Eighteen Beginnings

I am staggered by how many beginnings we have found.

Beginnings of:

the Technic History itself
human-Ythrian interactions
the van Rijn and Polesotechnic League series
Jim Ching's career
David Falkayn's career
Emil Dalmady's entrepreneurship
the trader team
Merseian-Terran conflict
the terminal decline of the League
colonization of the Hesperian Islands on Avalon
colonization of the Coronan continent on Avalon
the Terran Empire
Dominic Flandry's career
the Captain Flandry series
Diana Crowfeather's career
alliances during the Long Night
new wealth in the Commonalty period

And we would like to see the beginnings of:

the Solar Commonwealth
the Polesotechnic League
van Rijn's career
the Allied Planets
the Commonalty

Some important events have to happen between instalments.

Kaor, Paul!

There has also been discussions here on problems like the decay of the League starting too soon after "Esau." I've suggested that decay should have started becoming plain 25 years after Old Nick reached age 80. But that would lead to things like whether even van Rijn would have the strength needed at age 105 to be as energetic as we see him in MIRKHEIM.

Ad astra! Sean
