I'm also looking at the idea of the familial groups each having a great journal of the deeds of the ancestors, told as a constantly growing novel stretching back the 6000 years since the planet's colonisation. Each person will hope to have a place in the annals of his family. There will also be the Great Epic of Toshanden, overseen by a specialised monastic order, which compiles the greatest deeds of Toshanden's people.

Sounds cool! Will you be writing some passages from this Epic then? Btw, it's "annals", not "anals"

...always thought it was a stupid language anyway...
But yes, I could well be doing a few odds and ends from the various books. The best thing about it is that it can be used to give a first-person perspective on almost everything within the sector, and a good bit beyond.
I'm also working that everything in the records would be "true". Anything presnted here as a fact is a fact, although there is speculation and second-hand information which is presented as such.
