I'm a little slow on the uptake, so after reading the trilogy, and listening to the recorded books (and Simon Vance's masterful performance), many times, I finally had the revelation that I was reading a version of Wagner's Germanic 'Hero' mythology. Did Morgan create his version from Wagner's Ring Cycle?: Siegfried - Serigil; the Dark Court = the Walhalla gang; Wotan = Dakovash(Opera bass James Morris costumed as Wotan, a close description of Dakovash.); Rhinemaidens = Ahn Foi; and Morgan writes a quick save for Ringil/Siegfried with a brief, but critical appearance by an unnamed goddess, self-identified as the earthly source of the Ravensfriend = Erda. Morgan even refers to 'stitching' by his bookkeepers = Erda's daughters, the Norns (who are compulsive knitters).
