Jorun's Home Planet

"The Chapter Ends."

The planet is at the Galactic center where "...uncountable hosts of suns..." (p. 198) are visible;

it is a "grim world," niggardly by contrast with the life-covered Earth;

it has moors, crags and spindrift seas;

its features are also described as "...hills and tundras and great empty seas..." (p. 211);

because everyone controls cosmic energies, there is no need to live close to others;

from his home, Jorn sees only moors;

some nights are very dark because there are no visible lights on the planetary surface although (see above) there are many stars in the sky.

I would like it because I appreciate solitude and, at the same time, rapid communication and transportation mean that Jorun has easy access to company and to civilization.
