Hrestol, either?

The Loskalmi and the Immaculates are both Irensavelite and Hrestoli. The Castle Coasters are Hrestoli, but not Irensavelite. So the MSE can dislike the Irensavelites (the ancestors of the modern Loskalmi) without disliking all Hrestoli (many of whom are the ancestors of the modern Castle Coasters).

Hrestol himself was not an Irensavelite; that came later, notably from Tomaris. When LotW2 is eventually released, with its list of heresies against the Rokari Church, you'll see that the Hrestoli Heresy and the Fronelan Heresy (i.e. Irensavelism) are not the same thing - although the Loskalmi practice both, of course.

True.

If by 'New Hrestoli' you mean the Loskami Idealists, they are all Irensavelite - its a core part of the religion.

Correct.

Sorry, I meant that Ferbrith is the God who *performed* the Second Action, which means He would have first appeared during the First Action Era. Thus, Makan is the God of the First Action.

This I don't know the details of.
