Before Shavaya, the Kralori list the Emperors TarnGatHa (called Aether in Gods of Glorantha and known to the East Islanders as Vith), HeenMaroun (called Yelm in Gods of Glorantha and known to the East Islanders as Goveranen) and Metsyla (known to the East Islanders as Osdero).

Metsyla ruled the Empire of Abzered which included Vormain and Teshnos as well as Kralorela before it was destroyed due to his shortsightedness (in the Kralori version at least - the East Isles version is recorded on Missing lands p24).

After Metsyla was drowned, Shavaya took over the rule of Kralorela and ruled wisely according to the precepts of NiangMao (Tentacles #2). He is not the Son of the Sun as far as I know nor even the son of Metsyla. The Solar Storm, however, might have been the son of Metsyla. Teshnos, I think, was controlled by the Loper People at this time from the Isle of Melib and Valzain is Emperor of Vormain.

>daruda:founder of dragonism

Between Shavaya and Daruda is listed Sekever, an anti-emperor from Ignorance. He really is thought of as an interregnum rather than a emperor in his own right.

>tharazuni:enemy of bliss ignorant,creater of inner-sea

Thalurzni actually exiled the Star Permutator, Shadow Cancer, Secret Waters and Earth Eater to Bliss in Ignorance rather than war against the latter land. IMO the four were allied gods of Daruda and legitimately controlled vast portions of Kralorela at the beginning of Thalurzni's realm. This time should be thought as one of spiritual purification or civil war instead of war against another country.

I haven't heard of him creating the Inland Sea before although he is stated to have created the ShanShan in the Genertela Book.

>mikadey
>vayobi

Between Mikaday and Vayobi, Sekever returns and causes major havoc. Vayobi spends time with the Blue Dragon of the Deep (known to the East Islanders as Harantara and mentioned also in ML p24) and returns with the secret of the War Dragons, otherwise known as the Imperial Army.

>vachanti

Vashanti.
