Other characteristics: an odd binary-star system [what is this?],
orbital peculiarities [what is this?], slow, complex orbit
[I understand slow, but what does Lysos mean by "complex
orbit"? Is she talking about some long-term period?], UV excess
when the dwarf companion is near [duh, as I repeat all the time,
this doesn't make sense]. The purpose was hiding - from whom?

Why "Northern Hemisphere"? Maia observed Sappho above
the dark prairie; and Maia's window looks _south_.
There's also an Anvil constellation (p.217); since there's a
Hammer constellation (GS7, p.162) I may guess how they relate to
each other. Probably they aren't contiguous constellations,
as Maia observed the Hammer some hours after Sunset but before
Midnight and the observation of the Anvil was an indication that
it was past Midnight - and both observations are about 25 days
apart. Could they lie in opposite directions?

We also get the name of another founder, Perseph.
- There's a Lighthouse Sanctuary in Port Sanger (p.205)
- A Naroin quote: "Piss on the world, or it'll piss on you" (p.209)
- Maia was 100 meters above ground. Uh? How could she climb
those endless stairs after being drugged? (p.216)
- The characters in the "Classic" book are Reie and Naia.
