Comrade Trotsky mentioned in passing:
>Aram-ya-Udum (one of the founders of the EWF, apparently)

A leftover where the history of Dragon Pass from the boardgame Dragon Pass was Gregged. If you look at that text as a Gloranthan (4th Age or 5th Age) document, the author evidently got mixed up between the EWF and the Third Council, which he seems to have confused with the First Council, the time when Aram lived and died.

Aram was the holder of the human seat at the Dawn World Council of Friends. He sat there by virtue of his status as (heroic) lover of Kero Fin, Goddess of the land, and owner of Kero Fin's necklace (a possibly magical token of his love). Aram mastered the God-child Gouger the Pig sent by the goddess (IMO when the human population ravaged the wild nature) and created the Ivory Plinth altar. He died in 176 ST.

Aram had no direct hand in the creation of the Tusk Riders, but he provided the basis for their cult. Thus his part in creating the EWF was historical, not actual, since he had been dead for about 400 years.
