I don't believe Jofrain, Alakoring and Siglolf were all contemporaries...but if it is saga of RW feudal europe, the authors don't mind true history....yeah, Oberon is Caesar's son. Queen Gloriana inherits the blood of Troy...

How do you want to express guilty feeling and lunacy derived from agony in magical world, it might take form as furies pursuing Orestes after he killed his mother...? There is no heortling "Styx" Myth in separated glorantha of HW after RQ, (though some humakti myth seems to still remain "the Oath of Styx" in their tales.)

Sorry for my terrible english, I mistook "frequent" and "fluent" in my last post about Arkat.

How Alakoring flew over the Rockwood Mountain 880-910? (Imperfect)

 Reference: Grettir's Saga & Egil's Saga? Malorey: Lunacy of Lancelot? Bondless Mercenary, David in Old Testament ....or Turin of Tolkien? (Exile by Outlawed)

 At night, Alakoring sneaked into the middle of Shrine of Narnarra at Kilwin and destroyed completely, and put upon the Statue of Orlanth Dragonslayer, Orvanshagor. No one could realize that, At next morning, everyone of Kilwin knew he was there was terrified by his this terrible act and the vengeance of the future.

 Aringori already drove the Agent of Reprisal for abusing the hospitality rule by Draconic Magic, Wyrmblade then succeeded the throne of Delela but could not feel relief from it, for he saw Alakoring survived for Orlanth's support. While Elagor asked his brother, Ormsword vibrated on his waist.

 "It seems we see what we feared. I order you now to pursue and kill him as my champion."

 But Fergus grimaced,
 "But I don't want to damage him any more, he got enough from us."

 Elagor said to his brother,
 "We know well about him, do you think we can make him resign himself from vengeance for the death of his lord and his mother? His mother was bitch."

 Firebreath sadly said, "I cannot help saying his mother was a bad woman, but I don't think he will abandon his plan to avenge us. OK, I'll try to kill him before he would get enough power to avenge us. Though don't think such affair please me." And the brothers parted, while Fergus went west, Wyrmblade flew over Rockwood and went to EWF.

 The vast Treasury they brought to Saird was sunk beneath the riverbed of Lendarian(?), it formed the shape of serpent through Alchemic Magic of EWF, Elagor ordered his spies in Lankstan Land to spread lies about Alakoring. And the head of Alakoring was priced by Delelans. Alakoring didn't try to vindicate himself and fled from Lankst and the delelan spies.

 The brothers slandered Alakoring and spread rumors about how Alakoring betrayed his own lord by assisting his kin, some say when he stole some of gold from Delelans, he was outlawed from his father's family, too. Some truly hated Delelans, others got angry to him by losing the treasure and want to deliver him to Delelans. Alakoring didn't try to dispel their misunderstanding.

 Outlawed Alakoring called himself "Harmast" (Both Harmast and Aringor was once merely a wanderer of wildness...?) He reluctantly made a terrible oath before the God of Loyalty (Name?) which abruptly appeared in his nightmare. He didn't have enough self-confidence about the responsibility of his Lord's death. He would kill all of Aringor Lineage...it includes himself, if he is truly not son of Orlanth.

 Alakoring went solitary everywhere of Lankst for he felt a sense of guilty, and he avoided the truthsayers of Lhankoring and Humathi, for he wanted to be blamed for the death of his mother and his lord. And the lie of Delelans spread among the Lanksti and blamed him while he met other Orlanthi, threw stones to him until he proved his Loyalty, except few wise men.

 The Spirit of Rage stormed his valor and it blamed incessantly about why he broke his oath to guard him. Alakoring could not trust gods about this affair. For he knew that Orlanth bestowed mortals free of soul. Alakoring wandered the wildland with his followers as if he were mad men and tried to read the sign of storm gods over his land, as Harmast and Aringor did in Corolaland and Vustria.

 Alakoring and his warband was hired by Safelstan soulsackers, foreigners and even trolls. But Alakoring tried to begin a his "father"'s way before Delelans would find him.

 Sword Ring of Humathi was secret society of Lankst, and infiltrated to both the politic of Safelstans and Lankstans, they were once under Makla Mann who was the Archon of Arkat and Otkorioni King, and after Stygian Autarchy collapsed, they didn't follow anyone except themselves, and they intervened even Ballid Elven Wood Council and prevented Delela from unifing under one banner against Delelans.They believed Humakt is greater than Orlanth.

 They followed only Vadrudi Rule and Swordmaster. Though Jofrain's word had been heeded, it is only because he managed to kill their grandmaster in duel after long days of Humakti monopoly to the rank of Swordmaster and robbed him the Flameless Torch and the rank. After they noticed Jofrain was killed in Delela, they tried to take back from Alakoring. So they didn't say to people he was innocent though they could feel his Truth.

 But Alakoring didn't fear them and once he founded where they gathered, he solitary visited there in the Day of Dark Season and demanded their fidelity to Swordmaster, and no one could dare to challenge single combat, they imposed him very difficult mission for their loyalty. So Alakoring was ushed into Ballid Forest where once Arkat came and drew their assist against Nysalorian Empire.

 (Elf King of Ballid, Lestus Creeping Ivy was long the foe of Lanksti since Rohorjan and Aalard raided Ballid Forest. He supported Arkat Crusade when Arkat brought the message of Brithos Forest. (Pact with Elder Wild? Tobosta)) Humakti told Alakoring that if he could defeat the Giants of Nida who bothered both Dwarves and Elves from the Peak, they would plea their loyalty to him as a Swordmaster.

 At that time in Midwinter and snow fells, Fergus also heard about Alakoring and Humakti came there. He led another Warbands and commanded to attack them when Humakti reached the valley of Echoes near of Nidan, where the snow and Blizzard raged. And while the two warband fought fiercely, Avanlanche and Hollri raged from the mountains and gulped down them.

