I also don't really know what architectural style would fit Northpoint best but if that is a question for a different group I understand. Loskalmi art is classical nudes. An example is here: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/home/catalogue/websites/moondesign-com/jeffs-old-blogs/loskalm-art-direction/ or the Guide p201. I don't have any notes on the archtectural style (we have a piccie of Akem which is similar), which can be seen here (courtesy of Redbubble sotre) https://images.app.goo.gl/qkkGJRtMgRszp3iB7 As for the names of the Masters in Loskalm, we have: Quote Ascended Masters venerated by the Hrestoli include Xemela, Hrestol, Tomaris, Gerlant, Arkat, Talor, Halwal, Tryensaval, Snodal, and Siglat.

Perhaps @Jeff might have some pointers for you. Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.

I see there are many people here with a far greater grasp of the legends and lore than I could hope to acquire without years of study.

Regarding architectural style, this is Fronela and the Guide p.199 notes on climate: "Most of Fronela has a temperate continental climate, with warm summers and cool to bitterly cold winters. Because of the proximity to Valind’s Glacier, arctic gusts bringing snow and ice are possible in any season." So, think northern with a need to deal with heavy snow loads (i.e. A-frame styles or other steeply-pitched roofs). There's lots of forest/timber, so log construction is likely for most folk but stone for palaces (may still have wooden roofs). p.214 in the Guide has an image of Sog City in Fronela which might provide ideas for style.
