Just to note that the Aeolians are to be the representative sorcerous
culture in HW2, replacing the Black Horse Troop (who were cool, but
just a little too atypical). This will inevitably include more on
their culture, and while this is still not as martial a culture as
the knights of the West (or the Orlanthi of the north, or...), with a
strong emphasis on hard work and living good lives, they will also
have their martial saints' cults.
