When creating your character, it's important to remember that Throal opened its gates only five years after the Elemental Clocks stopped -- and had been sending out scouting parties even earlier than that. Theran Envoys won't arrive in Barsaive for another 29 years. The Earthdawn had returned after its yearlong voyage having only opened two Kaers, and then failed to return from its second voyage. Contact with the world outside of Throal is essentially nonexistent, and all characters should have grown up in the Throal Kaer unless otherwise listed here.
While there are populated areas near to Throal where Namegivers may have survived in Kaers, this is a game of exploration. If you desperately want to play a Cathan/K'Stulaami/Tamer/Serpent River T'Skrang/Blood Elf/whatever, let us know and we'll see if we can seed a few rumors allowing PCs to explore and "unlock" those regions of Barsaive.
