I agree, just hadn;t occurred to me in relation to Argrath and his killingof Lunar tax collectors.

Probably. Makes you wonder if Garrath is actually Garrath's real name. It's obviously theo ne he's always used in Prax - see the Garside (I think) contest. But it doesn't mean that that is the name by which he was known in Sartar before fleeing.

You can argue either way. But if he changed it, he changed it before the Lujnars conquered Prax.
