I think the idea they are going for is that with the ascians finally defeated with their plans left half finished and unfulfilled it falls to Azem’s successor to fix the problems they created but never finished as emet finally considers the WOL a true successor to Azem now that they managed to stop Meteion when the ancients couldn’t

the list includes
-ruins under the bounty->fix the 13th
-the fabled city of gold->fix the 9th
-the identities of the 12->those who supported venat who want to pass on now that she is gone (minus deryk/oschon)

They seem to be leaning hard into the connection of Azem and the WOL and setting up plot threads around how much of Azem’s “mantle” per say the WOL wishes to take up and if they truly want to be Azem or not

I’m not saying this is or isn’t a good direction for the story but it is relatively consistent especially considering that Bozja is mostly wrapped up in Bozja, by the end of Zadnor we route the…….12th legion I think it is and they begin to flee. We could do an aftermath expansion but the garlean threat in Dalmasca is kinda already taken care of and it would also create too much conflict between those who did and didn’t do Bozja in how the MSQ would progress
