You make a good point, vanwalossien, regarding women. Hebrew culture has always had a piece of mysogyny about it, as has Germanic, for that matter. The Celtic culture hasn't, from what I have read and heard.
One feature of discourse among the learned, and not so learned, perhaps, might be, "Have all the Elves gone over sea?" Which would put a different bent on exploration, too... Would the native Americans have been treated differently... at least, at first? Purely speculative, of course...
