Arkat was ONE person, and his name became the title for "liberator" in the orlanthi realm of (at least) Dragon Pass.
For me (real world analogy):
Julius Caesar was ONE person, who did a lot of deeds, and changed history.
His name became the title for "Emperor".
There were more people called Argrath at the End of the Third Age. Maybe 3,
maybe 5, maybe 10, who knows...?
ONE of these Argrath got all the credit/was blamed for all the deeds of all
the Argrath´s.
For me (real world analogy):
Generals, consuls, etc. changed the city of Rome to the better, but only
Octavian / Augustus was credited in less detailed texts as responsible and
got the title of Caesar Imperator.
Only my two clacks...
