I'm disagreeing with the claim that Brithos has translated into Solace (or something similar), not the claim about the City of Malkonwal.

There's a problem with this in that the 'alleged' Brithini who settled on the western coasts of Genertela were actually exiles and suchlike forced out from the pure land of Brithos. So why would God Forgot be colonized by pure Brithini believers so far from home? Also the Waertagi were friendly to all Malkioni in the beginning and not just the Brithini. Malkion was their father and he had crossed the seas.
IMO the Brithini belief came about after Zistor was killed and the people realized that they had no contact with the Otherside and thus became fearful that they had lost their chance at Solace. The Malkionized God-forgotten then tried living according to reconstructed beliefs about Brithos so they could live longer until a solution for their predicament could be found. After the Great Setback during the Dragonkill War (Uz Lore mentions that the True Golden Horde was intent on stealing the magical powers of the newts for themselves), they became resigned to living in their current lifestyle for now.

Why would the Waertagi tell the God-Forgotten that they are descended from Malkion and not anybody else?
