New Player Lore Questions

[MithrasInvictus]

How is it not a single person that was there can tell us what happened to Bahamut?

Now, I haven't done any of it yet, but this strikes me as something that will be revealed through the as-yet-unfinished story arch for The Binding Coil of Bahamut.

I decided to try FFXIV and really love it so far. I am trying to get kept up on the story/lore to understand what is going on.

During the calamity, who exactly gets sent to the future? Just the adventurers, or everything that was present there? What happened to Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Kan-E-Senna, and Raubahn Aldynn, since they were present at the Calamity. Did they just survive and stay put, or were they sent into future as well?

As far as the memory erasing part, did this effect everyone in Eorzea, down to the poorest of refugees? And what did they exactly forget, just the adventurers identities? Everything else they remember?

About Bahamut. I am pretty sure this is yet to be revealed in the game from what I gather. What exactly happened to him after everyone was sent to the future? Did he get sent somewhere as well, or did he just decide not to kill/destroy everything and go back to sleep? How is it not a single person that was there can tell us what happened to Bahamut?

As far as anyone knows, it was only the Adventurers who were present at the Battle of Carteneau (the 1.0 players' characters) that were put in the state of limbo for 5 years. It wasn't really explained how the GC leaders survived, but there are events that take place in the Binding Coil of Bahamut that would give some insight as to why they were unharmed.

Everyone in Eorzea, apart from Minfilia since she commands the power of the Echo, had their memories altered about the Warriors of Light. People can recall them, but actually picturing the heroes of Carteneau even as they stand in the faces of people always turn up a blank.

As far as Bahamut goes, some of the story is revealed in Binding Coil what happened to him, but it's also a story that will continue to be built on as they release more areas within the Binding Coil.

And what ever happened to Alph's sister? She just kind of disappeared.

She shows back up in the Binding Coil of Bahamut and will most likely be tied to that storyline.
