I did. (Randomly selected???)
Do you happen to know who is the real world equivalent of Likstrandos?

This still makes me wonder about the origin of the Gansavuli, and the name "Gansaland" for southern (modern) Heortland and northern God Forgot. According to that piece of Greg's, -vuli signifies a Star Tribe (which I interprete as originated in the Greater Darkness, when the Star Captains helped).
It is also unfortunate that to German ears, Gansaland sounds like goose-land. This close to Duck Point, unwanted associations grow...

So the Hendriki became the Eleventh tribe of the Heortlings?

It is unclear whether this applies to the Hendriki as well. Can you clarify that?
