Aldryami are NOT a part of the Solar culture. They are best described as animist and they worship the sun the way a plant does. The aldryami GROW. The Solars RULE. The two are similar but hardly identical.

Maybe. I don't think that the Aldryami have clans. They are very, very different. And they are not 'elves' I think, yes?

The Lunars appear to have never cooperated with the Aldryami. For one thing, the Aldryami want to reforest (not colonize) the whole Pelorian basin. They want it ALL back. Check into 'elder race plots' section in the HW: GLorantha book.

To have an alrdryami forest, you have to have a sacred grove. That has to be planted and grown. That's how they colonize, I THINK. Plantings and seedlings and long, slow plans that bear fruit.... Not invasions or coloniziing expeditions.

They think like trees because they are trees. And they live a very, very long time.
