Most likely. I think Ililbervor is the name in the Second and Third Age (since I have lots more material calling it Ililbervor than Iliabervor). Worcha was a misspelling by the chronicler.

Take your pick. You know that each Lhankhor Mhy Great Temple has a slightly different standard standard for spelling? Much like medieval Latin (which had wild variations in spelling of places and names) or pre-OED English.

Yep. BTW, there is a fair amount of material on the Garanvuli in the Book of Heortling History, including some material on some of their ancient kings, the demise of the tribe at Night and Day, and various other bits. But Whitewall is not Seriasdova.

They didn't. Whitewall was built in the First Age by Jan the Maker. The granaries, etc., were built by Jan and by a number of later (Second Age) Hendriking kings. And there's lots more history of the region (obviously) in the Book of Heortling History. Lots.
