Against the "Whorl has been in orbit for thirty years" possibly in the text
and possibly said by Wolfe in an interview I lay down my "longfather,
culture hero of Ushas who left for the stars" entry in Lexicon Urthus
p.184 - 185.  And I would argue most vehemently that nothing is
straightforward enough in these texts to draw any definitive conclusions.
Heck, for all I know, this is some elaborate joke by Wolfe, and the real
narrator of the whole 12 book series is L. Ron Hubbard.
