Is there a difference? There were small communities of Brithini along the southern Genertelan coast who maintained the Revelation of Now (often at impossible prices).
> Jeff:> Lots of people lost their god. The Esvularings were one of the small wretched survivors of the Darkness, scratching out a miserable existence around Mount Passant. Their god died in the Gods War but were in contact with the God Forgotite atheists and the Theyalans both. They claim their cultural hero saw through the weaknesses and blindness of their neighbors and discovered the Truth.

Depends who you are asking!
> So they were a separate group from the Ingareens. Malkioni in origin, or by acculturation?
Not sure there is any way of knowing for certain. They might be a failed band of Brithini, or they might be a wretched group of survivors from Vingkotlingland (or elsewhere). Or even both!

Should have written "south of what is now Mt. Passant." I know Mt. Passant is a recent city - didn't exist on the Second Age map.
> "scratching out a miserable existence" seems to be the norm in the Gray Age and at the Dawn. Beats extinction 100%.
Yep! But it also makes it hard to work out the Gods Age past for many of these bands. They lost their gods, their spirits, their ancestors, and remained in contact only with whatever was still there to aid them.
