(urth) Father Inire as Dionysus

[Sergei SOLOVIEV]

The ships in the citadel are landers - it is noticed several times 
during the
visits of Horn/Silk. They cannot go to the stars. They may
remain from the epoch when humankind travelled to the stars, but
only one true starcrosser - Whorl - is really described. But there
surely had to be more (and Quasar - one of them) at this old glorious
epoch. By the way, the Neighbours should be familiar with star travel,
otherwise they would not mention the Whorl as starcrosser so casually.
