I'm not complaining though, I enjoy the Manderville quests and doing relic weapons, so it is a double win for me.
Yeah, my confusion isn't so much that the link so far is very minor, but rather that every relic series to date continually and significantly expands on the story with each new step, so just because the connection is small right now says nothing about what the connection might be in the coming steps (and it would seem weird to suddenly require something like the Manderville questline in order to progress, say, Step 2 or Step 3).
