The Feldichi were mysterious beings that lived in Dorastor before the Darkness. They left several ruins with amazing artifacts, including the wonderous Pseudocosmic Egg - which formed the basis for the rituals that created Osentalka the Perfect One (aka Nysalor).
The Gold Wheel Dancers (also called Gold Wheel Spirits or Yardoni) were mysterious beings that survived the Darkness (but not apparently the First Age). They were part of the original Unity Council. We know of two by name - Speaking Wheel, who was part of the original Unity Council and mysteriously disappeared in 375. The other was Florencia Sillinhalia, who was the lover of Gwalynkus the Good and mother of Golden Fintalen, who organized all the markets of Dorastor and the cult of Issaries too.

Sure. One is Gbaji and the other is Rashoran.... :)

I am pretty certain Porscriptor had nothing to do with the Feldichi. His cannibalism was a perfect normal reaction to the Great Darkness....

Of whom I am agnostic about.
