Next talk about each questline specifically

Caster:
So Neilbert becomes a warrior of light due to his sacrifice of his friend who was lost during a failed experiment as a child. for the innocents who lived around the mountain.
After being resurrected as a sin eater his body continues to try to find his lost friend based on instincts, we the player manage to hear this friend's voice and guide him home, unfortunately the boy has lost all memory of how he came to be trapped within a rift in time and space. As time passes you find out the boy and Neilbert were friends making it seem the boy was displaced in time and has now traveled 100 years into the future, the boy has great magical aptitude and has the ability and knowledge to close the rifts Neilbert's sin eater can open, after some training you beat Neilbert and set his soul free.

Physical dps:
Renda-Rae's sin eater is going around hunting tough prey turning them into sin eaters after awhile she turns to people to replace the comrades she admired so much in life, this is due to the pain she felt when she was young and lost her fellow hunters to a mark. After joining with Arbert for awhile she came to value them highly but when she heard of the mark that killed her fellow hunters, she wanted revenge and being afraid to lose her new companions decided to go hunt it herself, they follow suit anyway and together they kill it, afterwards she is given a crystal and upon it swears to share everything with her new companions. After killing her sin eater you and ex-rich kitty boy decide to say goodbye him to look after his wet nurse who showed him more love than his parents you to continue adventuring.

Tank:
Brendan is staying true to his duty even as a sin eater trying to safeguard the relics from the kingdom he served unfortunately this duty was the reason for Wright's horrific event where he transformed loads of the townsfolk into sin eaters, one of whom was the wife to your hunting companion thus was vengeance filled in the man's heart. After tragedy in Arm Areang due to the 2nd of 3 relics being found there you go to Il Mehg where you learn of Brendan's past with being the royal guard for the princess and of a plague afflicting the populace seemingly at random, after failing to protect the princess Brendan was banished but eventually he came back with Arbert and everyone and together they went about trying to find the source of the plague. Turns out it was the Court mage who after a long battle where he turned his fellow mages into voidsent like beings(they never call them voidsent but they look exactly like them so from here on out i will refer to them as such), with his dying breath cursed the princess transforming her upon her request to kill her and to uphold his duty, Brendan slew his charge but he never lost his compassion and due to this he became a warrior of light.

Healer:
Lamitt left dwarven society in search of a cure for the stone disease afflicting her people and her sister, she met Arbert very early on, after a long while of searching she found the magics she was looking for within a Ronkan Ruin and judging by them having a owl coin they too must have been allowed access by the Vil. When she took this magic she had fully resolved herself to turn her back on her traditions in value of the lives she could save by doing so, upon getting back and curing her people she was banished and all the dwarves she saved willing left as well deciding to honor her sacrifice. This sacrifice was painful to Lamitt but she gladly bear it if she could save other lives, with this she became a warrior of light. However her sin eater was bringing back the dead sin eaters who were previously dwarves but only helmetless dwarves thus did our companion Giott conceive the plan to put helmet on Lamitt's sin eater to prevent it healing itself, during the battle Giott had no choice but to put her helmit on Lamitt and after victory, Giott decides to still honor dwarven tradition of being banished for revealing her face but also to honor Lamitt by continuing adventuring.

The final Quest:
To the surprise of no one having watched the other questlines Cylva(Cyella) was the Shadowkeeper but her reasons are interesting, She like Ulakalhah is from the 13th shard consumed by the void, she has the echo and she was told no less than a calamity of equal proportions but of light could save it by the Ascians. We learn she was tasked with grooming Arbert, Brendan, Lamitt, Renda-Rae and Neilbert into becoming warriors of Light and to strike her down priming the 1st for a rejoining, but Arbert decided to show her mercy despite everything she did, not long after they went and killed off Mitron and Loghrif so they killed 2 Overlord Ascians and then the flood of Light came.

The reasons you were asked about hunting the cardinal virtues was to try and unto what Vauthry had done to their corpses, most likely an Ascian idea, despite everything Cyella still valued Arbert and everyone even in their deaths and she will continue to try and honor them as her job as a tavern waitress, she is also unable to don heavy equipment like she used to so she has gotten weaker as time has gone on.

Extra stuff

The 13th shard and the void keep getting brought back this expansion i really do feel like we are going to be fixing it at some point. And now we know Ulakalhah is not the only surviving member of the 13th , the Ascians(Elidibus) could be sending them after us soon.

I appreciate you putting chronological order in your first spoiler, it's really nice because I had some trouble piecing it all together. Regarding your last comment, Eden spoilers:

I'm also pretty sure the armored girl in Eden (most likely Gaia, the character Nomura designed) is also going to end up being from the Void. We'll see in 5.2 I guess.

And whether it be in MSQ or Eden I hope Unukalhai comes back soon. Once they brought back G'raha there's no more excuse for not using side story characters in main story.

Many characters.

Most likely Gaia being the Oracle of Darkness could assume control of a Voidsent Prime, which given the creation abilities that Darkness is given it may be possible that the use of this Voidsent Prime could be to create an element and then Ryne with Eden could use its power to stabilize the element to prevent it from being re-assimilated into the void. Combined with stabilizing the chaos could result in the 13th being restored.

No worries i tried keeping the 1st one spoiler-free as possible just in case people click when they didn't mean to

It also makes sense as Cylva gets more evil grin/shady in that order as well

Another day another thought

I'm wondering if Arbert's adventuring days coincided with our own in ARR. Lahabrae was planning on using Gaius and the Ultima Weapon to bring about a calamity yet we stopped it, could this had rippled to the 1st which was on the path to being primed for a rejoining before Arbert showed Cylva mercy, thus changing their path to go after Mitron and Loghrif instead or was it the other way around, where Arbert's mercy allowed us the strength to beat Ultima Weapon?

Unrelated note

Is Ultima used by the Ultima Weapon light aspected?
