>*Is there anywhere some information about the Sun Dome County southwest of
There is, sparsely divided between King of Sartar, Convulsions '94 (Or RQ-Con 1) booklet, RQ-Adventures issues 1 and 4, and the digest.
Nowhere is stated whether the central temple there dates from before the Dragonkill, but it is known that there was at least one Sun Dome Temple in the EWF-era Dragon Pass.
Whatever happened in 877, there remained sufficient numbers of Sun Domers behind to keep the trolls of Kethaela somewhat in check. They were exterminated (or driven out of Dragon Pass) along with the other humans before or during the Dragonkill War. After that, there were no Sun Dome templars in considerable numbers native in Dragon Pass, although some cultist mercenary units may have served with Tarsh or other groupings.
Around 1550, Tarkalor Trollkiller (brother or uncle to the current Prince of Sartar) and Monrogh Lantern spread the new cult of Yelmalio among the disgruntled Quivini sun worshippers, and found much resonance. When Tarkalor led them and the Volsaxi against the darkness-worshipping Kitori tribe (mixed trolls and humans, though normally no interbreeding) who blocked the important trade route to Karse, they won and distributed the conquered territory:
which left the Kitori fleeing into the troll woods, or to Blackwell and the Haunted Lands in the direct shadow of Shadow Plateau.
(In order to reconcile this history related in KoS with the status quo described in RQ Adventures issue 4, Jeff Richard and I came up with kinship ties between Brian of the Volsaxi and the Etori clan of the Kitori, granting them access back to the city of Whitewall, for our (now dormant) shared Heortland campaign of 1617.)
Back to the question: There was another "exodus" of Sun Dome worshippers from Dragon Pass to Prax when Dorasar founded Pavis. Varthanis Brighthelm took one of the earliest mercenary units to aid Dorasar in establishing New Pavis (even before Monrogh received Sun Dome County as a land grant), and he attracted a lot of the settlers to Sun County when he went there. (All this according to KoS: Jalk's Book, Making Gods)
>*How is the Duck's live in Sartar after Starbrow's rebellion?
Mostly hiding in Delecti's marsh or among Ironhoof's beastmen, or in isolated places, or running away, but definitely it's duck season for a while. Some find shelter with sufficiently powerful lords, quite similar to Eurmali at the same courts.
