My thought here -- not completely formed by any means -- is that
Orlanth is not really dead, just missing in action. The benefit is
that it seems to fit Broyan's strategy of everyone escaping from
Whitewall. If Orlanth had been killed, I'd expect lots of bodies.
He's on a walkabout. Broyan makes a sacrifice to get Orlanth
(possibly represented by Kallyr) to return. Orlanth returns at the
Battle of Iceland. Kallyr was there. Now, we just have to make some
sense of it. Any closer?
