At The Edge Of Space (Hanan Rebellion) - Plot & Excerpts
The guests and witnesses were scarcely more numerous than what the law required. Of Osanef, there was Han t’Osanef u Mur, his wife Ia t’Nefak, and Bel. Of the house of Ilev there was Ulmar t’Ilev ul Imetan and his wife Tian t’Elas e Ben, cousin to Nym, and their son Cam and their new daughter-in-law, Yanu t’Pas. They were all people Mim knew well, and Osanef and Ilev, Kurt suspected, were among a very few nemet houses that could be found reconciled to the marriage on religious grounds. If even these had scruples about the question, they had the grace still to smile and to love Mim and to treat her chosen husband with great courtesy. The ceremony was in the rhmei, where Kurt first knelt before old Hef and swore that the first two sons of the union, if any, would be given the name h’Elas as chani to the house, so that Hef’s line could continue. And Kta swore also to the custom of iquun, by which Kta would see to the begetting of the promised heirs, if necessary. Then Nym rose and with palms toward the light of the phusmeha invoked the guardian spirits of the Ancestors of Elas.
