My apologies Dina, my response came out harsher than I intended. Having seen how people tore apart the last few trailers, not to mention how critical people can be generally about this stuff (especially on the internet) I was a bit defensive. I know some people who worked on those other trailers and the way people reacted to people just trying to provide some entertainment and fan service was very toxic, and we were just so shocked after trying to do something nice for everyone. Just so you and everyone else knows, quite a lot of people involved do read these forums (even if they don't post or even have accounts. It pays to think about how your reaction might affect others. You are always more than welcome to say what you like, but there can be consequences too. Free speech cuts both ways, I'm afraid. We all run the risk of offending people with any actions we take and whatever things we say. Best thing we can do is try and be respectful and kind, and I compromised my own principles then being harsher than was necessary. I am sorry for that, I hope you have a good day.
Snark Knight - I think the Winter Mantle is more like the Dark Side of the Force. It doesn't so much protect defensively, I suspect it follows the "best defense is a good offense" idea. Kill before you get over powered. Creatures like phages might be biting off more than they can chew trying to eat Winter.
Bad Alias - my bad, so it is. Why Evanna says he is getting justice is strange...who would she care about apart from another Svartalf? Gard maybe (being related in mythological circles)? Although why he would kill Gard is a mystery to me...forget Marcone you have to deal with Vadderung!
