>Greg, if you're not tired of the subject, it'd be great to have more elaboration on how the Windstop, and sleep of the earth queen, affect places further away. (I've run very few of my games in regions affected by the Lunars.) There is only brief mention of this in Orlanth is Dead (pp. 43 and 45).

I agree! I extrapolated weather effects for my Carmania game based on OisD. Drawing a line from the DP TotRM through Carmania you wind up over Valind's Glacier. Based on that I reasoned that the Western Reaches had unusually cold and dry weather during the Windstop - not good for crops. This did not make some Carmanians very happy with the Emperor. I don't have any idea if there is a similar effect from Ernalda's sleep in DP, though.

Anyway, It would have been nice for the section on the effects of Windstop outside of Dragon Pass to give a brief (one paragraph?) mention of what the effects were in other places and the way those events were interpreted by the locals. It would not have to be an exhaustive list, but rather a few evocative examples to show what sort of thing is possible and set the tone.

Maybe next time... :)
