If I may. About this part: ""Bergentrückung"'s translation is heavily debated among members. Most believe it translates to "King in the Mountain", but others believe that it actually translated to "Mountain Rapture"."

I've studied German for 10+ years, and there is no way Bergentrückung could be German for King in the moutain. It's composed of Berg-, mountain [source], and -Entrückung, rapture/entrancement [source]. King in the mountain would be König im Berg. There's no "debate" to be had here (unless there's another language where Bergentrückung is a word that exists, but I sincerely doubt it).

You can't really 'believe x translates to y' just because y sounds cool. Translation may not be an exact science when it comes to phrasing and style... but still, and especially when translating single words (unless it's for a concept such as Sehnsucht that doesn't really have an equivalent in other languages and must be translated according to context), you can't just pick a word and say 'I believe this means that', when looking meanings up in a reliable dictionary, or asking native (in this case, German) speakers, would provide you with reliable factual answers.
