennitzan detail that generates a blog post like the blue sky over the Kazan in the previous post. I have not yet reread as far as Flandry's and Kossara's arrival on Dennitza so I hope to find more such details but will in any case reread the rest of the novel.

Kaor, Paul!

I had completely forgotten there was a Russian city named Kazan! I think it was conquered by Ivan the Terrible and thus came under Russian rule.
