Adzel's Home Planet

Poul Anderson, Satan's World IN Anderson, David Falkayn: Star Trader (Riverdale, NY, 2010), pp. 329-598, Chapter VIII.

Most Wodenites are "...primitive hunters..." (p. 414) Few leave their planet. Adzel's memories of home are not of a civilization:

wide prairies of Zatlakh;
hoof beats like earthquakes;
wind from ghost-blue mountains on the horizon;
night time fires beneath the aurora;
old songs, dances and kinship. (p. 417)

Adzel has done well to adjust so completely to a technological civilization.
