Lore Book Revelations

Anyone think a thread should be made in the case of clarifications needed or what might be inconsistencies? (A few comments were made when I posted that Seekers pic on tumblr and others have commented about Nunh leaders).

Also, I learn new words every day. seolc is silk. o.o;

It sounds like people without citizenship in Garlean territories have little to no rights.

That doesn't sound all that different to Eorzea given the state of places such as the Brume and Pearl Lane. Interestingly enough the best route of of both places is similar to what Garlemald is often criticised for: conscription. It's just less forced in Eorzea's case.

Done and done!

or that other things have changed, too, such as Bradamante's lore ("What if the Lodestone was just always wrong? It said the spear was said to be named for someone Darnus slew; it made no promises.")

How was it worded actually? Did it say someone Darnus slew, or did it say Bradamante was the spear's first victim? The latter would be true from a certain point of view.

By the way I don't think we should overthink Rise of the White Raven that much. Everyone ingame believed Nael to be male. Mostly because Nael really was male. Emphasis on WAS. What makes the switch so perfect that after shaking off Bahamut's tempering, Eula is confused about being in a body not her own. We believed the confusion is because Nael turned into a woman but actually her original female body was replaced by a fake female body constructed by Bahamut. It really wasn't her own.
I wonder with the Garleans back in the limelight in Stormblood, will we learn more about Eula or perhaps the real Nael.

It is still pretty early, the NA store might not be updated yet.

How was it worded actually?

その背に負いしは、過去に殺めし乙女の名を持つガンハルバード「ブラダマンテ」。

Bradamante—a gunhalberd said to be named for a warrior maiden he slew.

Die Kanonenhellebarde auf seinem Rücken trug den Namen eines jungen Mädchens, mit dessen Blut er sie zuerst besudelte — Bradamante.

Son arme, une hallebarde revolver, est appelée « Bradamante », le nom d'une jeune fille qu'il aurait tuée.

JP seems vaguer than the rest; "Carried on the back, the gunhalberd Bradamante possesses the name of a maiden killed in the past." I think that's how to read it, but I can't really tell if nuances and context imply that she was killed by someone other than herself. Granted, if that was the case, it doesn't look like anybody was told or ever corrected. EN says he killed her, FR says he killed her, DE says her blood was the first with which he sullied his blade, I think?

Looks like Far Eastern Hyurs are neither midlanders nor highlanders. Oboro's bio says he's Hyur (Far Eastern) instead of Hyur (Midlander)
