*** On that note? Forcing someone to do something against their will has never actually solved anything in ElfQuest: when anybody tries to force someone else to change their mind, they always resist out of spite, and it never helps anything. The Wolfriders try to force the Trolls to shelter them by arguing that they're owed a favor in return for all their good deeds in the past, but all it does is convince Greymung that the Trolls don't ''need'' the Elves, and he strands them in the desert out of spite. Winnowill doubles down on her plans whenever Leetah tries to forcibly heal her twisted mind. Kahvi tries to demand half of the Little Palace because because she's a Go-Back and that's what she does , the Sun Folk refuse because she already tried to take it by force, even though splitting the Little Palace wouldn't make it any less effective for them. If Venka had forcibly stopped Rayek, all it would have done is leave Rayek convinced that it ''would'' have worked perfectly, or else Venka wouldn't have been so dead-set on stopping him, and he'd be looking for another way just to prove her wrong. Letting him make that choice and realize the error of his ways meant that he would never make a second attempt, and that realization leads him to some huge character development.

** Ekuar covers this at one point, saying that the High Ones chose their bodies because living a physical life is good. When you abandon all earthly suffering, you also cut out earthly joy, and to them, earthly joy was worth it.

** Who's to say a bunch of them ''didn't'' just write off their bodies? There could have been more of them in the Palace than the ones we've seen, who just ditched the World of Two Moons and left their vacant bodies behind to die. The surviving High Ones may just not like to talk about the companions they'd lost that way.
