This story later became Chapter 8 of Majipoor Chronicles.
The dream-speaker Tisana plays a small but pivotal role in Lord Valentine's Castle, being the first to openly proclaim Valentine's true identity. Here we get an episode from early in her life concerning the training and testing undergone by dream-speakers on Majipoor.
