He's mister exploiter, he's mister ones and zeros
They call me GlytchMeister, whatever I touch

Next thoughts: Verily, thou art most dorksome.
Norway? Hmm. Colder air is usually denser, which is easier to maneuver in. The thicker the air, the easier it is to alter your course in a hurry.
However, the mountainous region may indicate high altitude, which means thinner air - harder to get a hold of with wings, and also poses the risk of altitude sickness. I wonder if Sirens have evolutionary advantages to combat low-oxygen situations... Being, I would assume, sea birds, I'm not sure Sirens ever needed to fly extremely high.
Also, mountain air currents and mountain weather systems are hella complicated.
And finally: Indeed, there's nothing quite like a good lungful of clean, wild air.

A large "no fly" zone?
Good. That will help keep Atsali's teeth clean during the flight exercises.

Just because there are mountains doesn't mean they are at high altitude... They can still be at sea level or near it and see mountains... and Fjords too.GlytchMeister wrote:Next thoughts: Verily, thou art most dorksome.

Mountain weather systems are hella complicated? Okay, having been stationed in Colorado and Arizona and having dealt with Mountain range weather systems, I can vouch for that... but you haven't seen complicated till you've been to Adak Alaska... They call the place the birthplace of the winds. There are no trees anywhere because you'd have to anchor them in concrete to keep them in the ground. Complicated weather? Try mixing the warm north pacific currents with the Arctic currents... They say there are only ten days of clear weather a year out there... and they are usually never consecutive... We had seven spread across a seventeen day period.
Where's Adak? Look for the end of the Aleutian chain clear out by Russia... Adak is the third major island in from the end of the Chain. It's the only place I've ever seen Bald Eagles in the wild hovering three feet over your head, eyeballing you like an intruder into his domain...

Atsali might want to consider trying her demon wings as well. Bats are mighty maneuverable. Be like comparing a jet with a biplane.

And now, when their local contact shows up, he's going to have an aggressive walrus mustache and announce his name is Leif Erickson . . .

I wonder if they might meet any of the locals. Trolls, ice giants, some scruffy one-eyed vagabond or a guy wanting Atsali to ask her aunt Shelly to give his hammer back.

Unfortunately for Thor, the fae he made a pass at in a bar in Trondheim had severe issues with social anxiety... he was drunk and pushy... got a bit grabby... she reacted reflexively... ZAPPO!
... and now both Thor and his hammer are a trifle size-challenged.
