[Elfsea] [Steppes] A question about 12th Night feast

[Eric Dickey]

I agree with Alaric in that statement.  I personally believe that what you
are proposing for the feast is great on it's own, but if there is any need
of further elegance (should anyone feel that way), then how about the way it
is presented to the good gentles attending?  Could that be made into more of
an "Ahhh" factor?
