Gathering Lore Questions for the Fan Festival in Las Vegas!

Where are the Hellsguard Roegadyn's village exactly?
We've already been to THE Volcano, in and out hmm hamburgers..., /slapself
we exploring Abalathia's Spine, how come we never get into/closed these warriors and scholars' Roe village?

- In Xelphatol we saw Garuda being summoned over and over again for a single attack without the use of prayer or crystals or anything like that. What are the rules for that kind of summoning?
- Is the sword Alisae conjured up capable of killing Ascians?
- Can you finallly, definitely confirm the permanent, irreversible death of Lahabrea (hope he isn't) and Nidhogg (hope he is)? That cutscene with Elidibus and The Griffin had me worried.
- Some of the Adventurers of Darkness had jobs we do not. Ranger instead of Bard, Magus instead of Black Mage, Knight instead of Paladin, Devote instead of White Mage. How did they get those?
- Will Matoya remain involved with the Main Scenario? If yes, can we see her DO something instead of letting us do something?
- The Wind Up Odin pet mentions that Zantetsuken was taken by Odin from an Au Ra. Now that we know Zantetsuken is really the Eikon and Odin just a tempered adventurer this seems unlikely. Or is Odin still related to Othard?
- Can we assume the First World literally and look at it as a 1.0 where the Calamity didn't happen?
- Do vampires exist on Hydaelin? If yes are they gravekin, voidsent or their own unique race?
- Is their a lore reason for triple triad cards of other Final Fantasy protagonists? Shantotto and Lightning did visit Eorzea, but what of Cloud? or Squall? Did Y'shtola remember him Dissidia?

What status do the older (those who were adults before the Purge of the Temples) Fist of Rhalgr currently have within Ala Mhigan society?

Tell us what happened to Niellefresne!

Are Astrologian star globes/planishperes/etc. all calibrated to perform actual navigation or readings of the stars? The wide variety of designs seem like they'd be detrimental to a standard mapping of stars and constellations, not to mention certain weapons might favor certain stars over others (i.e., the Martial/Halonic Planispheres would likely focus on the Dragon Star).

It was mentioned last year that there were no children for some races, such as Roegadyn and Miqo'te. A lot of Miqo'te kids have been added since then in a number of patches
however there are no signs of Roegadyn anywhere, Does this mean in the lore Roegadyn just don't have kids? Are they similar to Galka from FF11?

Could we please get some additional insight into Garlean culture such as their favoured cuisine, beverages, hobbies and so on? What sort of goods did they ship to Eorzea back when friendly trade was in place?

Going to assume that this thread won't require to post questions in separate one-by-one posts.

1. We understand that a week for FFXIV is to be 8 suns, or 8 days. However, there exists the usage of the words sennight and fortnight. Usually these come to mean 1 week or 2 weeks as they are for 7 nights or 14 nights. Do these terms still mean 7 nights and 14 nights or do they stand for eorzean weeks (8 nights / 16 nights)?

2. It's been almost 2 years since you posted about the quest story to explain Sasamo's 80 sins. Have you been able to get this quest approved and into the game? If not, can you finally explain what Sasamo did?

3. What are the Elementals currently doing and why does it take them so long to recoup? Will we see them make a resurgence in affluence and power?

4. In 2.0, we had instances of calling female knights 'Ser' such as Ser Heustienne. However, in 3.0 she seems to have lost this use. What's happened? Are female knights not given titles as Ser or is this a specific case for Heustienne? She is never referred to as Ser in her questline in 3.0, even when she is still a Dragoon except in an item description but not in quest or journal dialogue.

5. Previously it was said that Padjal are from Hyuran families. We've seen images of the dead before and when we met A-Towa-Cant, he seems exceptionally pale in comparison to 'ghosts' or others. Is this an indication that he might have been an Elezen before being chosen to be a Padjal?

6. Is there any way to know a regular Lalafell's family members or is it all just a case of someone saying they are related? We only have a convention for the royal lines. Is there no such convention for regular Lalafell or is it just unconventional?

7. In terms of tribal Sunseeker Miqo'te, are males typically the leaders? We know that nunh are not usually also the leader of their tribes but what about Tia? Are females sometimes the leaders of seeker tribes?

8. How much of Hydaelyn remains unexplored and undiscovered? Do we still have entire continents to discover and visit?

9. Are there actual locomotives/trains in Eorzea or the planet of Hydaelyn in general or are the tracks just for mining carts?

10. We've seen Lalafell forced/conscripted into the Garlean army (1.0 mainly). Where were these Lalafell from? Doma/Othard? Ala Mhigo? Closer to the Garlean Empire?

11. Have Miqo'te been in Ishgard before they closed their gates? Or are they recent visitors?

12. Is it more controversial to be a part of a 'same-sex' marriage or an interracial one? We see lots of interracial flirting so how does this jive with the societal disdain for mixed races?

13. Has someone taken over Teledji Adeledji's place on the Syndicate?

Spoilers for 3.4

14. Did the 'Warriors of Darkness' end up dead as Alphinaud surmised or do they end up continuing to try and restore the First with Minfilia?

15. The Warrior of the Warriors of Darkness (I can't remember his spoken name at the moment after the Roegadyn called it out once) said that the Thirteenth is what we know as the Void because of the imbalance of Darkness. Have we already experienced something related to the First with the imbalance in favor of total Light?

What is the difference between a Primal and an Eikon?

Tell us about Au Ra a little more!

How likely is it that their horns and tails are damaged/removed? Do they feel sensations against them, or are they a solid material? Should said tails or horns be damaged, do they grow back or are they lost forever?

Still so much we barely know about their race...
