Cadwal Chronicles #2-3
Эксе и Древняя Земля / Трой
На окраине созвездия Прядь Мирцеи, в далекой галактической ветви Персеид находится система Пурпурной Розы, состоящая из трех звезд — Лорки, Синга и Сирены. Вокруг Сирены вращается достопримечательная планета Кадуол, с незапамятных времен защищенная от колонизации и эксплуатации уставом открывшего ее, но уже практически не существующего земного Общества натуралистов. Административное управление Кадуола находится на станции Араминта, где молодой человек по имени Глоуэн Клатток пытается определить, какую карьеру он может сделать в иерархическом, связанном множеством ограничений обществе Кадуола.
Кадуол — планета необычайной красоты. Для того, чтобы защитить ее, Общество натуралистов учредило Хартию, ограничивающую количество поселенцев — служащих Заповедника, обеспечивающих соблюдение его законов. Эти законы запрещают строительство других городов, добычу ископаемых и развитие другой промышленности. Только шестеро «агентов», их прямые потомки и их персонал имеют право постоянно проживать на планете: их основная функция заключается в предотвращении переселения на планету других людей, хотя туристам позволяют временно посещать особые заповедные приюты, позволяющие любоваться ландшафтами и любопытными образцами местной фауны.
At the remote end of Mircea's Wisp, far out on the galaxy's Perseid Arm, is the Purple Rose System, containing the three stars Lorca, Sing and Syrene. Around Syrene swings the spectacular planet Cadwal, which the now defunct Naturalist Society of Earth long ago chartered to forever protect from exploitation. Cadwal is administered from Araminta Station — where young Glawen Clattuc wonders what the future may hold for him in the hierarchic, constrained society of Cadwal.
Cadwal is a planet of extraordinary beauty. To protect it, the "Naturalist Society" has set up a Charter which allows only limited settlement on the planet in order to enforce the laws of the Conservancy. These laws forbid extensive human habitations, mining and other exploitation activities. Only six "Agents" and their staff are allowed to reside permanently on the planet: their main function is to prevent other humans from establishing residence, although tourists are allowed in specially designed lodges, overlooking sites of natural beauty and interest.
