        Because I heard Sandy Petersen say so at a con (GC IV, I think). Orlanth wnet there to gain knowledge; he emerged with the necessary knowledge/data/inspiration to perform the LBQ. Presumably that's why Harmast went there.....

        It is worth noting that Hwarin Dalthippa also succeeded there, and evidently went back there to 'retire from the world'.
