2) Bismarck and Ravana both have the means, if given the opportunity, to seek out the Triad in Azys Lla as a source of immense power, and that this must be prevented at all costs.

Naturally, this being only the start of the expansion, things are left very open ended, but you can expect them to feature heavily in future patches.


I think that's exactly what we'll be getting here.
The triad do somewhat have a role, during the Singularity Core, it's implied that the king uses their power to summon his knights for Ultimate End, when he tells his sword to "drink" deep.
