It's the word 'page' that's the clue here, methinks. Your typical
Sartarite lout, and even their so-called 'kings' that rule from those
oversized cowsheds, doesn't typically have a page like we civilised
types. Clearly Good King Wenceslas is using the magic of St Bertorl,
patron saint of missionaries, whose magic includes both 'Ignore Cold'
and 'Find the Path' (he worked in Fronela, where, as you might imagine,
both came in rather handy). And there are Bertorli in Dragon Pass too -
and I bet they'd go round giving poor people winter fuel, just to show
the inherent niceness and superiority of their religion. So what sort of
magic? Sorcery of course! Huzzah!
Um... why are you Heortlings looking at me like that? *Edges away*
