I just located Carmania on a map. It's south of Parthia, and includes a city called Alexandria. Today it's part of Iran.

I was all set to borrow some of the fostering tables from Pagan Shore to use in Sartar, but didn't see any references in King of Sartar to the practice of sending your kids as foster children to another family. Do the Sartarites (Orlanthi) do this?

I noticed (in KoS) that "secret murder" is a capital crime. This is probably from Icelandic justice. If you killed someone, you had to ride to the nearest stead and announce the killing. If you didn't, the penalties were much greater.
