The whole Rallos line in SoD pretty much defies canon.
Vallon and Tallon were raised to Gods to avoid the curse placed on Rallos's children. In his weakened state, he barely had enough power to grant them immortality.
Clearly, in Tosk, there has been no curse placed upon his children. And Eriak wasn't stripped of his power. And Vallon and Tallon were raised up without the necessity of rescuing them. I'm savvy with the whole "the past has changed" bit of time travel, but the situation created in the Plane of Earth theme is extremely unlikely to have arisen the way it did. The changes to the timeline generated a state of reality that seemingly couldn't exist.
So in the future, if you want to mess around with more Rallos and time travel, great. Awesome. But please, no more breaking the base lore.
Any time travel will theoretically break any base lore it visits. And it did.
We were aware of all of this when we brainstormed out the sequence of events. With regards to Tallon and Vallon... even when history is changed you still look for the obvious elements around you in order to go forward. If aliens had invaded Earth in 1942, President Roosevelt would have turned to the same Secretary of War to determine how best to face them. If Rallos Zek had been offered an opportunity to invade the Plane of Earth a couple years before it actually happened in the lore, he might have turned to Tallon and Vallon earlier than he did in the unaltered timeline. The history as you knew it got bent out of shape a bit but restored to something like a recognizable state.
