Yup.  Although hopefully the idea of the Rokbeigalm and the Drughu
having once been one people would still be viable at all!  I don't know
whether i'd be more happy that there's more Tolkienic conlangage (sic)
in the world, or sad that i wouldn't be able to fit my Rokbeigalm in
with the Drughu anymore.  :-P

Cool!
Yes, the Rokbeigalm are very sea-faring.  Their own ethnic name means
'Riders of the Waves'.
