I doubt that there were Brithini sorcerers in Arolanit before the Dawn, except perhaps in an obscure Waertagi port without any hinterland. There were exiled Brithini scattered along the shore of Seshnela, with Neleoswal and Frowal the known centres.
The myth of Malkonwal was witnessed by those of his followers who had not attained the perfection for Solace. Some chose to strive for that perfection, and became what we know as Malkioni. Others

Those who had fled from the Glacier obviously failed to believe that their world was the best possible world. Ok, it is a bit problematic to remain logical about ploughing frozen ground and throw the seeds into snow just because the plan prescribes these actions to be performed at this part of the cycle...

And weren't under the closer GL definition, either, IMO. Their rulers at least were, however, descended from the Brithini, and came to the Leftarm Isles on Waertagi ships, IMG.

Told to them by their Waertagi trade partners until those were wiped off the oceans?

And still, there could be some kernel of truth in such claims, in that the early Italian states had some Greek influences, possibly through immigrants. Brutus the Trojan - well, there were people who had seen the Mediterranian who came to trade Cornish tin during the Late Bronze Age. Troja claimed to have Phoenician allies...
The myth of direct descent is probably as constructed as the King of Mercia's claim to be descended from Odin (and that was constructed around the 7th century AD in christianized Britain).
