Rich, did you find it strange to have a story called "Lorelei of the Red Mist" and there is no Lorelei mentioned anywhere in it?
I presume that the editors, did a lot of messing with this story, besides finding a new author to take it over to get it published and just picked a title out of the hat, saying 'whew!' that's done. But i wonder who Lorelei was meant to be ?....

You know how some musicians name their guitars? Well, Lorelei is Romna's harp - yeah, that's got to be it.

Thanks Rich

And that is a great insight: a harp named Laurelei !!
