I think that these tenets are largely a product of hindsight (the God Learners did this and came to a bad end - therefore it's wrong). FWIW dabbling with demons does take place in Fronela (cf the piccie of the Krjalk being summoned by the Wizard in GoG with the detail that they infested the borders of the Ban).

The notion that Malkion changed his mind and left is really a Zzaburi slur IMO. The Malkioni have been on the Western Coast of Genertela since the beginning of their recorded mythology and there were differences even then.

Very few IMO. Most of the population of Loskalm, erstwhile Seshnela and perhaps Slontos can claim to have lived there since the Golden Age (whereas Zzabur's betrayal of Malkion was a Darkness event). Much of the population of the Land of Logic was killed and the land itself sunk during the Great Darkness.
