Thank you for your answers.

Yes. I understand. You wrote me good explanation (below).
Jamie about 3rd Age Irensavelites:
>The Irensavelites they certainly didn't like, but not all
>Hrestoli are Irensavelite.
???
Should I interpret above as 3rd Age Irensavalites don't revere Hrestol,
either?
I expected most of 3rd Age Loskalmi are New Hrestoli and
Irensavalite.....their prophets are Malkion and Hrestol.
Please tolerate my limited English ability.
Below is my knowledge (maybe wrong?):
1)Most of 3rd Age Loskalmi are New Hrestoli. 2)Most of New Hrestoli are Irensavalites. 3)Irensavalites venerate Malkion (not as evil demiurge) and Hrestol asprophets.
Please teach me if I am wrong.

Your explanation sounds me true. IIRC, Ferbrith is the God of 1st Action in MSE p.4, God of 2nd Action is Kiona. But I suppose there is difference between "Middle Sea Empire" and "Revealed Mythologies" IIRC.
My question about "Ideal" age of Rokarism.
>> Possibilities are:
>> 1) Time of Malkion before he exiled to Malkionwal?
>> 2) Time of Malkion after he exiled to Malkionwal and died in

>> 3) Time of Hrestol's activity?
>> 4) Time of Return to Righteous Crusade(kionvara) just after
>> Abiding Book written?

Mmm, but still there is difficulty, for the duke of Rindland used "Crusade" ritual of Hrestol against his enemies at Asgolan. IIRC in Arcane Lore p.61, King Annmac prohibited its use except the one who meets Hrestol himself and gets his permission.
Or did Bailifes and Mardron use magic strong enough to break Annmac's prohibition?
Of course, I know you don't have all answers: Below is an example how Greg confused us again:
<<Tales #13, p.7 about Crusade:
When he[Hrestol] returned, he bore the sword named Justice of the Ages, into
whose hilt the + sign was cast.>>
<<Arcane Lore p.61 about Crusade:
When he[Hrestol] returned he bore the sword named Justice of the Ages, into
whose hilt the "Y" sign was cast.>>
Death rune turned into Truth rune.
