Did Elidibus have an any intentions for Unukalhai other than sending him to help with with the Warring Triad?

[radelgirl]

Now that Hydaelyn is dead, is it possible for people to awaken the echo?

How do dragons sire children? Since dragons do not experience gender in the same way as the human races, are they able to produce children on their own without coupling?

Was Travanchet what we would consider a black mask Ascian, or was he possessed by a higher ranking ascian?

Many of the Gunbreaker's defensive abilities use a naming convention based off of astronomy (Nebula, Aurora, Superbolide). Is this a reflection of Bozjan/Hrothgar belief systems, and how do these compare/differ from the ideas developed within Sharlayan Astromancy?

[Lyth]

Many primals that we've encountered so far required corporeal aether in the from of crystals. Why did Zodiark specifically require souls? How could the third set of sacrifices be used to trade for the sacrificed people of Amaurot if their souls had been already consumed as an energy source?

[Lyth]

We've seen examples of 'parallel' non-player classes, such as Doman Geomancy vs. Conjury. Velibor Azetina's Field Record (#7) likewise tells us of a Bozjan Martial Art by the name of the Verdant Path. Are there more examples of this, and would it be normal for classes/jobs in a non-Eorzean region to have their own variants of the ones that we are familiar with - are there a set of Bozjan-specific classes, for example? If they did have their own job stones, would there be any that the Warrior of Light wouldn't be compatible with?

I wonder where Amon/Hermes was taken when Asahi dragged him into a dark portal? Felt like a loose end since even when Metion at the end of Endwalker also wonders if Hermes will ever find the answers?

I seldom consider there ever being a 7 Hells as literal place (with it being mentioned in passing in Pandemonium Anabaseious 12) in the story, but the possibility of him being dragged to a place elsewhere in the Atherial sea is not out of the realm of possibilities.

Following on from this question, what gives Asahi the authority to behave as he does with Amon in the aetherial sea? It felt very jarring.

Are the Thavnairian and Werlytian(?) Raen still technically "Raen" or does that term only apply to the clans living in the Far East? What do the other groups call themselves if they do not identify as Raen?

[Iscah]

Why do we not see many Raen in Stormblood areas?
