Well, 10 million Lunar Citizens can't be wrong. Seriously, both the
Malkioni and the Kralori can claim a continous cultural tradition
lasting as long if not longer than Dara Happa, IMO.

1) The Plague was said to be introduced into Tanisor from the Kingdom of
Dari which ruled Ralios at the time. This was not part of the Nysalor's
Empire of Light. The two nations may have shared similar philosophical
ideas but then so do Loskalm and Seshnela.
2) The proof that the riddlers spread the plague has oft been asserted
but never seen. The only evidence that they did so comes from the Brithini
(who have no souls thus are free to damn themselves by perjury without
suffering harm) and Arkat (who betrayed so many people and causes that he
ended up betraying his own hidden agendas to the enemy). Consequently,
the charge remains unproven and is probably baseless to boot.
