2024 Rising's absurdly specific backstory pull

[Fenral]

That is incredibly specific but somehow entirely on-brand for the Rising.

There's no other Rising thread, so I'll compile what else I've noticed here:
- Kipih and Nhagi'a from the 2022 and 2023 runs are at the Aftcastle. (Nhagi'a is in new gear)
- J'bhen and Astin from the 2021 run are watching the fireworks together by where the quest wraps. (It took me a hot minute to remember where I even knew these two from, until I saw the other two and realized I needed to check seasonal event thumbnails, too.)
- Emmanelain and Honoroit, seasonal event superstars, just outside the ferry dock.
- Two NPCs I don't recognize by the Aetheryte, commenting on the fireworks. Possibly generics, but definitely not there normally.

I'll keep looking for others.


Also, talking to Merlwyb is just incredibly sad now. May the Navigator guide your journey onward, Atsuko Tanaka. T^T
