My gut suspicion is that, at least vastly predominantly, it'd tell "the story of" their Fronelan (pre-)history, but "informed by" Pelandan influences. (And hence, and otherwise, very different from other Fronelan takes.) There will be the odd weird case that specifically reckons in Pelandan co-descent in an explicit, significant fashion, but by the 85% rule, said generator should concentrate on the "main line", I'd have thought.

Cheers,
Alex.
