Garundyer wouldn't have a reason to bring back Sheng tho.

The sidebar of the five Arkat cults was written by Greg. The Chaos Monks can still be a Borist/Arkat fusion that bears a strong resemblence to what was in Tradetalk #2.

They don't IMO. The Galvosti were mainly interested in repressing the Orlanthi of Ot- and Surkorion. Since their victims were non-Malkioni, the Malkioni were more tolerant of their tapping than they otherwise would have been. Hence the Galvosti were the visible rulers of their kingdom until the Henotheists deposed them a few years ago. OTOH the Borists have been persecuted because of their apparent friendship to chaos and have always remained lurking beneath the shadows.
