One of my favorite topics lately is the Peshwah. Its hard to say what life was like for the Peshwah during the last days of Blackmoor, but my assumption is that the cataclysm caused many to return to their nomadic way of life.

The Jennites seem like a natural successor of the Peshwah. I also personally like the idea of the Ethengars being descendants of the Peshwah, but it is more difficult to reconcile that with various canonical sources. The Jennites went on to gain dominance over large parts of the continent. Nomads may have had a great advantage in a post-apocalyptic environment. If the Horseclans series were an inspiration for Arneson when he was developing the Peshwah, then they are no less relevant after the GRoF.

I dont know if the Jennites or Skothar has yet been touched much upon in the BC2300 project or other discussions?

Yeah, I remember Cthulhudrew talking about this. Perhaps the Proto-Ethengar were Peshwah who abandoned the Way of the Horse when they travelled across the Ocean? I like the idea of the Peshwah God Calelrin being the same as Cretia. I have also added Yamunga (Terra) and Tubak (Ixion/Pacuun) to my Peshwah Pantheon.

The Ethengars look somewhat different from the Peshwah though. The Peshwah are likely more middle eastern in appearance, while the Ethengars are Mongolian-like. I wonder where they would have acquired that trait...

I actually like the idea of the BC2300 Ethengars as not using any kind of mount. Makes them very different from their descendants. Fast runners perhaps? Drawing some inspiration from Pre-Columbian Native Americans...
