        Oh come on, the GLs didn't get to Peloria, we've been over that before. Blocked by the proto-Carmainians & EWF.

        As for Thelayan Council influence, that has stronger possibilities. The problem is that you are concentrating too much on anal-retentive Yelmies. You can be sure the Carmanians didn't charge into the Dragon Pass wars to smash a Yelmic boogey man. Neither did the Blue Moon Plateau Trolls. All this guff about smashing Rebellus Terminous is just pushing the buttons for the Dara Happans; makes 'em want to go along with the others who want to;

a) smash their neighbors (Tarsh)
b) pillage their ancestral enemies (Vanch & Saird)
c) make contact with Dagori Inkarth (BMP trolls)
d) open up trade routes to the sea (Carmania and lots of others)
	And there were probably a lot of other, lesser reasons.
