FWIW, I believe it is supposed to be a knight of Saint Gerlant, which may not be *specifically* Fronelan, but is at least Malkioni.

That one, at least, will get covered in LotW3. (Actually, quite a few bits about Loskalm and Junora in the Fronela book are taken from LotW3, but because the latter focuses just on those countries, it goes into more depth.)

I'm guessing those are rhetorical questions, yes? i.e. It's obvious to those of with the old books, but not to a newcomer who only has this to go on. Mind you, I have no idea how much of my maps will make it into the published versions of LotW2 and 3. (I did, incidentally, do B&W line art versions of these, but one suspects they're a bit obviously "CC2" to be used as is).
