Description: Playing again with Holy Roman Empire and the legend of his boss, Frederick Barbarossa: King in the Mountain



Legend says that Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa didn't really die in the Third Crusade, but he's actually sleeping in a cave in the Kyffhäuser mountain, and one day he'll wake and return the Holy Roman Empire to its former glory--on the day when the ravens stop flying around the mountain. Also with Barbarossa in the cave is a boy whom he sends to check and see if the ravens are still there, so I put Holy Roman Empire as the boy, waiting and wishing for things to get better.

Also, the German Empire was apparently so convinced of the HRE=Germany theory that they built a monument using the Barbarossa legend just to prove this point.
