Not correct. Many of the Alakorings were never Vingkotlings or Heortlings (such as the Talastari Tribes).
Many more of the Alakorings

At this level, there are the Drogarsi of Maniria who claim descent from another of Orlanth's Sons. They include the Wenelian Tribes.

The Hendrieki are much older than the Sartarites as they have been around since the Chaos Wars.

The Rexes (also Reg and some other celtic term that I can't recall) are used in Heortling Tribes too. I think Alakoring cleansed the old tribal kingship of draconic influences and promulgated this as Orlanth Rex rather than any class struggles.

Tarsh only moved to a hereditary nobility as a result of lunar influences.
