| + | [[Ludoh]] generally sticks to Osdol's version of events, adding in just a little more detail. For instance, she does say that Sopoh was succeeded by his son and that Bonten became "estranged from the blessed family". She also briefly speaks about how Sopoh built Peelee at the foot of Gaaj-Mas. But she doesn't mention anything else about Peelee, other than that the city "pushed for the sky. It could not be a rival to the Seat of Mankind, but its ruler wanted it to not be an embarrassment to the stars." |

| + | Ludoh does mention "the treacherous Meledesians", which is the first indication of another party mentioned at the location. |
