IMO, Sog City was founded to handle the Trade with the Third Eye Blue Kingdom at Tarnswall. Cheap Metals or at least until the Decamony got in on the Act. As for the Vadeli lands on South Jrustela, I think Zzabur would have paid attention to them with his Sink Land spell. I don't believed it survived at the dawn. The Browns were the only ones to survive the Ice Age and the Reds have only reappeared with the Opening.

The myth of Malkions birth being the descendant of Aerlit and Warera is, IMO, a Waertagi myth to explain the naturalness of their veneration of him in the Sea Pantheon. As the later God Learner Empire turned pretty pagan, with Wachaza being their chief War God, it seems natural for them to adopt this myth irrespective of the fact that it is true.

The Dwarves in question came from Slon where they are plagued by Dinosaurs who come over the Wall. I think they are the only mostali in the world who have access to dinosaur control magics.

I think the Vadeli do have some records of what he preached during his stay. Something like 'This is the Law: Do What Thou Will!'. But then they would say that, wouldn't they.

The year is 1602 ST. The defenders of Boldhome, the Last Free Men of Sartar look grimly at the majestic Imperial Army besiging their beloved city. A cry of despair breaks out as they notice the ruddy glow of the Crimson Bat coming to sear their city.
Quoth one, Alex the Lanky, Son of Fergus the Stickpicker.
'Look on the Bright Side; The presence of this dire beast means our agony will be much less, at least in terms of calender date...'
[cut to Lunar Camp]
Emperor Ignifier: They have done WHAT?
Euglyptus the Fat: Opened the doors of Boldhome, Painted their faces red, shouted with one voice 'All Hail the Red Moon' and fed one trussed barbarian with an apple in his mouth into the maw of the Scarlet Bat.
