After I posted my contribution to the Horsemen's Ball--the one about the 
Defender of the Light--I realized that I left off two disclaimers that 
should have been there.

The first one is for World As Myth.  This concept was developed by 
Robert Anson Heinlein, and can be found in several of his novels, 
including _Number_of_the_Beast_, _The_Cat_Who_Walks_through_Walls_, and 
_To_Sail_Beyond_the_Sunset_.

The other is for the Order/Chaos Balance, which I lifted from L. E. 
Modesitt's (sp?) _Recluse_ series.  Read it.  It's good.

Yet again I provide authors and their publisher(s) with free 
advertising.

I suppose I could also include a Star Wars disclaimer for lightsabers 
and Luke, but I doubt it's really necessary.  After all, so many people 
use Star Wars references, including and especially in works published 
for profit, that it may as well be considered public domain.  This is 
not a legal opinion, nor do I have any legal authority whatsoever.
