I have been trying to read Germany "World Greatest Tounament (1996)". It
seems that some interesting facts can be found in this booklet for the
Kingdom of Nomia, Alakoring Orbuni Clan and Ingolf Garanazar clan. (It seems
many new ideas induced in this freeform, like the Naskorion Duke, etc...)
Perhaps I should speculate the difference of European Glorantha and American
Glorantha....

Martin Laurie used this term in his Gwandorlinga Saga (though I know you might not admit his stance.) for people of Kocholang and Garundyer. http://www.celtic-webs.com/glorantha/campaigns/gwandor/saga/gwandor65.html

I think it is "Windy Hill" in Tales #12, but I don't have any Tales before
Issue #10....

Or North Germany and South Germany? It seems the magical power of Kocholang
(Fire Breathe) is that of Dietrich von Bern....
I think there is rivlary between Lankstans and Delelans... Irish is good for
Delelans, so...

And I can add Harandros Ironbrain from Avalonhill Genertela Box. Some "near-Unofficial" source taught me Siglolf Cloudcrasher and Jofrain Nightburner were also Lankstans if they were not accepted foreigners through Orlanthi Custom.
