My main reason for disbelieving a 1600 year old non-Brithini are just that: there shouldn't be any non-Brithini (or non-Vadeli) humans from before the Dawn around. If that were the case, I am sure it would have been mentioned about Leonardo...

Do I have to spell out sarcasm everytime I use it?

The "perfect order" was my way to illustrate that the History chapter (which starts with a myth older than the Esrola myths...) doesn't take too much pains to give exact dates, or to care much whether things happened before or after the Dawn.

My point.

For all we know, the Waertagi can have arrived at any time convenient for a history. For my ideas of the history, it works better if the Leftarm Islanders had found a non-theistic philosophy by the time the Lightbringer deities return triumphantly - an impact which should have convinced even the disillusioned Leftarmers.

I know I have no proof, but I know nobody else has, either.
