        I think Waertagi (who have travelled up the Janube, the new river created by Waertagi magic, from Sog) are very likely candidates for blue people. I agree that Artmali from virtually the entire opposite side of the world are very unlikely to the blue people here.

        I think the Banthites are probably not human at all, but probably malasp mermen. They help the Helerings and Vadeli attack the Tadeniti, but by this stage the Tadeniti are already surrounded by water, mermen would be valuable allies to the helerings (who have their own water powers) and Vadeli. The modern malasps are ruled by Terthinus the Voice of the Deep, who is the grandson of Banthe.
