Prosopaedia Question - Irgota and Sarudan

[Michael Hagen]

Currently ploughing my way through the Prosopaedia (taking notes) and have come across a mystery entry on pg 63:

"Irgota and Sarudan (Yelm Pantheon: Healing Gods Irgota and Sarudan are the divine founders of a healing society that is thinly spread out in the far north of Peloria. They use only stone and wood tools, and only gather or capture food. They accept no gifts for their services. They speak only in an ancient dead Pelorian language in prayers and among themselves. Irgota and Sarudan are depicted as a woman and a man on the abstract and stylized rock paintings the society members make."

While I'm speculating that this must have something to do with Eol, I honestly have never seen or heard these two mentioned before. Am I missing something here? I'd like to think I've internalized just about all we've seen published about Peloria, so a having zero leads on who they are or where they came from is somewhat frustrating.

Suggestions, explanations, speculations or a direct answer from Jeff all happily accepted (I thought we'd all like to know, thus asking here rather than via email) - please don't keep me wondering until the solar cults book comes out (2025?)!

Respectfully.

M.

PS - these first 3 volumes are masterpieces, I've already ripped through the Lightbringers and Earth books but waiting to receive physical copies in my hands before I can do them justice

There were healing baths in the vicinity of the White Sea which Umath attended and was ambushed by Shargash.  However the source is IIRC Thunder Rebels.

I don't recall seeing the names before. 

I think there has long been a connection between the White Lady and the White Camp which lies at the far north (and perhaps the Altinae as well), so I'm not surprised by additional healing deities associated with the far north of Peloria.

Thanks for the lead - unfortunately Thunder rebels (pg142) calls the healing baths "Melimios". No sign of Irgota or Sarudan but I will rescour the other non-canonical HW/HQ material just in case.

Irogta and Saruman are from Greg's unpublished Lunar cults notes. I believe they appeared in Enclosure 1.

Thanks Jeff! I will stop searching then.

(As Jeff say)s they first appear in Greg's unpublished notes for Gods & Goddesses of the Lunar empire (1996). They are in Enclosure #1, page 81

Had completely forgotten about that list!

Per the Enclosure article, they are listed as associated with Darsen, the Poralistor River area, and Eol. There seems to be affiliation with the ancient Wendarian language.
