I wonder if the memory propogates as pollen or some other form of particle. It might be neat to have the destroyers of a forest breath in the wind-borne ash and start to have weird memories...
It might even be a useful weapon for cultural imperialism: weaponised elvish mimetic spores or something... "You'll see our way soon..."
