I have seen Article of Nick Brooke's "Horse Peoples of Glorantha" with great interest, but IMHO that still omit something...for Whole Body of Pentan Nomads.
Tendency to the Origin of Grazers currently almost shifted from "Theory of Saird (Funeral of Vuranostum Reaps over the Wall Emperor similarity to that of Grazers)
" to "Theory of Black Net of Aravan Argay". But that is still Problem of Origin of Etrulians or Ancient Indus Civilization of RW....Because we could not know it, and in a sense we don't want to know about it precisely.

I wrote World Dragon Korgatsu with Image of Great ShanShan Mountains, World Giant Ymir (or Chinese Pan-gu.) past. I wrote about Pentans as same as Praxians in this Scheme for Riding Animals.

Greg Stafford and his comrade Mr. Trotsky wrote about many of Gloranthan Horse Species and Knowledge. Still we don't do enough effort to link between discription of Pentans and Horses, Vuanso (Small), Sered (Middle), Churan
(Large coming from Palangso and Sered). Londarios Library
and Redline HIstory of Glorantha keeps some Website Information about them. Some of Tribal Name appeared in RH, Bao, Kroft, Huang, Davgarsh, Vay Hang as relatively friendly tribe of Pentans before Appearance of Sheng. Southern Peloria Opili Tribe visited.

That is completely IMHO parallel North Pent and South Prax: Kargzant///Storm Bull
Hyalor///Waha
Hippoi, Arandyla///Eiritha
Golden Bow Dastal///Tada

First Tribe: Happy Age
(Hero: Yamsur and Hyalor / Homeland: Flame Ridge of Axis Mundi / Horse:
Hyal, but Degeneration of Darkness made most of their blood weakened into Sered / Magic Style: Animist)
I think that People with Image of Noble Barbarian and Scythian, they lived Middle of Plentiful Pent under Guidance of Kargzant Great Chieftain of Great World Tent. Griffins and Hippogryph were Children of Kargzant and Vehicle of Gods.
But Evil came to Earth, and worst was Uzdom came from Hell Crack.. Hyalor was a descendant of
Yamsur, and he tamed Goddess Hippoi, former Hippogryph Goddess and then Horse Goddess for she lost her own Organs by Attack of Enemy Gods. Many scattered to Four Direction during Darkness. Wyrm's Footprint, Peter Metcalph once denied that Mythology to Natural of Pentan Origin for Yamsur coming from Genert Garden Myth of Praxians, but he also denied once Myth of Hippoi which lost her Organs.

Hyalor Horsebreaker [HIGH-ah-lor]
Yelm pantheon -- famous hero, now god of horsemen Hyalor Horsebreaker was a leader among men and a descendant of Yamsur. He once saved Hippoi, a crippled spirit, from death. Together they formed an alliance, Hippoi changed her name and identity, and now she is called Horse. Man got the better of the alliance, for ever since then her descendants have worked more for man than man has worked for the horse. Hyalor also performed other great deeds among men, namely those which eventually set apart a gentleman from those of lower class. Among the horsemen of Pent Hyalor is the model chieftain.

Western Scratchers: Grey Age
(Hero: Jenarong, Vuranostum (Dara Happa) Lendarsh (Pelanda) / Homeland:
Peloria Bowl / Horse: Hyal & Lenshi (Pelandan) / Magic Style: Theist suited to Pelorian Way)
They came to Western Land for Unknown Reason (Religious? Practical?), and they ruled / conquered / guarded Lowlander Farmers after Kuzkurtum. My image of them is White Huns of Attila, but Greg Stafford used Image of Charioteer of RW ancient Orient Rulers in GROY....They eventually lost their War with WCOF, Battle of Silver Flame, Argentium Thrielle. They returned to Sterile Mother Land and saw Sunstop.

Blood Drinkers: 1st Age
(Hero: ? / Homeland: North Eastern Pent Plain near Chern Durel?/ Horse:
Churan, but Sered and Ekus also coming to their Herds from Near Foreigners/ Magic Style: Dark Theist?)
They made Altar for Blood Drinker Kargzant who drank Blood of Dead during Night and used Blood for Splendor of Noon. Image: Huns? They annihilated for Unknown Reason. But their Custom making Altar of Blood Drinker went to Western Pent.

I wrote "Tale of Emperor Thalurzni" though Knowledge Leaker of Nochet prohibited to use it openly before Godlearners in Public. I should not make same mistake again for revealing Link of Ignorances and Pentans for Worship of Blood Thirsty Sun. Though I think Gathering Unconsciousness always linked to Glorantha Publishers. Because I wrote that before Secret Leakage of Obduran. (You know such Phenomenon was mentioned as Synchronicity by Pseudo Occultist Carl Gustav Jung?)

Gongarilli: 2nd Age
(Hero: Gongaril? / Homeland: Western Pent Plain/ Horse: Churan, Sered and
Others, but perfectly lost Herd of Hyal / Magic Style: Animist?) During Erzanestyu Dynasty of Dara Happa, General Castok made Cavalry Army against Horse Nomads and conquered them, (Always successful Military Masters without Political Power were killed by their Liege Lords feared his ability.) World always had changed after Dawn and little by little Power of Ancient Magic Weakened, so most of them abandoned Ancient Way which bestowed them Great Races of their Beloved Horse. And they started keeping Cattle and Sheep. But Some of them rejected to abandone Old Way and became Pure Horse Tribe.

