Your understanding is incorrect regarding the historical West, including Loskalm (i.e. before and during the time of the God Learners). At the Dawn, a large proportion of the West worshipped False Gods. During the Dawn Age, the Serpent Kings ruled Seshnela and pagan worship was a significant part of their rule.

There are Orlanthi very near the borders of Loskalm as well as numerous Hsunchen in Gharkor.
>And Peloria has always been a Divine, not a Sorcerous stronghold.
That's correct. But there were still sorcerers there when the Carmanians arrived - cf Glorantha: Intro p114).
