My fault for not being clearer. What I meant here was one of the recently (ca. 1613) exiled Sartarite families who participated in Starbrow's Rebellion, probably a child of Kallai "Rockbuster" Korlmhysson. Admittedly, "that and a guilder will get you an ale," but not from the character's POV. Also, it builds into a Sartarite Succession subplot.

*sigh* That's what I started to do, but I was hoping that someone had already done the work for me :)

This kind of nit-picking is what got Salonar Tamaskil, author of the Book of Drastic Resolutions in trouble. I question, though, whether or not Orlanth is already geared up for this "liberal" sort of thinking, since in the published myths he's the one who comes up with something new (as do his Heros, such as Sartar, Orlaront, Alakoring, etc.)
