Bad.

He is mentioned, just not in the old myths.

He didn't skip over Dara Happa. During the Storm Age, there were Storm worshipping peoples in the highlands that ranged from Kerofinela to Fronela. Hence there was a cultural horizon between the two places. This horizon didn't extend into Dara Happa because of the Light-worshipping gods of that period.

They flew.

No, from the Storm Age.
