They're friendly, maybe even comforting at times, but they think it's ok to know nothing beyond the good things of their own "world". They're a bit like the lotus-eaters of Homer's Odyssey. Only I get trapped because I change, not because I forget. They probably never have a chance of getting out of the tower, though, because they died usual deaths, in the "real world"-for them it's more natural to stay there. I think the reason I got out and revived was because I never truly forgot, the existence of the elf queen alone wouldn't have been enough.
