Caledor is rather overpicked though. Besides, any sufficiently powerful elf will acquire some form of insane magical beast, be it dragon,phoenix etc.

Where? I'm genuinely interested - I've never seen a quest where Caledor was picked, and that's a big shame.

Also I wouldn't bet on us getting a phoenix/dragon/etc. Just because we're a powerful elf doesn't mean we're entitled to a magical beast - feels like a severe underestimate of how hard they are to obtain.

yeah, overpicked might have been a poor choice of words, what I really mean is that it's been done, and still is with the quest you mentioned. It just seems a bit lazy to have two quests with elves who happen to be from Caledor at the same time.

Aqshy has also been done, with a quest and a sequel quest. By that argument it's lazy to have two quests with wizards that happen to master in Aqshy.

Ghur and Chamon however are rarely heavily explored.

I wasn't even aware there was a quest with a focus on aqshy. Currently, while there isn't a quest about Ghur, there is a story on SV about a dragon masquerading as a human learning to become a Ghur Wizard. All in all, Aqshy is more exciting than Ghur could ever be, but I think that's my pyromania talking.

Never found Aqshy that interesting, to he honest. When compared to the other Winds... well, I enjoy some pyromania, but nearly every other Wind is more interesting when Aqshy is (for the most part) "burn everything".

As is, Aqshy may have excellent potential, it's just, been seen before. A lot. In fiction and fanworks.

and I'm not sure it will provide the greatest synchronization for all I trust Voik to make something of it. It doesn't ring to synchronize unless Avelorn touches into Asuryan themes, holy fire and such like that which sprouted from the sap of the Oak of Ages touching the corrupted.

Well the good news is I have plans for what happens if each Wind wins and, well, I won't say none of them are at all stereotypical but I will say Aqshy is definitely one that is farther away from the stereotype.

(You will burn shit, don't get me wrong, but you will do much more than burn shit)

Mostly depends on what people want to read about. And it's not like the character is limited to one wind like for a human. An Archmage can manipulate all winds with reasonable skill, just not equal, and the one we choose would be only the one they are best in.

And the winds, iirc, don't affect the elves as deeply as they do humans. Elves prolly don't get Arcane marks like humans, either.

I'd still say Ellyrion would be *the* interesting place to be in given the political climate that would follow the death of Bel-Korhardis, given their Cassandra situation, but Caledor comes off as close second. It has prolly the most potention other than Avelorn, but we would have to always play second fiddle to the Everqueen in Avelorn, however many centuries the quest may go through.

The wind vote, imo, should be less contentious as I think Voik is not gonna get us railroaded as a Loremaster. That would mean our capabilities wouldn't be hampered by or too biased towards one wind whichever way we vote.

I see, still, there's a world's difference between an imperial mage and one from Ulthuan. One's shunned by basically everyone they encounter, while the other is respected for their skill and ability. Besides, I'm relatively sure a high elf has much more leeway when it comes to letting loose with their magic than an imperial.
 
Anyways, I'm really hoping we can imitate Solaire's JOLLY COOPERATION! As an Aqshy Wizard. Seems very fitting when looking at the description provided.

To add, Chrace and Ghur are easy fits.

Caledor and Aqshy would be a very easy one as it's an already stated class of mage, the Dragonmages (though the books also state each kingdom has its own types, we just didn't get to see them all given names, descriptions and TT stats)
 
As for location to go to I always feel like the remaining high elven colonies are underexplore. Like I'm sure Arnheim always appreciate another extra hand with killing dark elf scums.
