I imagine Treack was a sage who fled to Kralorela from Heortland to avoid persecution as a Riddler by Arkat's forces. He lived in Lur Nop in exile (surviving on his ill-gotten gains stuffed in his briefcase before he skipped the country). He travelled to the Eastern Isles to reach the Fabled Land of Vithela and thereby gain the Secrets of Enlightenment. Unfortunately Treack had falling to his innate greed (liberated by Gbaji's teachings) and came away with naught but the skull of Atyar.

>And, for that matter, how does a broo hero Greegrog get into Kralorela --
>I didn't know broos lived there?

I believe the Huan To invited him in from the Wastelands to sack a few cities? One city was occupied by the Ogre King and the Legion of Red Bones for quite a while in the second age which gives some insight as to how Kralorela was run under the Aegis of the New Dragons' Ring.
