The conspiracy was a Fronelan one, not just Loskalm. Many of the Conspirators and the God came from outside Loskalm. Where the God was killed is apparently a Secret.

The Syndic's Ban happened some four hundred years later (1500 ST).

The region was not unremarkable, it literally did not exist prior to the Ban (much to the confusion of Loskalmi geographers).
