In Chapter 2, the heroes are constantly reminded of the heat and danger of the Innenotdar forest, and how tenuous their status is, given their dwindling number of Stand the Heat potions (if they did not agree to Indomitability's terms). Several others, though, seem to be able to exist in the burning wood without that protection, at least temporarily. Nelle is tired and weak, but still alive; Gwenvere seems affected more by her feelings towards Anyariel & Timbre than the fires; all of the Seela seem largely unbothered by the heat of the world around them. Even Bhurisrava was able to travel up and down the White River without succumbing (though as a Cleric, he may have simply cast Stand the Heat upon himself, daily).
I haven't seen a clear explanation in the books how the Seela, in particular, have been able to withstand the heat for so long. Is there a canon explanation for how the Seela, in particular, have survived this long? Otherwise, do you have suggestions on how to address that topic if a heroic party asks them?
