There isn't enough Tannhaeuser (or other "King below the Mountain" stuff around.

However, Whitewall is not Tarkalor's city any more than say Sun Dome Temple, Bagnot or Queen's post.

BTW: Tarkalor was a Vingkot-rite High King when he fell at the Battle of Grizzly Peak, right? Might this deliver some message to Broyan?

It sure takes getting into the mood, but then it's quite worth the while. Wagner is one of the major authors of 19th century German mythic themes/Heroic Fantasy-precursors, having written the text parts for his operas as well (unlike most other composers).
