Idk what it is, but perhaps it has to do with our WoL taking a sideline role to the story this time around. We are not the main focus, and we are just there to explore. Helping Wuk Lamat in her rite is simply a side quest for us. There is nothing really major happening in the story. This needs to be built up, which was the point of Dawntrail. There is no major crisis where we are urgently needed to be there to save the day. We just exist currently.
