On the mirror planet, Tenalp, everything appeared topsy-turvy to non-inhabitants of Tenalp. However, to the Tenalpians, everything looked, as it should be. Visitors were confused and bewildered while Tenalpians were unaffected by their mirrored world. What looked backward to the former appeared forward to the latter.

The leader of Tenalp was Sir Ssur. Sir Ssur was a tall standing figure even by the standards of Tenalpians. Tenalpians, on average, were 8 feet, 3.5 inches tall. Sir Ssur was 9 feet, 2 inches tall. The first wife of Tenalp, Ris Nyliram, was 9 feet, 3 inches tall. The leaders of Tenalp stood very tall indeed!

Sunrise was early today on Tenalp. As the light of the three moons of the mirrored planet (Iont, Eoj and Atrebor) dwindled with its twin rising suns (Al and Llib), preparations on Tenalp were being made for the 500-year celebration of the “Yad Gnihton Taerg”; or to non-inhabitants, the “Great Nothing Day.”

The Yad Gnihton Taerg is celebrated every 500 years by the Tenalpians. The festival was started in honor of the first leader of Tenalp, Sir Gnihton. Sir Gnihton guided the Tenalpians nearly ten million years ago. Yad Gnihton Taerg is celebrated every 500 years. It is during this time that Tenalp’s twin suns and three moons orbit in the same trajectory around Tenalp.
