I seem to recall that these are mentioned somewhere. There is no reason why there shouldn't be.
> 3. Is there some Pamaltelan chaos lurking in Dorastor? eg. charnjibber
I don't believe that Nysalor/Gbaji's Empire ever stretched that far. But given the powers of Chaos and the HeroQuesting ability of the Boss Broo it may be possible.
> 4. Why is Farong Farash (sp?) of Tink so bloomin' weird?
He is the re-incarnation of a spirit left over from the time of the Empire of the Wyrms Friends in the body of an unfortunate adventurer.

No, they can't. And it is Heresy to suggest otherwise.

The RQ3 write up of the Cult of The Bloody Tusk is in Ancient Secrets of Glorantha. The Tusk Riders seem to be a human/troll mix although most people believe they mate with their pigs....
Chris Francis <fra_at_eatl.co.uk> he say:

I believe it was yet another of Fazzur's Good Ideas. He proposed the Ducks as a scapegoat to allow the other Sartarite tribes a facing saving way of disavowing their participation in the rebellion. To their shame the other tribes agreed and let the Ducks get screwed.
This also had the effect of weakening the unity of the former Kingdom of Sartar which had always protected the Ducks. This subtle bit of temptation to betray the highest ideals of your former ideology is typical of Lunar manipulation.
Lewis Jardine <JARDINE_at_rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk> asssures us that:
> So there you go, the Vadeli are the French!
Which is both wise and true but then goes on to say:
>
> As you may have guessed the English are the Brithini!
>
> Those of you who think they are the Lunars are tragically wrong...
What do you mean? Trying to identify us with a bunch of xenophobic, neophobic hierarchical lunatics with an in-built terror of Sex! I mean.....
Hrumph!....
I send around some of the boys to see to you, Meeester Jardine....
