I agree! I extrapolated weather effects for my Carmania game based on 
OisD. Drawing a line from the DP TotRM through Carmania you wind up over 
Valind's Glacier. Based on that I reasoned that the Western Reaches had 
unusually cold and dry weather during the Windstop - not good for crops. 
This did not make some Carmanians very happy with the Emperor. I don't 
have any idea if there is a similar effect from Ernalda's sleep in DP, 
though.

Anyway, It would have been nice for the section on the effects of 
Windstop outside of Dragon Pass to give a brief (one paragraph?) mention 
of what the effects were in other places and the way those events were 
interpreted by the locals. It would not have to be an exhaustive list, 
but rather a few evocative examples to show what sort of thing is 
possible and set the tone.

Maybe next time... :)
