*The name may refer to two different uses of the phrase. The Dwarven king of Erebor, from J.R.R. Tolkein's ''The Lord of The Rings'' series, was titled '''King Under The Mountain'''. Another real-life use of the phrase, or a similar one, is '''King In The Mountain''', a common european folklore belief that a legendary or mythical hero lies asleep beneath a mountain awaiting the day they shall reawaken and return to lead their people, notable King Arthur and Merlin of British Arthurian legend, Emperor Charlemagne of France, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa of Germany, and the Aztec hero-god Montezuma. In this second interpretation, the crystal would symbolise a relic intentionally left there to be recovered eons later for an important use. | *The name may refer to two different uses of the phrase.
