Ask Questions for the Lore Panel at the Las Vegas Fan Festival!

Why was Gelmorra abandoned if the Duskwright didn't want to move to Gridania anyway? You'd think they'd just keep living in Gelmorra.

Why didn't the Duskwright want to move to Gridania? Did they just not want to have to live by the Elementals' inscrutable rule-set or was it something else? The homepage the current Duskwright "despise the shackles of city life" but at the time Gridania was founded their ancestors were living in the city of Gelmorra so that can't have been the original reason.

Have there ever been any great Miqo'te civilizations? I know both sub-races tend towards being tribal and nomadic but that didn't stop the Mongols . . .

. . . Yes, I'm asking if there were ever Miqo'te Mongols.

What is the history around the Manderville's?
Why is Lord Godbert Manderville so absurdly strong for a goldsmith.
What was his grudge with that chimera?
Will there be more events/quests that involve those Mandragora's from the Hildebrand quests?

Can you show us a full map of hydaelyn ?

What civilization lived in thanalan during the war of magi ?

Who were the enemies of the allagan empire ?

Can you say something about Alexander's apearance in this game ?

Can you give a list of what classes (including crafting/gathering classes and jobs) are associated with a member of the Twelve?

On that note. What are the members of the Twelve that the civilizations take as their patrons? (I know Nald'Thal is Ul'Dah patron)

Regarding the eternal bond system, if there is a quest required to unlock it, will we be able to see...

Wawarukka and Kokomo

...make a cameo during the quest?

Are the any lyrics to the songs Calamity Unbound and Through the Gloom? If so, can we expect them to be officially released on the DevBlog? I recently heard the newest version of Through the Gloom (darn you school for keeping me busy!) and feel like I recognized some words between that and the Praetorium's theme, Penitus.

What happened to our path companions from 1.0?

In the lore panel you said that the Garleans were genetically unable to use Aether. I thought that it was stated that everyone comes out of a single life-stream or aether, all living beings (even primals, and such, which are pulled out of the Aether). As a result, every creature is made out of aether, and people who use the aether whether or not to teleport, or do magic, are using their own internal aether (or their part of the stream of aether) or pulling aether from their surroundings.

Are Garleans not of the main aether life-stream? Do they come from some other energy force? If they are genetically unable to use magic, I would think this means that garleans have absolutely no internal aether, or no internal life-force upon which to call.

I think they'll be closing this thread soon but there's a thread up over here that'll take Lore questions for the London fanfest.

Is there any correlation between the War of the Magi from FF6 and the FFXIV War of the Magi?

Are Ala Mhigan's only comprised of Highlander Hyur's or also members from the other races? 1.0 seemed to imply the latter but as of ARR it seems to be otherwise.

If you go to the edge of the map of the Central Coerthas Highlands near Monument Tower and look up, you can see a Garlean teleport ring similar to the one in Cape Westwind. Will the Garleans be returning for more conflict in Heavensward?

Is there any chance that there can be a "Definitive" Lore book released that has all the available Lore for everything from 1.x-2.4? Would love to spend hours perusing everything, but a lot of stuff is spread everywhere so some sort of consolidation somehow would be nice :(

About Dragoons.

We all know Dragons are main enemy of Dragoons, and all of them use elemental magic, yet dragoons are inherently weak to magic. Is there a lore reason behind it?

So, pardon me for being out of the loop, but is there somewhere we can find the answers to whichever questions were actually asked?

They streamed the panel, and the follow up stream only lore Q and A. I have seen the former on YouTube, but hard to link from a phone.

Hmmm, i shall search for it then. Still open to links, of course, when someone gets a chance. :)

EDIT1: Aha found it! :D

I have only seen it on twitch, but it may be on you tube. I don't think it was premium only. And be sure to check out the lore cast http://gamerescape.com/2014/10/19/lo...h-fernehalwes/

So much good info there!
