I agree. We need that back-story, just as Kallyr's is necessary for the Sartar Rising campaign.

Yeah, that is my understanding as well. Their role and their relationship to Whitewall I think is up in the air. I am inclined to want to keep them out of it - in part because the Kitori later kill Broyan (or at least release the demon that kills him), and in part because they are so Gregable.

I think we need to have a bit of the Tarkalor backstory - that will help sort out the Volsaxi (although I don't think it is as important as it used to be, now that we have the Hargrand the Green stories).

Nope. Haven't heard much from Robin in quite awhile.

That was my conclusion as well. Actually, my Dawn Age map has Seriasdara on the upper Marzeel river IIRC.

My point is that we might be able to draw on some Dawn Age threads for WW - like Garan and Serias - that might introduce some new and cool minor Orlanthi myths into the story.
