I thought this was the Praxians but your guess is good as mine.

Storm Bull is a son of Umath and Hykim so it could be him. But I thought this was a reference to the Wenelians.
> the Bull Tamers = ???
My immediate reaction was the Tawari but they are miles away in Fronela and not very numerous. Another suggestion might be a tribe of Sky Bull riders.
> the Helerings = the Atelli from Wenelia ?
It could be a poetic reference to coastal sea people.
> the Ice Rhino People = Valindings, but from where ?
My best guess is that the Ice Rhino appeared during the Fimbulwinter and these people tamed them.
> the Over the Seas Folk = Umathelan barbarians maybe ?
Wolf Pirates are more likely than Umathelans IMO (even if Argrath wasn't on speaking terms with Harrek, he still had some awareness with them on his LBQ).
