The Twenty-Third Psalm

Orion Shall Rise, CHAPTER EIGHT.

Talence Donal Ferlay's sudden death reminded us of Psalm 90. At his funeral, the coffin slides past a door engraved with Psalm 23. Coffin and contents are laser-cremated and the ashes are ejected from Skyholm into the stratosphere, an appropriate apotheosis for an Aerogen.

We note every Biblical reference, numerous though they are. See here and here.

Kaor, Paul!

And Talence Donal Ferlay's death was important because the college of electors which picks the governing Captains of Skyholm from among the Talences had been expected to almost unanimously elect Donal as the next chief of state when the reigning Captain died. His death meant it was not clear which of the eligible Talences would be elected.

Ad astra! Sean
