A'vlan of Sharlayan

A'vlan reveres Thaliak by virtue of his Sharlayan upbringing! He's the nation's patron deity, after all, and seeing as Knowledge Seeks No Man, it makes sense enough to invoke The Scholar's blessing in seeking it out himself. That being said, he still holds a belief in the entire pantheon.

It's kinda a Sharlayan thing in general, I believe. They give imbue certain animals with great intelligence to help them do their chores or something along those lines - such as a certain witch. It's mentioned in a FATE or something similar, I think.

Personally, I imagine they're somewhere inbetween - and it seems to vary from tribe to tribe. They're descended from hunter tribes that crossed the frozen sea long ago, after all, and they still have their many tribes, so they haven't exactly left that lifestyle. Yet, there's plenty of clearly intellectual ones, and they don't seem lacking in intelligence in general. Then again, I'm probably biased, being that I RP a Scholarly type more than anything else. I figure you could play a Miqo'te as savage as you liked - nothing wrong with some individuality.

Mhm! Kinda reminds me of RPing on many WoW servers - lots of "if you're not using a cookie-cutter personality you're bad" which, in all truth, sucked. Still, yeah, being emotive and all that is great, but I was never really too bothered when Miqo'te didn't emphasise their Miqo'te-ness all the time. In fact, I didn't really notice it at all until it was mentioned. Perhaps it's time to pay more attention!
