Wow, congratulations! My extrapolation from my one RL example like this is that this probably involved you and your then-boyfriend/now-husband being waaaaaaay more mature at 18 than I was. Not that this would be so hard; I was not exactly, let's say, precocious in this respect. On the other hand, the kids in the books I was ranting about don't seem to be big on the maturity side either :)

would you have been thinking of Keltia?

Got it in one! Yeah, I actually thought that was a pretty cool plot element, even if Aeron didn't think so :)
