I've always been terrible at comprehending the 1.0 storyline, so the summary is very much appreciated. I've always wondered just how different the planned story path for 1.0 was supposed to be, since it appeared to be setting up a lot of elements (a central focus on the Battle of Silvertear Skies, the starshower, the horns, etc) that have generally only been touched on in minor ways since.

I was happy to see Rostnsthal show up in 3.0, though.
