Quite a few. Coldfort (ToTRM#10) is a Loskalmi Fort in the Ygg's Isles.

How many heroquestors in Dragon Pass do you met from the West, Pamaltela, East Isles and Kralorela? People heroquest in their vicinity and rarely travel into a strange land.

Previous adevntures: Killing a pack of Wolf-pirates at the age of 12. This argues for either a Fronelan origin rather than a Sartarite one. If she was from the Holy Country then she would have been well known given their track record against the Wolf Pirates. The Queen of the Kiss is thought to have been an Ulerian High Priestess of Zoria in Fronela. Shortly afterwards She meets Harrek. Seems to argue for a Fronelan origin, methinks.

Argrath is not a wolf-pirate and has not visited the Isles of Ygg (nor is he likely to do so under he undergoes the Lightbringers Quest). Harrek's own journeys are exceptional and are part of his heroic legacy.