Pure Horse Tribe: 2nd Age
(Hero: Joras Kyrem / Homeland: Prax and Great City of Giant Pavis / Horse:
Hyal (Very Small) and Others, and Joras made Zebras with help and compromise of Eirithans of Paps / Magic Style: Theists and Animists? Some of Pure Horse Tribe went to Southern Land answering with EWF request, Hero Joras became Leader of City Dwellers and made Pact with many Praxian Way and Imperial Way of EWF, one of his ally is Arinsor and Yelmalions of Bastard Dara Happan Way. But after EWF fell, they also was defeated before Uz and Praxians. Some of them escaped to Dragon Pass with Strange Magic? My Image of them is Avarians.

Another Pure Horses remained to Pentan Plain and became Char Uns later.

Meditators (New Blood Drinkers): 2nd Age
(Hero: Dijaar and his Five Friends? / Homeland: Eastern Pent Plain?/ Horse:
Horse: Churan, Sered and Ekus / Magic Style: Eastern AntiGod Style?) My Image of them is Oiglats, they lived between New Dragon Ring and EWF and struggled for survival of their Traditional Way with usage of Dark Methods? They became Fierce Antagonists against West and East Draconic Mysticism.

CharUns: Early 3rd Age
(Hero: Panishi, Orgrol? / Homeland: Erigia / Horse: Hyal (Very Small) and
Others, and recently they revived Winged Horses with Help of Hero Quest
(Myth of Hippoi?)/ Magic Style: Lunarize Theists and Animists?)
This Pure Hores Tribe became Ally of New Moon Queendom after Battle of Seven Horses but betrayed after Apotheosis of Rufelza, they became Friend of Jannisor during Dara Happan Rebellion. But Great Chieftain Panishi burned whole of Erigia with Skyburn, they became relatively peaceful to TakenEgi and his Court. My Image of them is "Notorious Cossacks" of Southern Russia.

Grazers: Early 3rd Age
(Hero: Feathered Horse Queens and Luminous Stallion Kings/ Homeland: West of
Dragonpass / Horse: New Hyal Golden Eye and Others / Magic Style: Animists?) Their Origin is Unknown and Some legends said Ancestors of them were Bane Centaurs escaped from Stiched Zoo collapsing during fall of EWF. (I think there is small possibility EWF created Bane Centaurs using Body of Southern Pelorian Horse Nomads who insisted their Ancestry to Hyaloring during Days of GROY and Emperor Vuranostum..Maybe Ironhoof helped them. King of Sartar.) But recent Majority agreed they escaped from Prax after Collapse of Arrowsmith Dynasty of Pavis. They became Slave Masters of Vendref and started Worship of Earth, and Kero Fin, FHQ. They became Ally of Sartar and Other Orlanthi with Magical Marriage.

Rivivalists: Middle Third Age
(Hero: Sheng Seleris / Homeland: Genertela, As Ghingis Khan of Cambarik, he
made his Capital Near Orathorn? /Horse: Sered, Palangso and Kralorelan / Magic Style: Dark Mysticism, Animist and Theist) They were Seleran Empire, Bursts and Rays ruled them. They are Great Enemy of Red Empire and Yellow Empire, antagonist of Yara Aranis and Godunya. But defeated by Battle of Kitor and successful Combat. HonEef and Maginificus massacred them with many way. Reverend Mother of Horse challenged to HonEel but was defeated either. Night of Horror ended with Death of 150,000 mans (Great Disastor as Dragonkill) for Orathorn Sorcerors and Lunar College Magic conjured Chaos itself on the Middle of Battlefield. Sheng still agonized himself in the Lunar Mystical Hell.

Neo Kargzanite: Late Third Age
(Hero: ? / Homeland: Middle Pent /Horse: Sered, Palangso and Kralorelan /
Magic Style: Animist and Theist)
They are Majority of Recent Pentans, some of them still want to return back and have tried to Heroquest Helping of Sheng Seleris.

Red Hair Tribes: Late Third Age
(Hero: ? / Homeland: Red Hair Camp? /Horse: Vuanso and Palangso / Magic
Style: Animist and Theist)
They are Bastard Tribe with Assistance of All Pentans who brought Red Hair Children to that Lunar Sympathizers. They guarded Trade Route of Kralorela and LE under Order of Red Emperor.

Storm Worshipers of Four Direction Wind: Late Third Age
(Hero: Bronze Sword Prophet / Homeland: Western Pentan Plain /Horse: Vuanso
and Palangso / Magic Style: Animist and Theist) IMHO, they are World Reaction or Backrush against Trial of Lunars who want to kill Whole Worship of Orlanth as Carmanian Worship of Invisible Orlanth at least in RQ3 Edition of Genertela Book. They rebelled against Kargzant Worship for it could not help War against Lunar Empire.

Other Horse Tribes, Pol Joni and Hsunchen Ralians also rode Horse but utterly Different Culture of Horse.

I think Pentans revere Celestial Lore as Middle People of Sky Pantheon...Dara Happa and Kralorela.
Once TakenEgi want to frighten Pentans and went to Hell of Pentans and return with "Gorgorma" 's Daughter.
Both DH and Kralorela revere the Sisters of Dendara and Gorgorma though I don't know they remind Planet Entekos and KataMoripi...Black Dendara of Storm Age.
See here more about Star List Name of Glorantha: http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~BLUEMAGI/NamesofHB-e.htm

Avoid them as much as you can, because the Three have very Big Body and always close risk to collapse Whole of Glorantha and Four World System of Hero Wars Game..
