It does (OK, did) have some good parallels; plucky freedom fighters in a
mountainous region suppressed by an evil empire to the north. After they are
liberated it turns out what they really wanted to do was fight each other and
enforce silly laws, but thats those crazy storm folk for ya!

It wasn't the frightening volume but some of the frightening entities that
lurk in its dark recesses. Perhaps we need a new subject; Kramersson vs
Kramersdottir is OK but is more interminal than the ancient languages of
Pavis.

Who thinks it is interesting that Daga "would bring peach to the world"? IS
this a spelling mistake or an odd fruity association for a god of drought.
