Well, Aeolians have the Western blessings to work with. If you're a basic Aeolian peasant, you get more basic goodies for all parts of your life... a +2 or so to everything you would normally do all week. It's not as good for heroics, but for being a normal schmo, you lead a better life. There are advantages to wizardry. And Aeolians are better at synchretism... a new Saint can come from ANY pantheon of gods, whether it was originally a troll god, a light god or a storm god. the Essence versions can't fight each other... the community remains harmonious.

I don't know. I find those Aeolians fascinating.
