Andre is probably right, the Arkats will be one of the big aspects of the Hero Wars. (Also note that Ardinyar Kocholangsson ends up fighting in Dragon Pass.)
For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure one of the Arkats is Arkat Liberator, better known as Argrath. He'll pass through on his Westfaring. No doubt he will be the Argrath of the Barbarians; the other four will have factions among the Safelstrans.
I think there will be a big chaos outbreak from Dorastor, in a form that the Storm Bulls are ill-equipped to deal with. I forget what the uz are planning, but as a Naskorion-hater (they love accordion music there!), I'll bet the Duke will be unhappy. If I run Hero Wars era Ralios, something surprising would probably come up from one of the lakes.

Is there something east of Prax?
Oh that's right, there's a land where Jrusteli adventurers boot out the obviously weak and corrupt emperor and take over. I'm just starting my Jrusteli game, so it'll be a while before my players get there, but any thoughts about this takeover would be useful. This is not an everyday occurence in Kralorela -- how do the peasants and bureaucracy take it?
Another Jrusteli question I have is about the Six Legged Empire. This has been described as an offshoot of the God Learners, in part because their monomyth didn't work well in Pamaltela. But I don't have any idea where it started (over the mountains from Umathela? From the eastern coast?) or even what it was called (this obviously wasn't what they called themselves).
Back to East of Prax: were there any geologic changes there which would cause me to revise the "standard" map for the Second Age? The changes I'm aware of are all in the west: Jrustela, Slontos, and Seshnela sinking; Brithos's disappearance, and the addition of the Kingdom of War to Fronela. (I vaguely remember there may be a new island as well, perhaps the Vadeli?)
