Sartar had dwarf help to raise his city walls between the mountains in Boldhome, and to make this stretch of road across the mountains. Some of his descendants had some help from dwarfs, but most did not. The mroads are mostly nice pieces of engineering done in a mundane manner.
Also, Sartarite "nationalism" was, as some have indicated, a deal made between the High King and some tribes. The ordinary people went along becasue their leaders told them it was in their best interest.
Jonstown Temple is formed by the CULT, not the tribes.

In fact, most of the tribes sent warriors to help the Lunars to defeat the Telmori. They said ti was to avenge the Maboder, but what people say and do are not always 100% congruent. They in fact hated and feared the Telmori, (as indeed, it is right to do. They are nasty!)

No, they were not.
Sartar establishe dthe cities.

I too think they are essentially the saem cultre as in 1300.
Sartar offered them an option that had not been present before.
