[grovels in respect]
This does explain to how a militant Brown Elf Kingdom in Vralos managed to hold out against the the Elf Kingdom of Enkloso during Aldrya's Woe of the First Age without getting thoroughly trashed every winter. I'm sold!

An intriguing possibility just occurred to me. Somebody (Kevin?) commented a long time back that the KoW being mounted was unusual that it came out of the black forest. And now Perfe seems to be the centre of the KoW's ops. Perhaps the size of the Black Forest on the map today is larger than it was when the ban ended through the Elf Reforestation efforts expanding where there are no longer any peasants? The Elves would not driving out the Kingdom of War but expanding into the uninhabitable wasteland created by the KoW.
