The Rhine story of 'Riza' is filled with that particular sort of Christian magic that comes close to being blasphemous.
All in Folklore

In 'The Templars of Lahneck' we get a story of the conflict between the Knights Templar and the Church.
Ep. 1037 - Legends of the Rhine - The Emperor Wenzel

Today on the podcast we have the final part of our story of love, honor, and duty in Wilhelm Ruland's 'The Brothers'.
Ep. 1035 - Legends of the Rhine - The Brothers, Pt. 1
'The Brothers' is our first tale back from vacation and it's a love story unlike any told in "Legends of the Rhine" thus far. Although I'm not sure that's such a good thing.

This week we're catching back up with Wilhelm Ruland's "Legends of the Rhine".

Ep. 1050 - Legends of the Rhine - St. George's Linden
We end the week with the saddest tale of love and loss I've ever told on the podcast - 'St. George's Linden'.
