I'm pretty sure its also mentioned in the old Different Worlds special Mostali issue. I don't think you really deserve a beating for missing that, though (I think that means you just scored a normal success rather than a special). I think that might be the source of references for Mostali intervention, which I definately remember reading about somewhere long ago. The dwarves are largely responsible for the current state of the Machine City - the destroyed most of it after the inhabitants were killed, and then trapped what remained, with acid, gremlins, and various other terrifying Mostali creations.
I think if Orlanth was involved it seems logical the Orlanthi were as well, probably from Heortland. The God Forgot inhabitants were allies of the Machine City. I don't think you would have got Yelmists in the area. I was under the impression that the Waertagi were defunct by that point, and its only later they return, but there are better sources than me for the finer points of God Learner history.
Cheers
