I wrote World Dragon Korgatsu with Image of Great ShanShan Mountains, World Giant Ymir (or Chinese Pan-gu.) past. I wrote about Pentans as same as Praxians in this Scheme for Riding Animals.
Greg Stafford and his comrade Mr. Trotsky wrote about many of Gloranthan
Horse Species and Knowledge. Still we don't do enough effort to link between
discription of Pentans and Horses, Vuanso (Small), Sered (Middle), Churan
(Large coming from Palangso and Sered). Londarios Library
and Redline HIstory of Glorantha keeps some Website Information about them.
Some of Tribal Name appeared in RH, Bao, Kroft, Huang, Davgarsh, Vay Hang as
relatively friendly tribe of Pentans before Appearance of Sheng. Southern
Peloria Opili Tribe visited.
That is completely IMHO parallel North Pent and South Prax:
Kargzant///Storm Bull
Hyalor///Waha
Hippoi, Arandyla///Eiritha
Golden Bow Dastal///Tada
First Tribe: Happy Age
(Hero: Yamsur and Hyalor / Homeland: Flame Ridge of Axis Mundi / Horse:
Hyal, but Degeneration of Darkness made most of their blood weakened into
Sered / Magic Style: Animist)
I think that People with Image of Noble Barbarian and Scythian, they lived
Middle of Plentiful Pent under Guidance of Kargzant Great Chieftain of Great
World Tent. Griffins and Hippogryph were Children of Kargzant and Vehicle of
Gods.
But Evil came to Earth, and worst was Uzdom came from Hell Crack.. Hyalor
was a descendant of
Yamsur, and he tamed Goddess Hippoi, former Hippogryph Goddess and then
Horse Goddess for she lost her own Organs by Attack of Enemy Gods. Many
scattered to Four Direction during Darkness.
Wyrm's Footprint, Peter Metcalph once denied that Mythology to Natural of
Pentan Origin for Yamsur coming from Genert Garden Myth of Praxians, but he
also denied once Myth of Hippoi which lost her Organs.
Hyalor Horsebreaker [HIGH-ah-lor]
Yelm pantheon -- famous hero, now god of horsemen
Hyalor Horsebreaker was a leader among men and a descendant of Yamsur. He
once saved Hippoi, a crippled spirit, from death. Together they formed an
alliance, Hippoi changed her name and identity, and now she is called Horse.
Man got the better of the alliance, for ever since then her descendants have
worked more for man than man has worked for the horse.
Hyalor also performed other great deeds among men, namely those which
eventually set apart a gentleman from those of lower class. Among the
horsemen of Pent Hyalor is the model chieftain.
Western Scratchers: Grey Age
(Hero: Jenarong, Vuranostum (Dara Happa) Lendarsh (Pelanda) / Homeland:
Peloria Bowl / Horse: Hyal & Lenshi (Pelandan) / Magic Style: Theist suited
to Pelorian Way)
They came to Western Land for Unknown Reason (Religious? Practical?), and
they ruled / conquered / guarded Lowlander Farmers after Kuzkurtum. My image
of them is White Huns of Attila, but Greg Stafford used Image of Charioteer
of RW ancient Orient Rulers in GROY....They eventually lost their War with
WCOF, Battle of Silver Flame, Argentium Thrielle. They returned to Sterile
Mother Land and saw Sunstop.
Blood Drinkers: 1st Age
(Hero: ? / Homeland: North Eastern Pent Plain near Chern Durel?/ Horse:
Churan, but Sered and Ekus also coming to their Herds from Near Foreigners/
Magic Style: Dark Theist?)
They made Altar for Blood Drinker Kargzant who drank Blood of Dead during
Night and used Blood for Splendor of Noon. Image: Huns? They annihilated for
Unknown Reason. But their Custom making Altar of Blood Drinker went to
Western Pent.
I wrote "Tale of Emperor Thalurzni" though Knowledge Leaker of Nochet prohibited to use it openly before Godlearners in Public. I should not make same mistake again for revealing Link of Ignorances and Pentans for Worship of Blood Thirsty Sun. Though I think Gathering Unconsciousness always linked to Glorantha Publishers. Because I wrote that before Secret Leakage of Obduran. (You know such Phenomenon was mentioned as Synchronicity by Pseudo Occultist Carl Gustav Jung?)
Gongarilli: 2nd Age
(Hero: Gongaril? / Homeland: Western Pent Plain/ Horse: Churan, Sered and
Others, but perfectly lost Herd of Hyal / Magic Style: Animist?)
During Erzanestyu Dynasty of Dara Happa, General Castok made Cavalry Army
against Horse Nomads and conquered them, (Always successful Military Masters
without Political Power were killed by their Liege Lords feared his
ability.) World always had changed after Dawn and little by little Power of
Ancient Magic Weakened, so most of them abandoned Ancient Way which bestowed
them Great Races of their Beloved Horse. And they started keeping Cattle and
Sheep. But Some of them rejected to abandone Old Way and became Pure Horse
Tribe.
Pure Horse Tribe: 2nd Age
(Hero: Joras Kyrem / Homeland: Prax and Great City of Giant Pavis / Horse:
Hyal (Very Small) and Others, and Joras made Zebras with help and compromise
of Eirithans of Paps / Magic Style: Theists and Animists?
