Me:
>>Change the first landing place of Alakoring...(from Aggar to >Brolia?)
Peter:

From GTA Initiate Archive
Dragonpass History:
<<c. 910. Alakoring comes to "Aggar"
The Great Leader came flying over the impassable "Nidan" Mountains, (snip)
>>
Nida or West Rockwood? Or Alakoring's flight was so long more than I had supposed.
>The Telmori didn't reach Dragon Pass until 1470 when they killed
>a King of Tarsh.
Peter's DP Timeline:
<<1470 ST Illaro Blacktooth dies while attempting to become King of Dragon
Pass. His son, Tastinim is enthroned as King of Tarsh. Sartar enters Dragon
Pass [KoS]. >>
I don't know why you think he was killed by werewolves. Though certainly Hauberk John and Telmori fought hard each other...
There is a library where Hachrat Blowhard ravaged Molorios....
Residents of Yolp Mountain:
Wendarian People of Northwest (Tales #16 Oronin Valley p.49 Mount Gestinus, South Pillar of Five Sacred Mountains)
Darjiin Manimati refugees from Shargash and Kazkurtum (GROY Manimati Cities p.35, Enclosure p. 56-57 Manimati Dynasties) In Wesley's Lunar Map, Dezokon and Ostodaka survive till modern age. How about the realationship between Darjiinite and Yolp Digijelms? In Classcal Cosmology of Glorantha, water is associated to darkness, but fire and darkness are never friendly to each other.
Trolls of Yolp (Book of Drastic Resolution: Darkness p. 66-68, See also
James Frusetta Site: the map of Yolp)
They are the recent dominant race of Yolp Mountains, (I don't know what is
the Mistak Mountain of Wesley's Lunar Map) maybe they drove Manimati from
mountain peaks in Great Darkness...
