> 1) What makes the godforgoti distinct is probably not their state at the dawn, but that they did not succumb to the lure of the Lightbringer missionaries. Either the missionaries did not make it that far, or for some reason they were rejected. (given the proximity to Heortland, that former only seems likely if either there was some specific reason that missionaries did not go there, or they were stopped)
Do you mean God Forgot (the Ingareens) or the Esvularings? The Ingareens kept their old Malkioni traditions and stubbornly held to them through the Darkness. The Esvularings lost everything.
> 2) In RW history it was not uncommon for different `peoples' to live intermixed with each other for long periods of time, while still keeping their cultures and religions at least nominally distinct. The most remarkable record of this might be with Judaism, as another example the Germanic successor states to the roman empire frequently had early law codes that only applied to their own people, while the "romans" that they had conquered remained governed by roman law.
Agreed. That's part of the "Foreigner Laws" of the ancient Hendriking kingdom.
