The battle of bards and the mystery game

[Kumpelkante]

Hey Guy,

this is my third entry for the CCCXI.

It is based on the Sängerkrieg (minstrel contest). Short summary: On the Wartburg a contest between six minstrels took place in the early 13th century. This contest then lead to the "Rätselspiel" (mystery game), in wich the sorceror Klingsor(really his name) summoned a demon, which was bannished by Wolfram von Eschenbach's songs.

I used the SÄngersaal (Hall of Minstrels) as a source, but decided take a bit of an artistic freedom, because a faithful adaption might have looked a bit toooo colorful.

now to the pictures:
