I don't think Kallyr left as part of a heroquest - I think it is much more likely that Broyan and Kallyr concluded by late 1620 that Whitewall was probably doomed. Kallyr as leader of the Iron Ring needed to survive.

True, but it looks to me as if Kallyr generally spends winter in Whitewall, not wandering around Dragon Pass (a bit chilly, impassable, etc, when you don't have a fixed home to go to.)

Not specifically, no. As a general rule, it's been "guerilla and commando activities" and "fostering resistance".

Hmm... Can't say I'm very keen on the idea, but it *does* fit.

I think we were considering a mundane-plane re-enactment, not going onto the HP, weren't we? Hence Kallyr really, in the mundane, leaving Whitewall?
