Tchaikovsky elder race6/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Her arrival awakens Nyr from hibernation, and she appeals to him and a promise he made to her ancestor to help her. ![]() A demon has appeared in the frontier near her kingdom, representing a growing problem for her people, and she takes it upon herself to visit the wizard in his tower. That's how Lynesse Fourth Daughter knows of him: Nyrgoth Elder, a powerful wizard who can wield magical spells. ![]() His task is to observe and not interfere - rules akin to that of the Federation's Prime Directive are at play here - but he is known by the people of the planet, and at one point, helped them with a problem caused by some rampant technology, and went down in legend as a sorcerer. That seems to have happened here on Sophos 4, where Nyr Illim Tevitch, a lone anthropologist from the Earth Explorer Corps, has been left behind to study the progression of the inhabitants who've been left on their own for hundreds of years. This novel feels like it could take place in that same world: Tchaikovsky alludes to an Earth that colonized space, and which might have encountered some sort of disaster, leaving some of those human colonies to wither away and regress, technologically. ![]()
