I knew that the other parallels wouldn't hit home. Varmand Montague and Orlev Capulet, anybody?
Peter takes exception at my:

>When did Sir Narib become a Pithdaran? Mularik Ironeye isn't

What kind of Rokari name is Narib? To me it has a definitely exotic ring to it.
And who said that Hunralki from Jolar was the only dark-skinned follower of Argrath? The Pithdaran Doraddi have been acculturated to an extent that their warriors call themselves knights, something I don't expect from Hunralki.
Anyway, what's wrong with having Sir Narib as a Pithdaran?
Allow people a bit of imagination, please, or give a good reason why that bit of imagination is wrong.

I agree to a certain extent, given that the TEB uses stolen dwarf magic rather than Logician's magic.
Non-western tradition sorcerers:

>who are described as sorcerers.
Nothing is said about their origins, which could be anything, including a far-travelled splinter of Logician-derived magicians.
