Checking an unpublished draft of Thunder Rebels (always an iffy business), I find that Hardrad's revolt is thought to be a century or so after Andrin making
his revolt occur around 1400s - which means the Volsaxar Confederation was formed before the Volsaxi Tribe (before 1560 or so), which is strange.

DP: LoT rescues this state of affairs somewhat by pointing out that Volsax was a famous dawn age chief.

But the Larnsti didn't rebel against Andrin and they are absent in Hargrand's (admittedly all too brief) description. Furthermore the traditional
Larnsti Kings were themselves Larnsti (Glorantha: Intro p142) whereas Broyan is an ultratraditionalist Vingkotling (Thunder Rebels p6). For this reason I don't believe that Broyan is allied with the Larnsti as a whole but with some Larnsti.
