This is the sense I use the term in East Ralios.

Not that I'm aware of. Also, I wouldn't put Harmast on Arkat's side. Remember that he went for Talor because he was unhappy with how Arkat turned out.

I don't know if Morden was truly a hero -- he was certainly a god-talker who could heroform (Breken).

Darn, Enclosure 2's been Trotskyed!

I'm sure they weren't native, but I'm surprised none were imported; I'd think they could have survived on the north coast. (We know horses were imported, and a few survive to this day.)
