I also remember the interview with Krile and Thancred's VAs on it where they did say that those two would have more involved roles in the future. That hasn't come to fruition yet. So just because we haven't seen Thancred now doesn't mean they don't have something percolating, for instance. All Vel was pointing out was the definitive format of the statement was wrong. It wasn't "They appear to be retiring" but that they had and treating it like an absolute fact. Which there is nothing in the storyline or from any official sources to support that idea. I also wouldn't find something like that likely. They can keep someone off on their own pursuits indefinitely and have freedom to bring them back in if they find a place for them in the story. That seems a lot more the type of thing they would want to do, because it keeps their options and flexibility open.
heck we've seen this happen multiple times in previous msq with some of the Scions being out of action. What the story is doing right now is literally nothing new in terms of not having every Scion present for the current story.
