> "Everyone alive" descended from those who were on Anaxial's Ark. I'm wondering how literal this claim is, from the _Dara_Happan_ point of view. Would they claim that the ancestors of the Loskalmi were on the ark, or did is save everyone in the "known world".
GroY says about who was on the ark - "In this way they saved the best of the plants, animals, peoples, and godlets."Anaxial picked who got on the Ark, everyone else was "polluted" and "wicked". "Everyone alive" now has a context. The only thing to get on the Ark after it sailed was baby Gerra.

The Bethegusites were clearly outsiders as Bethegus didn't get onboard. Likewise Darjiin is somewhere else so no one was picked.
