So, basically, "Fear and Loathing in Casino Town" and "Debbie Does Durengard"? Along with "Life Among the Vadeli"?

BTW, is there an epic like Gilgamesh, but based on the Solar Emperor who left, and came back as a dragon, during the late EWF period? Or would referring to him be Thoughtcrime, like the Orlanthi with "the other Son [of Umath], whose name we have forgotten"?
