| “ | In the deepest cellar of the Nationaltheater stands a stern image carved of Black Forest oak. Sixty years ago the Swan King staged a grandiose première of his favourite composer's new opera. It didn't go well. The stage-trappings were banished down here and forgotten. Now the image's eye has been scarred out to make him blind, and those who know of the place's power perform their harsh devotions before it. | „ |
Cellar Wotan is a Shrine to the Colonel that can be found through reconnaissance in Munich. It can only be encountered once.
