According to Tradetalk #4, the Entruli were originally Hsunchen who lived in Kethaela. They consisted of six tribes: the Ramali, the Heerili, the Maniri, the Weneli, the Drorgalrites and the Vathmai. Since both the Drorgalrites in KoS and the Ramalians today are associated with pigs, the Entruli were originally swine hsunchen. It seems Mralot was the God Learner name for the Entra, the sow mother.
In the Storm Age, Vingkotlings drove all Entruli (save for the Vathmai and the Drorgalrites who swore friendship) westwards. The Drorgalrites later became the Harandings and betrayed the Vingkotlings at Arrowmound Keep (KoS p74).
The Harandings were present in the Dawn Age and lived on the borders of Kethaela (BCG p12), which probably means their descendants are the modern-day Ditali.
The Wenelians are shown in the Runequest Companion map as being west of the Solanthi which might mean that they are the modern Nimistori.
The Ramali ended up in Ramalia which leaves the Maniri and the Heerili unplaced. One might be ancestral to the Solanthi while the other might have lived on the Isles. The Vathmai originally lived in Kethaela but went westwards in the Dawn Age to free many slontans from Pralori raiders. They ended up founding the shortlived kingdom of Herolal which may have been in Bastis.
Aram-Ya-Udram lived around the Ivory Plinth and was a Heortling although his people (the Aramites) were not counted as one of the Heortling tribes.
