I don't know if Joerg had noticed, but this ties in very well with some
of his own writings about later events in Heortland, as found on his Web
site.
King Owain:

Of course, it all goes Horribly Wrong, but it does look as if Owain was trying to return Belintar's favour. If he'd suceeded, which of them do you think would have been in charge?
