I have a very personal relationship with my wife, but despite rumors that
indicate otherwise, I don't believe I am going to go mildly insane because
we have different personalities and personal requirements. And I would
certainly say that most of my friends differ from me in many significant
ways as well.
The I don't see the core components of my make-up preventing partnerships
and long-term relationships with others that have different, even
contradictory core components. I'm not suggesting that Solar Emperors marry
trolls or anything, but I think that Shaman are special in that they can
meet the demands of their spirit allies without their ego getting in the
way. Especially when the Shaman (in game terms) is not increasing the
ratings of his core runes.
