Mostly whether it's just figuratively referring to the start of a new age in Doma's history, or if there's a more literal interpretation to it. The only mention of a "sun" we've had in lore would be Azim, so perhaps the steppe could be more involved in this part of the MSQ then I expected.

That's a fair point. It's also very likely to refer to more than one thing as patch titles are liable to do. I believe that 'Sun' may also refer to Hien and what he represents for Doma. It also may play into Omega somehow.

Ultimately, though, I think you're on the right track. The Azim Steppes received overwhelmingly positive feedback from what I've seen on various sites and Hien is tied rather heavily to the Xaela. I think the MSQ will definitely take us back there and this seems like the perfect time to do so.

So I predict that whilst 4.1 focused mainly on Ala Mhigo and Ul'dah we'll be seeing 4.2 revolve around Doma and the The Azim Steppes. I also think that Kugane is likely to receive focus in every single content patch.

Elidibus will be Garlean Emperor soon under the guise of Zenos, calling it.
