Holas Shadow Erites!
First and foremost, I'm sorry this took me so long. I like to wait until there are a few questions so it only takes 1 post to get a page's worth, but then you guys got a little ahead of me, and then it was the holidays, and then bah! Thankfully, some of you really stepped up these past weeks and showed off how much attention you've been paying by answering the questions and answering them well! So, for that I must say thank you!!
Anyways, I've done my best to answer as many of the questions as I can without spoiling too much. As always, some questions might not have been answered at all, others to only a minor extent, and many just get a 'Coming Soon!' tag... hope these help!
It has been said, but again for clarity: Eladwen is NOT from the Wilds. As for the Aldmor, keep your eyes peeled for the 'Tribes in Focus'.
Again, answered well by the fans but to be clear: Lyth is an incredibly harsh environment. It held the first settlers as 'prisoners', and establishing new territories is incredibly difficult.
No, though it was worn by a prominent 'military' leader-have to watch out for who at another time!
No. Not even close. The Tome is just a representation of the works of magical knowledge being collected across all the worlds!
Many weapons have been forged across Balor, for a myriad of purposes. As for specifics, not yet!
Raven is from Irum, which is a nation that made its commerce by raising mercenaries then sending them to other nations to train their armies (since there were no wars to be fought!). As for Raven specifically, time will tell!
There are numerous stars and planets in Balor's skys. Their universe is as vast as ours; in fact some scholars theorize that the 'Shadow' actually hail from the darkest corners of the same universe, while others argue they come from other 'parrallel' universes. The truth? Take a guess.
Magic began to appear in Balor at the same time as the crystals were discovered, but no direct correlation has been found. That said, some people are able to harness energy from the crystals to perform INCREDIBLE feats but the war has stunted the scholarly debates on how and why.
Currently I can't delve too deeply into the hero backstories, but I will say this: Two rogues means two backstories and both of those ideas sound quit familiar...
According to the denizens of the Vale, the Swan is a living embodiement of the 'Creator'. She exists inside their ruler, who bears the same title and is as much a political power as she is a spritual leader. She is grace personified to her followers, and important no matter which nation or faith you hail from.
Yes. There are some all the way back from CotC, and in DP!
Zail is a member of the Seven, and is the god of enlightenment. 'Zailen' is just using his name as an adjective for one of his followers!
As stated before, that hasn't been revealed yet!
Sure thing. Most of the citizens of Thriss (Ravager homeworld) believe they are descended from powerful and terrible gods called the Asyn. These powerful beings destroyed much of the world, but then vanished after a great war. Only a few remained, and it was from them that the Ravagers arose. There is a small following, though, that believes these are just stories and that they 'blood of the Asyn' is a falsehood. Thus the moniker 'Falseblood'.
Currently, they are just promotional items. If there's a story behind them, then it certainly hasn't leaked out yet!
