CoolDudeAl wrote: Reginaandgold and Esk, just wanted to say I found the talk about the EF's society really interesting. You have both put much more thought into it than the writers have. XD Thanks, it is an interesting topic. I am a big fan of understanding the world building of Once but annoyingly I think it will remain speculation as I doubt the writers will ever go into real detail.

As I can imagine it to be quite difficult to create a world, name towns and cities and create a value of things such as how much gold is a dwafs diamond? To know the answers to where does the money come from? Where does it go? Is a trade of cloth equal to a trade of fish? Then add in all the animals both real and mythical and then meld all of this into a well known fairy tale which needs to be twisted and reimaginned and evolved, then they need to create connections between EVERYBODY and then sprinkle all this with magic, how does it work and what can you do with it? Name spells, name potions and understand hand gestures.

So i can imagine the writers have a complicated job to do and maybe I am over thinking it but this is what happens when you start off so well in season 1 and then start skipping over details and giving us half hearted explanations for stuff. Or worse, not giving us explanations at all. Is it too much to ask for for a named kingdom for petes sake lol.
