Concepts

  • "Ah! Wretched Me" is based on the "Life is a Dream" by Calderon de la Barca.
  • "Tilt at Windmills" is based on Don Quixote de La Mancha.
  • "Mio Cid" is inspired by the legend of the Spanish hero El Cid.
  • "Alaric de Marnac" is an adaptation of Paul Naschy's latest book of the same title.
  • "Love From the Stone" tells of the legend of the lovers of Teruel.
  • "Gadir" is inspired by the first city founded in Europe, Cádiz.
  • "Ritual Fire Dance" is based on Danza ritual del fuego by Spanish composer Manuel de Falla.

gollark: We've seen that governments are often not very effective or competent.
gollark: I think there are significantly larger issues than climate change going on anyway. Such as, how do you make governance actually work well? If you can solve that many of the other things follow.
