Quite possibly, though I think Elmal is more well known. Its probably is Ernalda (or something like her) among the various Sun Domes -- it was more the male aspects of the culture that changed. The Earth Tribe is already well able to suffer through dealing with the Solar types.

No more than Nadan is a subcult of Ernalda... =) I think TR covers standard practices for the '85%" -- neither of which include Vinga or her opposite number.

Think Switzerland. With control of the Weather AND the Earthquakes. And with the presence of Kero Fin (and the near constant cloud about it), I think its probably a very nasty place for the Lunars to work magic.
It just would cost too much for the Tarshites to deal with. I suspect the Lunars don't really care as long as the raiding is kept to a dull roar. Anytime the Exiles get uppity, I suspect heavy punitive raids are mounted (which probably have heavy casualties if they go too deep into the mountains)

Ancient Queen of Dragon Pass and priestess of the earth. Married Arim the Pauper, I think. (Or so I recall dimly) Check King of Sartar for details. Sorana Tor is not related to Maran Gor. Lady of the Wild is a local goddess found around Kerofinela who could be any number of powerful hero and heroine's ancestress. FHQ is the current equivalent of Prince of Sartar for the Grazers -- kinda, and embodies a New Way (which is also a very OLD way) among the Horse Spawn.

One name for the Storm Tribe's chunk of the Hero Plane.
