Sharlayan origins and the Endwalker Trailer

[Daralii]

Historically, the nation of Sharlayan was founded by a Roegadyn named Nyunkrepf Nyunkrepfsyn—one of the Twelve Archons who tried to stop the Sixth Umbral Calamity.

That said, the fact that Sharlayan's architecture, general aesthetics, and even their treatment of the outside world all seem to be aping Amaurot suggests to me that some or all of the official history is a fabrication. I think one thing we might discover is that Sharlayan predates Nyunkrepf's alleged founding by hundreds, if not thousands, of years. And having said that, I realize such a revelation would require justifying their lack of presence in previous eras—for example, where was Sharlayan when Allag ruled the world?

Alternatively, Nyunkrepf's founding of Sharlayan could simply have been heavily inspired by Amaurot, somehow.

Or Nyunkrepf's Sharlayan was very different from the Sharlayan of the current era(s), and they reshaped it around whatever Amaurotine influence they were exposed to.
