Nornagest And Starkadh

OK. Nornagest and Starkadh are two pre-Andersonian legendary figures. In Anderson's The Boat Of A Million Years, they have heard of each other. Nornagest tracks down Starkadh and confirms that they are both immortals although Starkadh refuses to join forces. (His idea of cooperation would have been along the lines of: "I'll conquer one half of the world and you conquer the other half.") Both are introduced in Chapter V of Boat and both have died by the end of that chapter. They do not meet any other immortals. Thus, Chapter V is independent of the rest of the novel. From VI onward, we are back with continuing characters who will come together in the twentieth century and beyond.

Onward and upward.
