Though certainly not on scale with the first brood, do the eyes of common dragons possess similar aetherial power? Would a human, in theory, be able to wield a dragon's eye as an enhanced aether conduit and were they to consume one, would they also be capable of transforming with the consumption of dragon blood?

Chakha Zoh in the Azim Steppe is a monument dedicated to a warrior who slew a dragon, but the only dragons we've seen in Othard (outside of the SB DRG quests, who was a migrant Dravanian) were only in depictions of myths and legends and not actual dragons. Is it possible there's actually an active dragon population nearby that we haven't seen, was this particular dragon a migrant, or is it possible it was a different creature altogether?

A very silly question, but... wouldn't those gators in Coerthas Central Highlands make for excellent sources of fiber and leather for crafters, or is there a reason why they're a yet-untapped resource? /makeyougohmmm

In page 100 of Encyclopedia Eorzea Volume 2, there are a number of books recommended by Seigetsu the Enlightened. These books include Edmont's memoirs of Heavensward, and The White Yonder, a book that Honoroit wrote about his adventures in the Sea of Clouds, along with several books on various Othardian cultures. Will we ever get the chance to read any of these of these books in-game? Perhaps this calls for another foray into the Great Gubal Library?

(Or possibly, a real life publication?)

Is the Monster Hunter event canon? Do Rathalos and our Palico friend fit into the lore?

[Ziadaine]

(This sort of wraps around Alphinaud)
Since Alphinaud can summon Moonstone and Obsidian Carbuncles, will we ever see our own summoners learn a 4th summon? Will we ever have Egi glamours for these two Carbuncles also? Last but not least since our other Scion friends are in the Mogstore, will we EVER see Alphinaud and/or Alisaie's glamour in the Mogstation Store?

I’d appreciate more lore on the origins, history and culture of the Au ra, as well as that of the other races – will more be added in a future lore encyclopedia?

In the Sea Wolf dictionary provided to the players, the list doesn't include the ancient Roegadyn words for 'rock,' 'stone,' or 'boulder.' This seems odd thing, considering there are words for:
-Specific kinds of rocks (Slate, marble, chalk)
-Things that are or might be made from stone (Mountain, castle, village)
-Various words that are just strange to include (Duck, sausage, goblin, wax)

Why is this?

Father Iliud lost his son and daughter-in-law in the Seventh Umbral Calamity, finding and taking in an amnesiac Cid not long after. It was at that point that Cid began going by the name 'Marques.' Obviously from an out-of-game perspective, this alias was a reference to Cid del norte Marquez from Final Fantasy VI, but what about the in-game perspective? Was 'Marques' the name of Iliud's son?

Was Thancred was awake and aware the whole time Lahabrea was possessing him or not?
If he was, I imagine he'd have a lot of info about Ascians that would be very useful to know at this point, but if he wasn't, he's probably a lot happier.
