  Hi

The Russians and the Eskimos survive similar conditions without any magic so I don't think it's as calamitous as the Black Death. There will be some significant losses but I think they are on the scale of 5%. If the Fimbulwinter
were to persist for another year then I would see largescale losses occurring.

  Yeah but....my point is that we are talking about a bunch of people that are principally used to a fairly temperate climate. Andthey have magic to offset its worst aspects. During the fimbul winter not only is it much, much worse, but they are fairly much without magic.    

  I guess it doesn't last too long though, as you say.    

  Right, just had a look through. It clearly states that most people are magically hidden away or 'asleep'. Much of this work is achieved by Sartar's band. Ok then.    

  On the genocide thing - that Tatius is a real bastard isn't he? He is one NPC I would love to see get his! Getting eaten by a dragon seems a bit of a let off to me!!
