The echo and Hydaelyn's contact

[Veloran]

To make matters more complicated... our own WoL heard Hydaelyn before we ever saw a star-shower. We were simply asleep and saw something in the Lifestream... including Lahabrea somehow? And even then, we don't hear Hydaelyn. We only start hearing her after we get our first Crystal of Light. Which is when we see a vision in our heads of a starshower... in the Lifestream.

We don't actually see something like the Starshower in real life until Elidibus does the thing on Novradant!

I may be crazy here, but I thought that the Starshower and cutscene with Lahabrea was quite literally the first thing that happens after making a new character, while you're asleep on the carriage/boat, and Hydaelyn only speaks to you after you get your first crystal.
