Agreed. The Pithadarans were Agimori (not Men-and-a-half) who, according to Gerfej de Arshu Fola (who wrote two centuries after the fact) came from Jolar. They took a huge fleet of strange ships (presumably not Waertagi) and called themselves the Army of Justice, claiming they were pursuing the depraved god Bolongo.

If they truly originated in Jolar (and not Kothar), then they probably started their voyage from Laskal or even Fonrit.

I suspect the Pithdaran attitude towards slavery reflects that of their neighbors.

Yomili was a foe of the later God Learners (who supported Tualon against his Yomili-backed cousin Englos). Yomili represented the anti-Malkioneran traditionalists. During this time, the One Inquisition reveled that some God Learner orders actually worshipped Chaos!
