Soon he was able to convince her, however, that he was descended from the Child Crusaders of the 13th century, of noble birth-in fact, a Duke of Lorraine. His ancestors, she recalled, had sailed out of Marseilles in gulafres and dromons. Orena thought of a thousand centuries budding and withering, and called him Octans.
