But it didn't AFAIK for there were no Basmoli in Fronela at the

Syranthir's Ten Thousand marched from Loskalm to Carmania in
time for the scattered colonials to loathe. The known Hsunchen
in Fronela in the first age are the Rathori, the Telmori, the
Wooly-Mammoth People, the Uncolings, the Rhino-people and another
type that was unrecognized by the World Council. I suspect the
last type is an auroch based on the mention of Garanian Auroch
in D:LoD and his curious omission from the Broken Council Guidebook.
the second age had tame lions in their ranks which implies that
leonophobia was not a characteristic of the Loskalmi. Where
these lions came from is not known to me. Also it is unlikely
for Syranthir to leave any sufficient numbers of lions and troops
behind that could survive the next two ages to become incorporated
into the Kingdom of War.
