The climate of Dragon Pass thread seems to suggest that the wind doesn't blow the same way everywhere. In Dragon Pass, it blows at the whim of gods and godlings of various sorts; in the West it seesm to blow because of natural law. I'm not sure what happens if a follower of Orlanth tries to affect winds in the West. Is it harder? Does he need to learn to speak to the local gods?

Well, no. However, I think we're going around in circles, and I get the strong feeling that I'm boring the rest of the list. If you want to email me off-list, I'll be glad to keep discussing this.
