To use the familiar vernacular:
It'd be like biting into the sun.

I dig the angels quite a lot. In particular I like the image of them sort of flocking in the wake of the Aurora like sea birds following the tides...

But...ICE WORLD has no sun...

That's why I said to use the familiar vernacular.
As in familiar to us.


Well, since we already had the Arelheim angels, I decided to swerve away from a warrioresque culture to distinguish them from the other.
I also kind of liked the migratory effect they seemed to have, though I've left a lot of that up to interpretation. Even if they fly out of the aurora together, they don't really seem to stay together.

Is it really bad that I want to find some way to make the number 11 relevant to the elves?

So, after much reflection and consideration, I think I have finally found a handle to hang upon this world.
I, as of this post, officially bestow a name to this world.

From this point on, Ice World will be known as Lania.

I like it.

Also, CAN you make 11 significant to elves? It'd make an arbitrary hook around which anthologies might be built or cards could be designed...

I kept fretting it was too short, but it has a fluid, sort of neutral phonetic structure that can be anchored in various places.
Though also, I kind of want to keep an appellation amongst walkers.
Like, never just "Lania" but "Lania, the Frozen".

It is also amusing because "elf" is 11 in german. Something that I am occasionally reminded of.
And I'd like to make the idea work, but I'm sort of at a loss for how.

Maybe if someone wrote a story. (I would, but I already have like 11 plot threads spread out right now. I just don't have it in me.)

I like Lania, The Frozen even better

you have... 11 plot threads you say?!

COULD THE ELVEN MAGIC BE AT WORK EVEN HERE??

It's the elven conspiracy. The pointy ear Illuminati at work.
