I can't believe I never looked at Orlanth's Ring in relation to the God
Learners. You have renewed my faith in the nature of Orlanth's Ring! So,
the only missing piece is determinging when it disappeared again during
the Third Age. And the defeat at Castle Blue is, of course, the obvious
candidate. Perhaps the "wound in Orlanth" referred to is not _just_ the
Red Moon itself, but also the missing Ring in the sky.
