Many Informants

What a wealth of fictional historical informants in recent posts:

Minamoto

Hloch

Vance Hall

Noah Arkwright

Urwain

Le Matelot

- but there are many more such Technic Historians, e.g.:

an unnamed narrator is present when van Rijn solves the problem of the planet Cain which is recounted to him by the narrator's friend's son and the son's ensign;

Donvar Ayeghen, President of the Galactic Archaeological Society, introduces Admiral John Henry Reeves' account of Manuel Argos, Founder of the Terran Empire.

The following examples are all in Hloch's Earth Book Of Stormgate:

Maeve Downey's autobiography, Far Adventure, describes Aram Turekian's discovery on Ythri;

Peter Berg meets an unnamed narrator/letter writer on Lucifer and confides in him about his experience with Ythrians on Gray/Avalon;

James Ching's journal includes an early account of Adzel;

two chapters of AA Craig's Tales Of The Great Frontier inform us about van Rijn on Earth and in space and about Jack Birnam on Avalon;

three of Judith Dalmady/Lundgren's stories originally published in the Avalonian periodical, Morgana, inform us about her father's interview with his employer, van Rijn, concerning his work on Suleiman, about Falkayn's grandson's experience with Ythrians on Avaloin and about other merchants on Ivanhoe;

a historical novelist describes van Rijn's struggle to survive on Diomedes;

three narratives specially written for the Earth Book by Christopher Holm/Arinnian, including one co-written by Hloch, inform us about van Rijn's first trader team (Falkayn, Adzel and Chee Lan) on Merseia and Tametha, about van Rijn and the team at Mirkheim and about unscrupulous traders on Trillia and Paradox.
