The problem with this is that the Vadeli would reject materialistic philosophy. Which is quite a leap given that other sources indicate they are atheistic sorcerers (which rules out theism and shamanism and probably mysticism).

I think we can take it as given that the Vadeli are Logical (Missing Lands includes "the Vadeli Smile" which indicates that Vadeli appearing 'relaxed and cheerful' is a rare event) although a good definition of Logical remains to be thrashed out. Are we talking about Pointy Earism or simply rigid adherence to a particular philosophical doctrine? For example if the Brithini logical doctrines was revealed to be something along the lines of Plato's republic, would an Epicurean qualify as being Logical?
