How much influence did the Jrusteli have in Caladraland? I know they had a presence in Karse and a few of the coastal cities of what is not the Holy Country, but when they first arrived, this was all part of the Shadowlands. Did they make any inroads into the Shadowlands?

It all depends on how much the Volcano Twins mythology was changed/invented. If the Twins were simply children of Lodril before the GLs started messing about, then perhaps there were myths in both Caladraland and Aurelion about the gods' relatives. It is always easier to start with a core of myth and add on to it rather than create everything from scratch.
Perhaps the Jrusteli had some Aurelion myths regarding a volcanic sibling, then when they arrived in Caladraland they encountered the volcano gods there and recognised the relationship between Caladra and Aurelion.
