What the heck is even going on with the Coeurlclaws and their King? Why are Keepers apparently living like Seekers?

No, I haven't finished the Palidan up to lvl 50, so forgive me if I am just ignorant.

When you start the Palidan quest/storyline, we are told that adventurers cannot swear fealty to the Sultana since we don't recognize any borders (I think, its been a while.)

Why can't we do this?

Personally, I want to side with her and the General kick some major Syndicate ... butt!

ADDED BONUS: We would be able to pick fights with the Brass Blades all over Thanalan and beat their ... butts too!

Who was Sasamo and what were his or her eighty sins?

Who was Sasamo and what were his or her eighty sins?

Just gonna point out that due to Lalafell naming convention Sasamo is a her.

That;s pretty much the only thing known about her at this point though

1) If I was to compare the aetherial composition of the Twelve with the Primals, would there be a similarity?

2) Was Zodiark shattered into eight pieces? The EN translation of Ascian cutscenes seems to suggest that he was fractured into multiple pieces ("the Rejoining"), yet even after seven of them he hasn't been fully awakened/freed from his state of dormancy or loss of power.

3) How heavily connected is a Warrior of Light to Hydaelyn? The Ascians seem to be trying to 'power up' the player characters, yet they "prosper at great cost to his/her mistress", suggesting we're literally draining power from Hydaelyn by overcoming the impediments set in our way.

4) What would happen if I used the Echo on a Primal-tempered soul, including if I went as far as actually possessing that individual?

I'm wondering about Eos and Selene, and if there are only female fairies, and if so, why is that? Or will we be able to see future male fairies, or even know more about them in general? Could we possibly get male fairies, if that hasn't been thought of already?

The older gentlemen who accompanied us on our first cutscene went by a variety of names for each city-state you start in. But you never understand why he has multiple names, or ever see him again.

Will we have this character explained more soon?

Actually he's one of triplets. They're in the Scions HQ (at Waking Sands) during the 1-50 Main Scenario line at one point.

Can we have a bit more information about Elbsts (Sahagin Mounts)? Do other races use them, since they allow for a high degree of mobility in the water? Can they breathe underwater?

Are Eos/Selene, carbuncles and egis equally sentient or do some have more will than others? Do they already know their moves and summoner just learns how to ask for them or do they get taught from scratch?

[Z-Washburne]

Is there a set timeline of events for the story? For example, how long after arriving in Eorzea do we fight Ifrit? One month, two months? How long goes between Primals and other events like the different binding coils in the world's "canon"?
