About Lord Kona; I don't suppose you've read anything in the Lore section of this site?
Excerpt:
"Kona the Dread Lord had fashioned his empire on the premise that he was the supreme power of the world. Central to his power was the orb of dominion, a tool that he had conceived and helped wrought with the aid of his brothers."
...and so on. Kona, Dread Lords and Arnor are as much a part of the Elemental lore as the GalCiv lore
