Level 82-3 zone:
This is the first we've heard of Corvos, right? G'raha's profile in EE1 just says southern Ilsabard, and this is also the first mention of his clan in relation to House Darnus, which feels like it should have been brought up back in 2.X when people where already drawing obvious connections.

But apparently to Garleans, said region is the promised land, and Sharlayan likes it enough to want to copy it's climate This would probably be more impactful if Ilsabard wasn't a giant cloud on official maps.

AND I'm really not sure how I feel about the G'raha backstory retcons overall. Right now it seems like he's being set up for (IMO) the worst possible resolution to his character, and Ishikawa doesn't work that way (or, hasn't since 2.5) so I'm holding out for a twist.
about the lvl 82-3 stuff
Kind of? It got mentioned in Zenos' side story, his master was from there. But we didn't really KNOW anything about it, also there's a... thing pointed in the World Map called "The Anchorite at Corvos", along the Corvos Narrow opposite Thavnair. But actually in-game? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the first time. I was very interested in it a few months back because... well, the Anchorite at Corvos sounds VERY ominous and I wanna see what's up wih it.

I don't know if the dev team had intended on it being the Garleans' "birthplace" all along or it just happened to be a place they had a name for and better to use somewhere that already existed on the map than to make up somewhere. The extension(addition?) of it into Garlean and G'raha's backstory... interesting, is all I'll say...
