Jorith

"The Sorrow of Odin the Goth."

In 372, the Wanderer, addressing young Alawin, refers to:

"'...that kindred which sprang from your father's father's mother Jorith...and myself.'" (p. 340)

In 300, when Carl notices a maiden with unbound golden hair and large heaven-blue eyes bearing mead to Winnithar the Wisentslayer, Winnithar's wife, Salvalindis, tells him:

"'You meet our oldest child...our daughter Jorith.'" (p. 350)

We will read about the generations between Jorith and Alawin. "The Sorrow..." is the family saga of the Time Patrol series.

Of course, if he visits through the generations they're going to take him for a God. Nothing else would make sense to them.

Kaor, Mr. Stirling!

Either that or they would think Carl to be a sorcerer.

Ad astra! Sean

Sean: no, sorcerers weren't immortal/ageless. Gods were.
