Hello all, and (an embarrassingly belated) Happy New Year!

Happy new year, Ferne (and LOC squad as a whole, of course)!

Oh, and about that Lore page in the new Lodestone forums... We're in the process of escalating the issue right on up to Yoshi-P, so he knows how important this is for you guys. And we won't stop until we get that page up and running.

That and I'm betting there are a few in the office who'd appreciate the subtle distinction between needing to clear up lore ambiguities and actual pure-blood text and dialogue errors - both localization issues, arguably, but definitely different species. Can't wait!

Ten year gap between events confirmed. Hermit = Krimm and Rostnstahl = Stahlmann inferred.

The good news is that Rostnsthal = Sthalmann is confirmed a few times if you know where to look, the best example being his referring to himself as "Rostnsthalmann" when trashed out of his mind - but you get a few tidbits from the "[Adjective] Adventurer" NPCs, such as the translations of his name, Man of Steel and Rusty Steel, etc.

I'll look into Hermit/Krimm when I get there - but the Loremonger for Treasures of the Main is going to be untwelvely long. I'm not even done with the raw transcript yet - which is coming after I go through the backlog of existing quotations and update to the new template format (old one was causing some issues, so now "link=" for no link, "link=y" for link is same as speaker, and "link=[Whatever Pagename Here]" is required).

Interestingly, if what you say is true, then all three city states experienced investigations headed by The Circle of Knowing at the exact same time, and these occurred shortly after the Battle of Silvertear Skies. Granted, the Fall of the Keeper and the breaking of the aetheric seal are grand reasons for the Sharlayans to get involved - just amazing that all of these very important things happened in such a short time span.

EDIT: Wait a tick... do you think the breaking of the aetherial seal is what made Seal Rock rise from the depths in the first place?

All that speculation paid off !!

I've gotta hand you this one, Warlock - your speculation can be as trigger happy and schizophrenic as my own at times, but you NAILED that one, lmao.

I half expect her to still be roaming Ul'dah peddling back-alley deals in A Realm Reborn. If I remember correctly, it was an Ishgardian noble that she was assisting - perhaps there is a turncoat in their midst?
