This is a much better question to ask, and my reflexive answer--and keeping aware that my usual reflexive answers trend towards the simplest ones--is just that Alphinaud and Alisaie, being that they went back a patch ago, have just been back long enough to see an issue and call us for help. There's also a chance it could even be Thancred and/or Urianger, who left Tural even earlier and we've got no idea where they went.

I think the twins are the stronger answer, especially because they specifically went to Tural to go learn things to then apply to Garlemald; perhaps there's something going on with some echoes to what happened earlier in Dawntrail, so they call us to go 'hey we've got a mid-grade Zoraal Ja situation going on here, might need some help getting on top of this'. Which leads to the notion of an expansion that's largely focused around helping and securing a post-occupation Ilsabard, which is the 8.0 that I think seems the most likely and could be quite interesting, albeit not the one I want (mostly because it's not Meracydia).
