The nearest one is ~25 miles from the border. This is too far for cultural influence?

I think most of them date from pre-EWF, or from Lunar "encouragement" after Aggar becomes a Province. But YGMV.

That would be a great idea if they existed all by themselves on a peninsula. But they are, in fact, surrounded by people who would be only too glad to show them the errors of their ways.
In conclusion, I want to say that while reading back through the Digest archives recently I always found yours and Mark G.'s posts informative and helpful. My intent here is not to start an argument or anything, just to clarify some things in my own mind. I;m just returning to Glorantha after a decade=long absence, so I didn't even _know_ about Elmal until a month ago.
Thanks for the quick reply
