Ha...I vote for somewhere in between a Canadian or Finlandish winter and Florida/Italy.
I guess I was picturing it with a winter kind of like England or Ireland...not that I know much about winter there, but I do not think it is too severe. Not a great deal of snow, some freezing weather, ice, frost, etc. I dunno.
About my last post - it is clumsily done, Durelin, but I have engaged Coenred in conversation.
Firefoot, Quin is talking with Leof. Feel free to keep that conversation going and use NPCs for more conversation and comments from the men. I'll keep playing Quin with you, too.
