Sarotar is a son of Saronil. Tesarin's kids are Loricon, Darnangle, Eonislora and Tarkala. And KoS p140 says that Tesarin's son married a women chieftain of the Tovtaros, rather than the Princess of Farpoint. Upon doing so, _Tesarin_ became Warlord of the Aldachuri (c.f. Tesarin's titles in KoS p43) and after him was Salinarg. So it seems to me that Tesarin took advantage of a vacancy (or scandal) in the post of Warlord.
Yes, there's two Princes of the Aldachuri during the Tarshite Civil War (Tarkalor the Huge of the Princeros and Tovtarsar Gaptooth of the Tovtaros) but Tarkalor was the one who formed the Tribal Ring. But the nature of the Aldachuri confederation seems to have changed over time (Warlord and Prince are not exactly synonymous AFAIK).

Where exactly is Ghost Gors?

That's right! They deliberately head-butted the rocks we threw at them...

King of the Vantaros Tribe, I think, unless you mean he was also Warlord of the Aldachuri?

The Temple to Yanafal of the Seven Mothers was built after "the fall of Aldachur" (Cults of Prax p40), which implies a date of 1602.
