Any more details here Ian?
I'd like to use Garan in my Tentacles scenario. Sources or ideas?
>What 'little light' does the lighthouse here
represent? Who is the little light? My vote is for
Garan the 'star lover of Serias'. Could this be from
whence Garan shone >in the darkness? Kallyr might work
well with Garan with the star-lover associations.
Jane's objections to any Garan-Kallyr association noted (though I didn't mean to imply a Garan-Kallyr association, more that there could be an echo of that relationship in Garan and Serias).
From the DP:LoT glossary
Garanvuli: One of the Star Tribes of the Vingkotlings. The tribe lived in the lands around the Syphon River
and a slightly longer version of an entry in the glossary (lost in page count cuts):
Star Tribes: Janard �Lastralgor� and Jorganos the Archer were among the Winter Sons and founded the Lastralgortelli and the Jorganostelli who lived along the Oslir River. After Vingkot�s death at Stormfall these tribes were shattered and broken, and their survivors joined the Star Tribes. Liorn the Young, husband of Deleen Kodigsdottir, founded the Liornvuli, the �Island Tribe,� from the remnants of the Lastralgortelli, who lived along the Oslir. The Stravuli, founded by Stravul the Lean from the remnants of the Jorganostelli, lived around the Upper Oslir, the Dragonspine, and Grizzly Peak. The Orvantes lived south of the Orgorvaltes, around modern Volsaxiland and the Stormwalk Mountains. Garan the star lover of Serias founded the Garanvuli Tribe, centered at Iliabervor, in the lands around the Syphon River.
Jansholm and Jan Ironclad are also connected to the Garavuli in DP:LoT
IIRC most of the survivors at the dawn had the protection of some light during the darkness. Elmal, shining atop Kero Fin, was a big one for the people of Kerofinela, but we know that there were also 'little lights' who protected people locally. What we know suggests to me that the 'Star Tribes' were protected by 'Star Captains'. Garan explicitly seems to have been a Star Captain - Stravul and Liorn may or may not have been.
Now my proposition was that the little lights would need a place to shine from, as Elmal shone from Kero Fin.
Now Garan might be a little far south, and may have shone at Iliabervor (or Seriasdora), so the star here could be someone else (Orvant perhaps), but I think its possile that Garan shone from here, even though his lover's tribe was further south. But nothing hard and fast here, just toying with ideas.
