Vath Beast Tribe Story/Lore - Thoughts & Discussions [SPOILERS]

[PArcher]

Is this the first time we actually see the proclaimed leader of the tribe? I know the Sahagin have their Matriarch, and then there's the 1st Order patriarch of the Kobolds, as far as I know, they are only name dropped, and that's it. XD

Sylphs - I think the Touched One's leader is a Fate boss actually (I don't know if I'm right, but I do recall one Fate having a Touched One Elder being the boss. In Moonspore Grove I think, in the North)

Amalj'aa - Don't think we have, the Amalj'aa we see are decently far from their homelands, so their real leadership isn't here. We do meet the leader of the Flamefang faction though.

Ixal - Not really sure who they're leader is or their society/power structure; been too long since doing the Ixal quests, and don't think they touched on it much at all. At the same time, we aren't at their home, just something more like colonies or far-flung settlements for war.

Sahagan and Kobolds - correct, we haven't seen their leaders (yet...we don't really have access to the Sahagan's city, nor the real Kobold holdings)

Vanu Vanu - We have seen the Vundu leader (think we first meet him in the MSQ when first seeing Bismark)

Moogles - Twelveswood we have not, Churning Mists we do (again, MSQ related).

Goblins - Well, we all know the Illuminati boss by now, right?

Sylphs - I think the Touched One's leader is a Fate boss actually (I don't know if I'm right, but I do recall one Fate having a Touched One Elder being the boss. In Moonspore Grove I think, in the North)

You kill the leader of that group trying to steal the podling when you're making your escape with Voyce.

As for the final story with the Vath, the storyteller informs you that even if the Overmind dies another one is chosen. So I don't think the Gnath we see is the true leader so much as a vessel, also based on his abilities I think I understand the point of it. The Overmind reaches in to the thoughts of all Gnath and as we can see it's reach is long, but that physical vessel allows it a much closer proximity to other Gnath and it appears closer proximity = more powerful control. At least that's my personal theory on it going forward.
