So the Strom, the deliberate inheritors of the capital, promptly decided to get rid of their entire culture up to that point? No remnants of the culture survived?

That's really not how cultures work, Binor. They are creatures of gradual change except when calamity forces rapid shifts. While comparing Arathor to Rome is a personal pet peeve, it was invoked earlier so I'll use it here for a moment. Did the culture of Rome disappear the same year, decade or century that e Western empire crumbled? How about the culture created by the various Chinese empires, the Sassanids, or the Eastern Romans? The culture of the HRE, or of the neo-Babylonians?
