@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore When will all these sleeping heroes awaken? If the stars aren't right now, they never will be.
Frankly, I don't trust _any_ of these people to actually fight on the side of goodness.
True story: In one (sadly aborted) modern fantasy #ttrpg campaign I had run, one of the villainous groups was an offshoot of the #Reichsbürger who wanted to awaken one of these "sleeping emperors" in order to "return Germany to glory".
