For those who aren't familiar with King of Sartar (KoS). This quote comes from "Argrath's Saga". The less unreliable Composite History of Dragon Pass (CHDP) places this event while Kallyr is still active (p153-4) and does not credit Argrath with being involved (even though it has a pro-Argrath bias and wouldn't leave something like that out). Minaryth Purple is listed as present and he is a follower of hers according to material collected in Jalk's Boook (p235) and so is Orlaront Dragonfriend.
Minaryth Blue credits the DragonRise to Orlaront Dragonfriend (p212) Interestingly Minaryth Blue has Kallyr surviving until 1630 while CHDP places her death in 1626. (which is one of the pieces of evidence that Kallyr may be credited with rather less than she should be).
In the Sky-ship scenario in _Gathering Thunder_ Minaryth Purple and Orlaront Dragonfriend are both working for Kallyr.
