Except the Inhuman King should be on a level with Argrath (~10W3), not Harrek. Which makes approximatly:
Noble 18W2
Priest 5W2
Warrior 13W
Scout 20

Yes, the only people equalling Harrek at 10W4 are Jar-Eel and Androgeus. From the Dragon Pass board game we have Argrath, the Red Emperor, Gunda, Beat Pot, the Inhuman King, Craigspider, Delecti, Sir Ethilrist, Ironhoof, Jaldon, the Dwarf and the Feathered Horse Queen. They should all be at about 10W3 although The Inhuman King and Delecti could be a bit higher. The Nomad Gods game probably has some more heros from the Prax area and there will be others elsewhere. There will be troll and elf heros at this level but only where there are large groups of those people.

I've not seen any stats for Ralzakark but I'd imagine he's about the 10W3 level as a notable hero.
