26) Prior to the secession of Milandir from the Coryani Empire, what was the (rough) geographical extent of the province? When it had separated the val'Tensen lands split between Ulfia and Moratavia, but were these lands their own province separate from Milandisia, was Ulfia its own province independent of Moratavia (which was part of the Province of Milandisia), or were they both part of Milandisia

Very good to know, thanks. This is big enough news that it should be around somehow.

This is a particularly important question for the Elorii.

27) Looking at the map, Myrantis appears to be right at the point where Ssethregore meets Malefela meets the former province of Torenesta in Coryan. This seems a strange place for the Myrantians to settle as both the Malfelans and Ssethregorans have shown themselves rather hostile towards mankind. Does this imply that these nations have been less hostile against the Myrantians as opposed to the Coryani?

I'd bet the Myrantians had enough magical mojo to make them a hard target and they decided to just let them be. That's the only explanation I can come up with. Just to be clear these Myrantians are not the ones that fought with the First Imperium? I believe that was the empire further south across the Lauriol Sea. This batch got run out for being to heretical even for the original Myrantians as I recall. So maybe they did have some funky magic (tentacles and all that that gave their opponents pause. Otherwise I would think the Ssethregorans and Malfelans would have tag-teamed them to death. On the other hand maybe the Myrantians could have played the two nations off each other. But that seems unlikely to me.

Well, keep in mind as well that the Myrantians didn't worship the PoM, and may be Savosh vs Mandai. So the Malfelan's may have had less "ax to grind" with them, if they see that level of nuance in humans, since they were not related to the great Betrayal.

As for the relationship with the Ssethregorans, there has always been the question that both the Ssethregoran's and the Myrantian's reportedly come from continents to the south. Same continent? Inquiring minds want to know! If so, there may already be some relationship between the empires.

That sir is an interesting point. We know humans on Onara predate the coming of the Pantheon. It's possible the Elorri don't have a beef with "those" humans as they did not "betray" them. Some of them may well have been "subjects" of their empire. That such humans existed is suggested by the accounts on pages 13-14 of the Blessed Lands book. As for the Ssethregoran angle that has yet to be determined. Given the fact that all mammals are on the menu, I'm not sure how the Ssethregorans would have friendly relations with any humans. Maybe the two southern empires did fight and perhaps to a standstill and a cold war developed. When the new Ssethregorans find "Myrantians" on their northern border they might confuse them with their southern cousins and leave them alone for fear of retribution. I agree there has to be some reason they were left alone by their neighbors. At this point we just don't know why.

Well, also note that according to the Blessed Lands Book pg 29, that Leonydus paid the Kraldjur a visit during his time in power. It is possible that the Myrantians from around the time of terror were living in a time period when the Ssethregorans were recovering from his "visit." I find it interesting that we've never heard about this visit before. It seems like it would have been.... epic.

Within the modern age of the past millennium, Ssethregorans have at least twice tried to use the Myrantians for a coup. The best known is the successful Abessian rebellion of 1027 IC. Less known is the secret involvement of ssanu in Old Toranesta with the failed attempt to take over the Coryani Empire via Emperor Marellius and Patriarch Hulantin in what turned into the Day of Exile in 374 IC. Both examples lead me to suspect that Ssethregorans were using Myrantians rather than working intentionally alongside them.

From another front, it's possible that my deeper suspicions may be correct on the subtle meaning of the Abessian rebellion's message about "We are the Aleph and the Nol": "(" and ")". When combined, those two symbols make a circle, possibly a rubrik or an ourobous.

It's possible (based on my read of the text) that he was merely putting down revolts against his rule and not actually campaigning against the Sseth. Still I doubt they wanted to take him on. Talk about epic heartburn! Need a really big Tums for that one.
