Fuck, I just remembered that thought of a thing when I was on the edge of sleep last night, something to work into the story with elves
something about cultural narratives?
can't quite recall it, this is so annoying
Hang on! it was prompted by the realisation that a shit-ton of plot happens because the elves casually use the word "ghost" and extremely don't mean what the human assumes they do
...right, got it! it was an explanation for why she's carrying a battle standard on the field at Underhill, so I know how to start filling in the gaping hole in the story before the start of the battle
that (genuinely) makes perfect sense
