One of the fun things about the scavenger books so far is how it provides context for some of the things that happen in the 28th century portal future:
When asgard 6 were in new york, playdon said in one of his lessons that there had been a series of fires in the city - which ended up being the firestorm that caused the alliance to leave new york
At some point in the main trilogy (i'm like 90% sure it was during jarra's eden dig site tour) she points out a blue flying lizard from danae and explains that no one knows any more why it had been brought to earth - they were brought to keep the falling star population in check
jarra's aunt, seanna tell morrath, was likely named after sean donnelly!!!
There's a scene at the end of the drago 2781 sequence where drago and jaxon have a meeting with clan leader justina. I don't remember the scene very well because i've only read that series once and i didn't have any idea what it was referring to at the time, but they meet somewhere in new york, and they read a plaque that talks about the barricades, and the fights between the people in the settlement, and the scavengers of new york. Iirc drago makes a joke about taking over the nearby settlement in honour of their ancestors.
I love how deep and complex the lore is in this series!
But also, the scene from drago 2781 (i really need to reread it when i get home) shows that the tell clan has kept their loyalty to seab donnelly and his cause, eveb somr 370 years later. In my mind this does support the theory that blaze was the one who started the blaze clan, because if it had been seamus, i don't think he would've passed on positive sentuments about his father to the next generation. Unless they meet again and makr up sometime before the end of the series. But in that case, blaze would also definitely have had a part in forming the clan, not just seamus.
