Behind The Scenes
Lough Ne'halin translates as "lake without salt", presumably playing off the Lake of Tears, associated with purgatory in the old death mechanics. Similarly, Castle Anwyn appears partly based on St. Patrick's Purgatory, located on Lough Derg. Noralgar is likely an anagram for Ragnorak, possibly including a portmanteau with Nagual, the mythological term for shapeshifting pumas such as Marliese from the Estrion story. Likewise, the NPC Norandar in the Castle Anwyn story was clearly playing off Noralgar forest, which may refer to the Noranda region of Perth, Australia, an allusion to "The Shadow out of Time" which is the subtext for The Graveyard. The rumor section is a Loch Ness Monster joke, but might refer to the Jimmy Carter "killer rabbit" incident. The Rabbit of Caerbannog (Welsh: "castle with turrets") from Monty Python is in the castle barracks.
