Some miscellaneous questions about Volsaxiland

This post is a lot less weird than my last one, I promise...

The old Dragon Pass gazetteer suggests that Baron Sanuel was a Trader Prince or a Trader Prince mercenary. Is this still true?

I think the Locaem must have originated from around Smithstone, a sacred space for Gustbran (whose father's former mountain is very close by). Does that work?

Speaking of Gustbran, when died he learn smithing from the Mostali? Is there anything specific regarding this?

If the Volsaxi came from its vicinity are they (the original core clan) Fire/Earth Orlanthi or Storm Orlanthi? The same hoary gazetteer suggests that Volsax was a rival of Dreven, who I think is probably a Dureving given his name.

I also place Geo's original home at the Cave Inn, which I think is southwest of Whitewall, and speculate that he was recruited by Sartar there as Sartar contemplated crossing the Crossline. (This is my game canon, as the Cave Inn is where there PCs come from..). But is there anything out there that makes this a shaky/wrong assumption?

The other thing I had to nail down was the date of Karsten's war with the Bacofi over the magic bull, which, based on the Tain Bo Cualaigne I put in the generation before the Red Moon's rise (in the Tain the events prefigure the Crucifixion). I don't think this is contradicted anywhere but if I'm mistaken, let me know. Thematically, this should involve chariots, lost magic, and trolls, all of which are on the wane by the 16th-17th centuries.
