Lore Book Revelations

They mentioned Xaela and Raen specifically, but what of the much much older Au Ra clan mentioned by Oda last year? Though I suppose "lore-wise" they are hidden and not known for the time being since the book is based off of npc knowledge.

Is it just me or does that sound suspiciously like Zodiark vs Haedalyn, filtered through about 10,000 years of garbled historical record?

So the two clans get along? That's.... interesting.

Duskwights:

Interesting that Duskwights use Pomanders potent enough to ward off Elementals and that they excel at making it. Not sure what that means or the relationship with the Pomanders found in PotD. Probably one of the many things they kept from the time of Gelmorra

Yda and Minfilia are highlanders, not midlanders!

People have jokingly said that she might be half (her mother) highlander due to her large breast. I guess genetics is genetics, her father was midlander, at least.

Well that was really obvious on Minfillia's part given she was from Ala Mhigo..

.and it seems to be more evidence that Yda is also from Ala Mhigo as well (and is the woman in the trailer fighting the Warrior/Dragoon/Monk of Light)

Of course they are! Both are daughters of Ala Mhigan refugees, and besides, have you seen Minfilia's boo-

Err... there just weren't female Highlander models in 1.x, so they had to use Midlander models as a result. Seems logical.

Hold on, according to race naming guidelines Keeper surnames are very old ("some of these surnames have survived since the First Astral Era."), so presumably they've been passed from generation to generation...yet the naming convention presented in the lore book is...different (what we know as the first name is actually a matronymic, and the 'surname'/second name is the given name)? :O Unless I misunderstood?

Someone in my guild just informed me my name is backwards. Apparently Ayuh'ra Tayuun is no longer "Ayuh'ra of Clan Tayuun, fifth son of Ayuh" it's "Tayuun, Fifth Son of Ayuh". Which changes my character's name. I don't RP but if I did my brain would be melting about now.

Hhmm the Keeper naming conventions in the book are different than in the forum post. I wonder if this is one of the mistakes that Koji was talking about that they did not catch in the English version before it went to print?
