[Glorantha] Aeolian history?

I've seen a number of documents that describe mythically how the Aeolian Church was founded, for example:

But is there a historical story as well? That is, was the Aeolian founded by some historical person or community that heroquested to establish the truth of its myths? If so, who are some candidates for that person or community? (I think I've seen something to the effect that it was founded by an associate of Arkat, for example.)

The reason I ask: I'm running a game where a number of characters are Aeolian church members of Esvulari descent. I'm trying to get a sense of what legends (as opposed to myths) and other historical baggage they might have. I'm also trying to get an idea how much they deviate from Heortlings. I've read the entry for Esvular in Heroquest Voices, I'm just trying to get to a higher level of detail.
