I appreciate all the feedback given, and to some extent my original questions were answered.
But, I have to say that I am surprised by peoples (lack of) reaction to the sub topic about faeries. I guesss my players and I are not normal arm players. I had really thought that there would be at least a handful of people that were bothered by the idea of Faeries having no reason/intellect. That is not to say that I was trolling or anything....just thought an interesting discussion might arise about the Faeries. Oh well...
Or,
perhaps the moderators have PoF all of the Merinita online
