I don't think that meaning is equal to what Efendi intended. He didn't use
the term Einherjar (Sorry, Efendi), but some place where dead good warriors
go afterlife...

Efendi has a different opinion about the cause of Ban.

Personally, I like and support your idea. But I don't think Efendi and Trotsky will agree with you. They are a Loskalmi in a certain level.

Gundreken let or made his predecessor retire to a farm. (to Efendi) I expect Efendi's reaction to such conspiracy theory.....

Maybe Efendi didn't pay enough attention to hero Jonat.

Efendi might agree with you about Black Hralf.
Personally, I favor Peter's opinion and recall my unfinished campaign of Vormai pilgrimage to Loskalm, as you might expect, they all go to a tragic end as some RW japanese christians did in 16C.....
To Efendi:
Maybe you want to talk some about your setting and the difference of yours,
Peter's and Trotsky's.... It might be a chance....
