Who would revolt against his rule in the Kraldjur morass? I wonder if he was putting down an invasion of some sort. But remember, according to the stories of the Altherans, the Altheran peninsula was reasonably unpopulated when they arrived, so there shouldn't have been anyone there for him to fight (unless he depopulated the peninsula). It also raises the question as to whether modern day Torenestra was First Emperium territory or not, for him to be involved in fighting there.

We know through various sources that the First Imperium stretched into at least modern day Cafela and Milandir, and evidence to support it extended into modern Salantis as well. It is possible it also stretched into the modern Abessian Dominions and even the Altherian Peninsula.

I should also point out that the First Imperium fell over a century before the Myrantian Hegemony was FOUNDED, which means that the Myrantians from the south didn't colonize the area until central authority in the region had disintegrated. The question at that point would be, however, why didn't Ssethregore (or Malfela?!) invade the now shattered Imperium like Elonbe' did during the Reconquista? Why did the Ssethrics (and Malfelans) allow Myrantian colonization so deep within their spheres of influence? The bulk of the Hegemony was in what is now the Coryani Empire, streching from Sulphecci to Panari, but their capital was so deep into the swamps I find it suspect.

Sorry I should have been more clear. I think what Henry was saying in essence was that Leonydes was putting out revolts from one end of the Imperium to the other.

28) Now that we have information about the Hunnai and the worship of the Three Sisters in the Blessed Lands book, would the elorii consider their worship to be an affront? Near as we have been told the elorii only accept Belisarda and that she is THEIR goddess. I can only imagine they may be taken aback by a group of humans worshiping Her, as well as insisting she is only one of three related goddesses.

Given that the Hunnai primarily exist as slaves in the known world, and elorii own few slaves given their history, it's not that clear to me how much contact and knowledge exists of the Hunnai religion. The Hunnai apparently do not have priests in the trational sense it's also true that you can't get a life warden and a Hunnai priest together in one room to have a deep discussion of theology.

My guess is the elorii that know of the Hunnia would probably equate them as "weird Undir." They might see them as people who have the the right general idea but are pro give and have somethings wrong.

That's my guess

29) What 'ethnicity' are the val'Haupt? Their name suggest German, which could mean Gothic, but they live among the Yhing Hir which could suggest Turkic or Mongolian features. Is there anything which states which?

30) Is there any public word on the status of the various val'Sosi scions in the greater universe beyond the Brood of Ven? Is there any word of them settling in Coryan, Almeric, or Milandir (or elsewhere) like the surviving val'Vasik's have found a home (somewhere) in Milandir?

I think the reason the val'Haupt are where they are had to do with the Blood War. As I recall from the Blessed Lands book they were mentioned as one of the bloodlines that survived because they hid in a remote corner of the First Imperium.
