Joerg's source for the Kethaa goddess/ Entru god is the Runequest Companion. However since a large nation in Kethaela has an agenda in showing that men are hopeless, it might be no surprise that the myth of a ruling earth god has been replaced by a sanitized version of a goddess.

Tradetalk #4 has the Entruli (which it calls Hsunchen although I have my doubts about this) being six tribes (Ramali, Heerili, Maniri, Weneli, Drorgarites and Vathmai), most of which were driven westwards by the Vingkotlings.
Thunder Rebels p145 instead says that Kethaela was "occupied by the Earth people and later by the Vingkotlings". To the west of Kethaela (during the Storm Age) is a land called Sevid which "Orlanth recovered from the waters and gave to Ernalda his wife".
>Are the Entruli matrilineal like the Esrolvuli?
AFAIK the Entruli are not matriachal (although quite a few of them may be matrilineal clans).
>Is it a post-Helm&Shield-Saga myth?
No. The Entruli are around before the Vingkotlings set themselves up.
