-Poul Anderson, Satan's World IN Anderson, David Falkayn: Star Trader (Riverdale, NY, March 2010), pp. 329-598 AT XVII, p. 506.
"The gray stone manor house stood a little apart from a thorp of lesser dwellings and other buildings. Here was the origin of the Falkayn domain, in timber and iron; though its enterprises had since spread planetwide, here was still its heart."
-Poul Anderson, Mirkheim IN Anderson, Rise of the Terran Empire (Riverdale, NY, March 2011), pp. 1-291 AT XVI, p. 215.
Old soldiers in a windy castle and a manor house at the heart of planetwide enterprises sound as if they belong to different historical eras although each seems right at its particular place in the narrative. Poul Anderson's conception of the Falkayn ancestral home changes between novels.
