[IW] Mnoren in Infinite Worlds
 

Has there ever been an attempt to include the Mnoren (TFT:ITL p. 5-6) in the Infinite Worlds setting, even as a veiled reference or allusion? I've looked but don't recognize them if they are present.

If they were part of the Infinite Worlds, this would present several interesting problems*:

• What was it that Jen Mnoren brought back from his six jumps in "fear and confusion" -- canonically "two simple devices and one book" -- that allowed him to amass a fortune?
• Presumably, there have been other families of world-jumpers where the talent breeds true, but none of them (so far) have gone on to dominate an intertemporal empire with just that ability as a basis. What was different about the Mnoren?
• The Mnoren "found, mapped, and conquered" 371 worlds in the first three centuries. Of those, three had space travel. The timeline presented in ITL puts this achievement at least seven centuries in the past; other timelines make this as much as three millenia ago. Are there any known timelines in IW that would have been TL7+ at such early dates?

It seems to me the Mnoren may have benefited from simply being first in the field and having a knack for turning small advantages into enduring gains, but I would welcome other perspectives.**

I could also see a role for the vanished Mnoren Empire as a source of Macguffins in an Infinite Worlds campaign: encountering similar artifacts, languages, etc., on supposedly distinct timelines should give the timecops pause.

*Note that I am completely avoiding the "What is Cidri?" debate here. If you prefer, I am discussing a close parallel where the Mnoren achieved all of their canonical successes except that most fantastical one.
**I am fully aware that both Infinite Worlds and the history of the Mnoren are "just-so stories," deliberately designed to set the stage for adventures rather than depict coherent alternate histories as such. If these speculations don't amuse you, feel free to skip them.
