I think you are both confusing the issue here. Veldang is a race, on a par with Wareran, Agimori and Kralori. The blue people of Fonrit are _a_ Veldang people, not _the_ Veldang people.
Both them and the lopers and who knows what blue people can all be Veldang without being especially close in culture.
Over to Teshnos and Teleos.

On the other hand, it says in the Teshnos section in the Genertela book that the Teshnans are Kralori (p. 84). In my Glorantha there are no Agimori Teshnans.

Teleosian myth says that Teleos is the centre of the world. I think it is just logical then that it also says that the Teleosians are the original human race. _All_ the other races are descendants who have devolved and got stuck with just one colour. The monochrome greens and violets and oranges no doubt died out during the Darkness.
