[Loremonger] 1.X Lominsan Story Arc

[Anonymoose]

Well there's definitely some inconsistencies. Caravallain doesn't wear an eye patch, nor does Hyllfyr. (regarding the one-eyed captain thing)

At the very least, Hyllfyr's nickname is One-eyed Hyllfyr. He has both eyes, so I assume that he chose the nickname himself so a parallel would be drawn between him and the legendary pirate One-eyed Wylfred.

It's strange that the French version outright names Caravallain though. I think he'd make more sense over Hyllfyr though as the latter seems to be trying to keep a low profile, while it's mentioned in the last Marauder quest that Rostnstahl finds this book that details Caravallain's dealings. I'm sure human smuggling could be among those things.

You think that's confusing? In Legends Adrift, Sthalmann comes aboard the Astalicia and demands Carvallian... and then tells him he runs a strict ship. What? That's Hyllfyr's ship!

But then I checked the other languages... English is the only language in which Sthalmann says, "You run a strict ship, Captain" to Carvallian aboard the Astalicia. All three other languages simply say, "It seems the Astalicia requires very specific ettiquette."

There are most definitely some discrepancies between languages - I'm not sure if I'll be able to sort them all out. Once I have all four quests in the OP, if we still can't sort it out, I'll start begging for assistance. By that point, answering the questions should be as easy for someone at SE as just going, #1) Name #2) Yes #3) Plot Mechanism etc. etc.

In the meantime, I encourage any attempts to answer questions. I'll bring in quotes and different translations of anything anyone wants to get the gears grinding.

The unfortunate fact seems to be that during 1.X's early development, there was a crunch to get it done fast and not enough inter-communication synchrony; and it wasn't without a few casualties. The good news is that I'm a stubborn bastard - we'll get there.
