I shall confine my comments to the three Carmanian Shahs on the list.
There is no reason to suppose any of the early Shahs left Peloria, although as the Paps is (are?) a highly magical place I suppose there is no reason why one or more of them should not turn up in heroquesty fashion.
At this time, Carmania is a second-rate power, consolidating itself after the defeat of the Spolite Empire and the consequent betrayal of the Pelandans; the concerns of Shah Carmandar and his young sons are largely internal, the long peace of Carmandar's fat and prosperous reign concealing tensions which the coming civil war will resolve. I don't really want them jaunting off to Prax -- it's about as reasonable as requiring Pavis to have visited Kitor, IMO. (No, Ian, I don't mean that Pavis visited Kitor...).
Incidentally, I have for years looked forwards to analysing Carmanian reactions to a first encounter with EWF loyalist Zebra Riders, but this is sadly too early. ("They use black and white, together, for Deception!?! Slay them and their foul steeds!")