Some of Pure Horse Tribe went to Southern Land answering with EWF request,
Hero Joras became Leader of City Dwellers and made Pact with many Praxian
Way and Imperial Way of EWF, one of his ally is Arinsor and Yelmalions of
Bastard Dara Happan Way. But after EWF fell, they also was defeated before
Uz and Praxians. Some of them escaped to Dragon Pass with Strange Magic? My
Image of them is Avarians.
Another Pure Horses remained to Pentan Plain and became Char Uns later.
Meditators (New Blood Drinkers): 2nd Age
(Hero: Dijaar and his Five Friends? / Homeland: Eastern Pent Plain?/ Horse:
Horse: Churan, Sered and Ekus / Magic Style: Eastern AntiGod Style?)
My Image of them is Oiglats, they lived between New Dragon Ring and EWF and
struggled for survival of their Traditional Way with usage of Dark Methods?
They became Fierce Antagonists against West and East Draconic Mysticism.
CharUns: Early 3rd Age
(Hero: Panishi, Orgrol? / Homeland: Erigia / Horse: Hyal (Very Small) and
Others, and recently they revived Winged Horses with Help of Hero Quest
(Myth of Hippoi?)/ Magic Style: Lunarize Theists and Animists?)
This Pure Hores Tribe became Ally of New Moon Queendom after Battle of Seven
Horses but betrayed after Apotheosis of Rufelza, they became Friend of
Jannisor during Dara Happan Rebellion. But Great Chieftain Panishi burned
whole of Erigia with Skyburn, they became relatively peaceful to TakenEgi
and his Court. My Image of them is "Notorious Cossacks" of Southern Russia.
Grazers: Early 3rd Age
(Hero: Feathered Horse Queens and Luminous Stallion Kings/ Homeland: West of
Dragonpass / Horse: New Hyal Golden Eye and Others / Magic Style: Animists?)
Their Origin is Unknown and Some legends said Ancestors of them were Bane
Centaurs escaped from Stiched Zoo collapsing during fall of EWF. (I think
there is small possibility EWF created Bane Centaurs using Body of Southern
Pelorian Horse Nomads who insisted their Ancestry to Hyaloring during Days
of GROY and Emperor Vuranostum..Maybe Ironhoof helped them. King of Sartar.)
But recent Majority agreed they escaped from Prax after Collapse of
Arrowsmith Dynasty of Pavis. They became Slave Masters of Vendref and
started Worship of Earth, and Kero Fin, FHQ. They became Ally of Sartar and
Other Orlanthi with Magical Marriage.
Rivivalists: Middle Third Age
(Hero: Sheng Seleris / Homeland: Genertela, As Ghingis Khan of Cambarik, he
made his Capital Near Orathorn? /Horse: Sered, Palangso and Kralorelan /
Magic Style: Dark Mysticism, Animist and Theist)
They were Seleran Empire, Bursts and Rays ruled them. They are Great Enemy
of Red Empire and Yellow Empire, antagonist of Yara Aranis and Godunya. But
defeated by Battle of Kitor and successful Combat.
HonEef and Maginificus massacred them with many way. Reverend Mother of
Horse challenged to HonEel but was defeated either. Night of Horror ended
with Death of 150,000 mans (Great Disastor as Dragonkill) for Orathorn
Sorcerors and Lunar College Magic conjured Chaos itself on the Middle of
Battlefield. Sheng still agonized himself in the Lunar Mystical Hell.
Neo Kargzanite: Late Third Age
(Hero: ? / Homeland: Middle Pent /Horse: Sered, Palangso and Kralorelan /
Magic Style: Animist and Theist)
They are Majority of Recent Pentans, some of them still want to return back
and have tried to Heroquest Helping of Sheng Seleris.
Red Hair Tribes: Late Third Age
(Hero: ? / Homeland: Red Hair Camp? /Horse: Vuanso and Palangso / Magic
Style: Animist and Theist)
They are Bastard Tribe with Assistance of All Pentans who brought Red Hair
Children to that Lunar Sympathizers. They guarded Trade Route of Kralorela
and LE under Order of Red Emperor.
Storm Worshipers of Four Direction Wind: Late Third Age
(Hero: Bronze Sword Prophet / Homeland: Western Pentan Plain /Horse: Vuanso
and Palangso / Magic Style: Animist and Theist)
IMHO, they are World Reaction or Backrush against Trial of Lunars who want
to kill Whole Worship of Orlanth as Carmanian Worship of Invisible Orlanth
at least in RQ3 Edition of Genertela Book. They rebelled against Kargzant
Worship for it could not help War against Lunar Empire.
Other Horse Tribes, Pol Joni and Hsunchen Ralians also rode Horse but utterly Different Culture of Horse.
I think Pentans revere Celestial Lore as Middle People of Sky
Pantheon...Dara Happa and Kralorela.
Once TakenEgi want to frighten Pentans and went to Hell of Pentans and
return with "Gorgorma" 's Daughter.
Both DH and Kralorela revere the Sisters of Dendara and Gorgorma though I
don't know they remind Planet Entekos and KataMoripi...Black Dendara of
Storm Age.

Avoid them as much as you can, because the Three have very Big Body and always close risk to collapse Whole of Glorantha and Four World System of Hero Wars Game..

Fundamentalists..
If you want something to do there, please teach me
while I will visit there Neo Christian Roma and Via
Dolorosa of Last Plant God, Orient now desert for Lost Ancient Glory, Land
of Baals.
