The Westerners didn't call the Uz Krjalki because they registered as chaotic on their detect chaos magics. They called them Krjalki because they looked chaotic.

> That Arinsor was a foe of Talor doesn't help either, as Talor was a noted Chaos fighter. (Come to think of it, what kind of magic did Talor's Vampiric foes use?)
Talor didn't fight Vampires in Fronela.

The Sorceror is not said to be a Galvosti. The legend for the picture states "The Malkioni wizard attempts to summon and control one of the dreaded krjalki, those magical fiends which dominated the blasted borders under the Syndic's Ban and which possess such wierd [sic - PHM] magic and lore."
