Actually, if they are real-world based, I am more inclined to accept them for Teleos. And you're right, you can't beat the RW for weirdness.
Hmm, if it is silver hats, which tribe does it? Silver is too garish with green or red, and doesn't show up well with yellow. Don't even _mention_ orange. So, this should be a Blue tribe thing, I suggest -- silver looks cool with blue. Unless you _like_ garish, I suppose, in which case I recommend it go to the Greens.

Unless I misunderstand Pamaltelan history, Doraddi and Masloi stock are the same. As for language, the write-up specifies that Teleon has no relation to any other Gloranthan language.

I understand that Sandy said this. I just happen to disagree with him on this point. The write-up, though unpublished, does not mention such an important point. And it makes the Teleons more interesting to have always been this way. I don't the Child Trade Meeting Ground could have evolved so recently, for one thing.

I like this idea much better -- I can accept the lack of prejudices better than the lack of color. Good call.

Per Gloranthan Bestiary, shoveltuskers are specifically found in Pamaltela, though it doesn't say exactly where.
