Religion should play a bigger role in ARR

[Azurymber]

So from what I understand Dravania and Sharlavan are connected to one another? And what's this Pagl'than and Gyn Abania? I might have missed something in Azury's lore guide but I haven't heard much of these places... Do you have any official infos to share on them? Are they related to alternate continents?

Anyway, that's an interesting timeline you put together there. It's really nice to see it from a long term perspective like that to get a sense for where things are headed.

That's about it! How's that scarf keeping you warm?

Dravania is the area, and Sharlavan is the city in it
Gyn Abania is the area around Ala Mihgo (the city where most highlanders came from that the empire now controls)

Pagl'than is an Amal'ja stronghold underground, east of ul'dah/thanalan
edit. It may be an above ground zone but one of the faction leves refers to stuff being made deep underground and refers to it as an underground stronghold

then you have the sahghin in la noscea on surrounding islands like the cieldeles(sp)
xelphatol or w/e north of grid
and mazlava(sp) and theuri(sp) east of grid, both being islands

Since the garlean empire is the only land-connected zone im assuming that would be the first or second -major- expansion.

It could be Pagl'than was meant to be accessed from those tunnels in Halitali that the NPC won't let you go into. It's really a shame so much of the intended designs of this game couldn't be realized in 1.0. I wonder how much of it will survive in ARR.
