Heartily seconded. A lot of sources have been added to our store of material eight years ago.

I hope that I can create a rewrite of my webpages as a side effect of this.

True. Not significant for much of the rest of the material, though.
Still, I'd like to see Broyan's history during Kallyr's revolt and before 1619.

True. Their role in Whitewall (introduced by John Castellucci's use of the Tarkalor campaign material played by Greg and Stephen Martin) needs to be investigated.
My latest info on them makes them a minor Only Old One-like Elder race.
How much of Tarkalor's actions do we need to know and take into consideration?
Has anybody read Robin Laws' Tarkalor saga, and can tell us more?

This sounds a lot like a local version of the index I am working on. I'll try to provide an extract over the weekend. Unfortunately the database engine of Yahoogroups is quite limited and allows no relational linking.

Yep. I propose to collect facts and factoids on the tribes of Whitewall.
We'll need to limit the direct quotations, though.
The Auroch Hill final map is a useful "blank map" for indicating positions until we get a better detail map.

It's a bit away from the exit of the Footprint (given as location of Seriasdova), but lacking other significant Vingkotling hill forts in the region, the identification seems sound.

Much of that's up to our creativity (or Gregly edicts). The Garanvuli are mentioned for the Dawn, but disappear from the documents afterwards. The Hendreiki start under the Broken Council, and include (at least one) Berennethtelli refugees.
