Well, it is hard for them not to be aware of each others existance. They have tunnels that connect to two places (not necessarily physical), and always have had. True Mostali can still all travel through tunnels to Mostal's workshop and speak with Mostal and each other.

Of course though, YarGan did make an appearance for the Red Goddess' fight there. As did everyone else.

I love theological mostali discussions. Therefore, I would state that Mostal IS the World Machine, as are ALL Mostali. If you ask Isidilian if he is Mostal, he says, "Yes." (this much has been confirmed) Sort of in the same way that all Aldryami are like leaves in the forest, all Mostali are chips in the machine(Mostal).

I doubt any connection at all between the KoW and Mostali. Mostali are better planners than that. The Doomsday machine was/is the Iron Mostali class, set into motion long, long ago. Think about it, they are immortal, get stronger and stronger, and only live to fight. Eventually, they will destroy the World. (Besides, I only added the KoW as a joke.)
