Harmast brought back Arkat, who turned to Darkness, then he did it again and brought back Talor, who laughed a lot. The idea of Arkat eclipsing the Bright Empire is a nice one, but whether this was intentional or a mistake, I'm not sure.

Orlanth probably fought with Wachaza during the Well of Wisdom Quest. Worcha was another, different, deity whom The Thunder Rebels defeated early on in the Storm Age.

Did Orlanth gain Mastakos here? I know he took a drink from the Well of Wisdom that made him realise how foolish he had been, but I can't remember if he picked up his charioteer here. I would think that Mastakos came from another trip to the seaside.

Yes, Orlanth could not have survived the test in Hell without having undergone the baths of Nelat ordeal first. I think that this probably applies to anyone performing the LBQ, htye have to have performed Baths of Nelat first.