 Alakoring found himself and Fergus in the Circle of Giants (?), where he could only find escape route by defeating all of opponents or Death. he also found his cousin Fergus, others were all dead. Firstly Alakoring thought to kill Firebreath, but anyway he didn't want to kill his old friend and he didn't want to reduce the possibility of survival, so Alakoring waked his cousin and asked his help.

 (In the Mountain of Nida, Alakoring and Fergus Firebreath fought for their survival against Frost Giants (Jolanti or Vadrudi? different from the point of view of storytellers) and Sword Kings (Humakti) (Dietrich and Hildebrandt?: Virginal Episode) Fergus' Breath helped to defeat their frost. And finally Alakoring met Humakt while he met his brothers Vadrus and Orlanth over the Peak of Cruelty.)

 Alakoring got Immortality when he defeated the God of Death for Orlanth.
(Still Storm Brothers of Orlanth opposed their youngest brother? on the Nida
Peak Hero Plane?) and Alakoring called down Four Wind (Seven Wind?) at the peak of Storm Pillar? in Nida, Humakt himself admitted Alakoring was innocent.

 Orlanth's counselor Lhankoring taught him about Balarzak Leatherwing and how he could flew over the Rockwood and died soon after it. He taught Alakoring about Telmoria and Talor, Kartolin Path. Alakoring asked Orlanth how he could defeat the wyrms in their heart. After that, Humakti swore their fealty to the New Swordmaster and Alakoring came to the Throne of Jofrain for a while, but he didn't stay there long, because he didn't like responsibility and seduction of it.

 Fergus was permitted to safely go back his home but warned his death when he would meet Alakoring again.

 In Safelster, Arkati Survivors (Alakoring helped their hiding?) still survived relying upon their alliance with trolls. One of their sorcerer was Alakoring friend, Mannus Coldhand through their allegiance, Elves and Dwarves also agreed to fight against Ormsland and Delelan Wyrmfriends
(Alakoring told dwarves that Delelans and Orms stole their treasure....)

 (Put on History of Malkioni (souleaters): Sweet Lie of Derinogs Pistol to Talastaring emigrants? Nysalor Empire.)

(There were worst atheists living in Kingdom of Nomia, Siglolf adviced
Alakoring to exploit them through his Godlearner ally. (Sorcerer Halwal = Greed to Secret of Ormsland or Arkat (after Nisaro Flamsword could not find the Arkat's location.)) Alakoring was reluctantly convinced by his plot.

 Arkat tricked Orthodox Malkioni through trollish manner. (Galvosti & Boristi?)

 Godlearners tried to divide the Arkat Unified Magical System trough their New Method of Categorization and Rune Use. Trolls hid the Secret of Arkat in Guhan Hill...Siglolf tricked Nomians for the dealing of secret and military support. (See recent debate for God Age in Glorantha Digest 2002/05)

 Galvosti did many mad experiment under the order of Godlearners to Pagans. Siglolf got power by rescuing such souls but was later trapped such cage by the Archmage Halwal. Their last aim was demonologic control over Arkat and Stygian Sorcery. But they also could not reveal whole of Arkat Mystery.)

 Galvosti secretly exploited Arkat Shrine against their master's will
(Godlearners) Siglolf found it and threatened them about it, Galvosi helped
the army in the exchange with the silence of Alakoring. (Sactric & Corum? by Moorcock?)

(Insert Orlanthi View of Argrath Court for conflict between Stygian Arkati
and Godlearners (Orthodox Malkioni?) Don't forget Ralios is Bad Place for Sartar Orlanthi. (Trolls and Sorcerers are friends of Alakoring!) Siglolf exploited nomian Galvosti through God Learners and stole their secret, but backfired and enslaved later?)

 At Vustria, finally Army of the Two Orlanthi Nation crushed. Battle between Delelans and Lanksti, and many nonhumans and sorcerers joined. But Alakoring killed Dragonfriends through his secret warbands of Humakti. Alakoring killed Vesene Raventongue after he won the Battle but he could not find the King of Delelans, Wyrmblade because he already fled from Ralios into EWF. Fergus also escaped from persecution and went to beyond the mountain over the back of Dragons. raventongue spat to Alakoring and cast curses until he decapitated her. And his army invaded Ormsland and captured the Strength of Flame, Inhuman King of Ormsland.

"Who is my father?" Alakoring asked the Dying Inhuman King, "Ask the token of your father..." "But my Ormsword was taken by Fergus, damn  to his kin!"

 Alakoring slashed the magic of the Flame, and sparked.

 By the Last shock, the sword of Jofrain was shattered by draconic magic. But it was too much shock for the Strength of Flame, he broke his oath and went back to Capertine and the city of Inhuman King was destroyed, Lizard People of Gita Flatsnout was also decimated and their network of Draconic Ascension was also destroyed.

 Alakoring melt down the broken sword of Jofrain, Flameless Torch and reforged it into his Iron Crown for enthronement, as a lesson for him and light without any responsibility. The Crown was too heavy for anyone to wear long time. (Later it became the Crown of Balazar.)

 After Alakoring entrusted the Throne of Lankst to Siglolf, he called on Greatest Storm which no one have known since that day which he got over the Peak of Nida. Though Giants of Rockwood tried to grasp his Army before he could pass over them, Alakoring blew down them with Four Storms and Mastakos and Vanganth helped his Army. Inside the Eye of Storm, he called Thunder and Lightning which taught the people beyond mountain he was coming as an agent of his "father", and trolls of Halikiv and Charmilla's Band also followed his Storm over the narrow way of Cliff of Rockwood.
