29 So it was Lord Change's ships turned about and headed for Peepi. The
Alliance was formed. Now the rebuilding began, and Ka's words proved
true. Shieldrina and Lord Change were wed, and she bore him eight sons;
a holy lot, who, after their father's time, continued his
Great Service. By what means they came to be, no one knew, or, did
anyone question. They were the sons of Change, and the carriers of his
seed. That was all anyone needed.
30 The societies of Peepi grew and spread, taking on many forms, some
groups surviving, some disappearing, until they were as they were when
The Goddens came.
