I like Neil Smith's take on "Elfsense", especially the comment on how only
truly weird elves could ever leave the Forest. Fits nicely with my own
belief about seasonally-affected personalities for mature elves, which PC
elves haven't yet "grown into".
And Erik's re: worshipping Valind because the *real* gods of cold and ice
are far far worse than this Orlanthi winter-god. The Carmanians have some
*big* hangups about Winter; Finula McCaul once suggested that they suffer
from extremes of Seasonally Affected Disorder, just like all those morose
Swedes and suicidal Alaskans... :-)
