Very quick post as I just happened to find something in Fool's Fate - through chance I opened to the very section!
I think we are right to be going down the track that Aslevjal was cold before Prillkop, and it seems that Prillkop didn't change the whole island to 'cold' he just stopped the Elderling magic that was heating their indoor areas.
p 738 of my paperback edition:
'Once the stone hallways had been warmed Elderlings had come and gone from this place enjoying the wonders of the ice and snow that never reached their warmer lands."......"He (Prillkop) had somehow unharnessed the magic that gave warmth to the stone."
Geees if only Fitz had just asked Prillkop what killed off the Elderlings and dragons! Incurious sod!
Then again, if we re-read it we might find some more clues that completely escaped us before. I was pretty well just crying my eyes out at this point and didn't give a damn about the stupid Elderlings!
