Geology and literature? Perfect! No wonder you wrote that post....!
I just couldn't imagine Elderlings living in a freezing cold place (I don't think that is stated in the books, just my impression), or without dragons!
But now that you mention it Farseer.... it all comes back to me (a bit anyway!) about Prillkop doing a freeze job.
Good point Lord P about dragons not being very adaptable. I think that's one reason they could have used the Elderlings help, but apparently they left them for dead instead! Hmm well that's one possibility.
Sintara IS a great example. I also noticed when she flew at the end she RAN before flying.... something I clearly recall her belittling Heeby for doing!!! So I guess they CAN adapt just VERY slowly!!
