I agree Harald Smith has changed many along with ILH authors and Greg's whimsical nature. (Like the shifts of location of Kareiston's Temple and Hortugarth from Enclosure #2 to Wesley's Imther Map, etc...) and I don't know whether Imther is in the definition of area of "Saird" or not.
"No, we are not Orlanthi and we don't revere cattle needlessly. Our cheese
is gift from the Night Wyrm (Daimon of Fermentation), not White Cow (Source
of Milk itself)." See the stories of Harald Smith on Mything Links by Oliver
Bernuetz.

Enclosure #2: Vanch Geography and Emperor Mahzanelm
[As far as I read Harald's Hilltown Kharex lists, I am not sure this title is there since Dawn Age, though this list head has Divine Ancestor Imthus and Aidea as Firsts. Next Dynasty, Valusi was Youf age contemporary, so it might be proof that Kharex was not used in Dawn Age, at least in the sense of Modern Age. ]

Harald's definition of Imtherian Society
Marl = clan
Marex = clan leader [In Enclosure #2 p.26, Marex is also a title of Tribal
Leader in Dawn Age, I don't know whether Imtherians distinguish tribe from
clan, or the meaning of term changed since that ancient days. The listed
tribes, Rebanni, Dazorda and Tusori all died out. Only Hesperi remained?
(Mahzanelm was killed by Lokamayadon.)]
Pilex = governor (a DH title) [4 Pilex(s?) can be found at same time. Maybe
attributed to Four Guardians of Khelmal?: Sidherius, Central Mines,
Rhynopolis, Blackwall (after New Lolon was taken by Vanchites.)]
Kharex = king (a variant on a DH title) [Today, King Margor 4th of Grigor is
the one.]
Currently both Vanch and Holay are eager to take land from the Kingdom without heir.
Unfinished 21 Marls of Imther and their centers, important cults and
cheeses. [Maybe Harald has added many marls since the older setting.]
Costellon: Stout Heart?
Archite: Northern Outer Hills
Rhynite: Rhyndpolis? [Red Rhynopolis?]
Hesperite: Daughter's Rose
Gobingon: Hillton
Prajali: Grimorta Mtn.
Khurmai: Uisu's Rest?
Borkan: Divide Hills, Aryael River? Zarkon: near of dwarven Central Mine? [Vakthan's Blue & Goat Cheeses?] Grigor: Koradhama Mtn.?, Blackwell (Royal Marl?)Polan: Mia Phora Mtn.?

Daltach: Wine Hills & Red Wine Ford
Mastime: Tumbled Wall, {Mastus}
Extinct
Rebanni: Destroyed by Emperor Mahzanelm (see above)
Dazorda: Destroyed by Emperor Mahzanelm
Tusori: Destroyed by Emperor Mahzanelm
Ronon?:
Laramite: Perhaps loyal to Jannisor, so punished by Lunars. Wilktar: Perhaps loyal to Jannisor, so punished. Somewhere of East Area?
Important Cities
Blackwell:
Hillton: Post of Current King and Queen
Hortugarth: See Codex #3 about factions, {Hortus?, Hwarin Dalthippa}
Kareiston's Inspiration: {Khelmal , Kareiston} Count Nightcrest is the ruler

Then, what is the city of Urar Baar (City in the map of Enclosure #2)?
