Thank you both very much.

Then, when did Lung arise from hibernation (i've heard -or better: read- somewhere, that
he definitely hats
communism. Is that correct?)?
And about Harlequin again - he is equipped with the armor of Richard the Lionhearted by
Dunkelzahn - iirc from
about the 12th century. But he is also provided with Excalibur, which origins in the
Athus-Saga (should be
somewhat earlier - 450 AD, even if that's subject to scientific arguement).

Is there anywhere a word, that Harlequin HAS used this legendary weaponry himself before?

Greets,


Drachir

IIRC, Harlequin was bequeathed both the armour and the sword in Dunk's
will. IMHO, It was not because he was those people (although there is a
tom dowd short story, I think, that has him making an off handed comment
about it "still fitting"), but because Dunk was passing the torch of
protector from the horrors onto him. Excalibur doesnt actually exist, I
think (again there was a comment in the will about him being given it as
soon as someone finds it, a bit tounge in cheek), it was the symbol that
was important..although now I think of it, dunkelzahn as King
Arthur? yipes! :-)

Late 11th, I think. In any case, that means it should probably consist of a set
of mail rusted into a lump of old iron ;)

If Harlequin was those people, then the question has to be asked why
Dunklezahn got his talons on the items in between, and why he chose to give
them back again.
