        Do we have evidence that they have? They worshipped the blue planet, back when it was in the sky, but I don't think they ever made it to the plateau (though they did make it to both Melib and Slontos).

        There are clearly a range of different blue people, all with perhaps a water connection, but not much more - some are native, some are immigrants. All seem to be water beings - even though some are described as 'corpse blue' the blue colour seems to be related to water powers (rather than blue moon or even Blue Vadeli).

        I think the blue sorcerer people from the Entekosias are waertagi.

        I think there may have been Artmali ships riding the Great Flood. But I think it is less likely they sailed to the other side of the world.
