Long before Throne of Destiny introduced the Viamontians, this Isparian heritage was planned to be included in the original launch.

Early lore such as To Be A Shadow, introduction to Aluvian history, and introduction to Gharu'ndim history us the term Viamonter to describe these people.<ref name=ToBeAShadow>1999/11 Release - To Be A Shadow</ref><ref name=ZogblasterAluvianIntro>1999/11 Release - Zogblaster Archive: Aluvian Introduction</ref><ref name=ZogblasterGharundimIntro>1999/11 Release - Zogblaster Archive: Gharu'ndim Introduction</ref>

An early map of Dereth, labeled "Beta Map of Dereth" on Maggie the Jackcat's site, has a marker labeled "Viamont" located west of Aluvia and north of Gharu'n.

In a developer chat, Chris "Stormwaltz" L'Etoile mentioned that originally more than four heritage groups were planned.<ref name="DevChat2000-06-15">2000/06 Developer Chats: Developer Chat - 2000/06/15</ref>

In the Stormwaltz 2016 Q&A, Stormwaltz speculated that perhaps the Viamontians were cut from the original game because both the Aluvians and Viamontians were based on European cultures, but the Aluvians were a more traditional fantasy European culture, and a second was not needed.<ref name="StormwaltzQ&A2016Q28">2016/09 Stormwaltz 2016 Q&A: Question 28</ref>
