Location

Pentagram Point: Spiritus / Home — the Series' Home Anchor

Book I

Novel Relevance: - The series' 'home' anchor — Book I opens here. Historically fitting: the one corner of Gaul that resists Frankish conquest even after Clovis's total victory elsewhere. Timeline: - 462 AD ceded to Visigoths; 507 AD Vouillé; 508 AD Carcassonne defense preserves it; 8th c. eventual conquest.

Sources: - Standard Visigothic-history surveys; ties to the Battle of Vouillé dossier.
