I've spent some time reading through threads here, and I am impressed with what you've been doing all. And getting a little scared, you guys certainly know Weyrth a lot better than me -

Man, there's little to know -- we're just making things up!
And with Sarmatov you've chosen a corner that is sufficiently far from the other staked regions so that you should be quite free. A point of --
possible -- friction might only be the Magyarfold. It is quite obviously pagan, at least prior to the Stahlnish conquest, and as Sarmatov is also partially pagan and neighbouring it, it seems feasible that relations between Sarmatov and Magyarfold have been close, with some impact on Sarmatov's relations to Stahl. You'll have to think of something here.
Apart from integratig the technology in Sarmatov with that of the rest of Weyrth I can only think of two areas where you might have to take care:
1) The Imperial Church's mission to then totally pagan Sarmatov. The time of the great proselytation was the 8th and the earlier part of the 9th century, when Xanarium's missionaries roamed even farther east than Sarmatov, right into Tegaarn. It seems likely that the Imperial Faith reached Sarmatov during this time.
2) You need to decide whether the Erulian Migration of around 1200 Weyr did touch Sarmatov, and if so, in what way Sarmatov was affected. Actual imigration does imo not seem terribly likely -- far northern Sarmatov isn't exactly a prime spot to imigrate to.
