On the wiki category idea, I’m sure a new template akin to the bug, sic, and anomaly template could be made that autocategorizes, and you (and other writers) would just have to bookmark a single page and check it periodically – no need for activity on the wiki, just observing a single page.

I’m open to trying that out. If you folks decide to go that route please post a link here.

Though you saying you don’t check the wiki is a bit saddening as that’s a pretty decent way of checking what lore we know (when it’s done…. conflicts have put such on a standstill several times).

I check the wiki, just not daily.

The annoyance I feel so far is that all the major stories are centered on sylvari in some way.

Personal story, half way through, trahearne.
Lost shores, canach
LS 1, Scarlet
LS 2, revolving more now around caithe and pale tree, but plant dragon in the background.

I’m starting to think either anet has a plant fetish, or are “racist” against using the other races as big bad villian :p

Oh, and this cliffhanger was a pain too. Usually in an episode like this, you get some closure in areas, then the cliff. I felt no closure at all here on questions.

To be honest, my gut feeling is that we’re not necessarily seeing a sylvari bias, and more that we’re at a stage of the story where the sylvari and their connection to the dragon (I don’t think it there’s any evidence to it being deeper than ‘sylvari are plants and Mordremoth specialises in plants’, but there is at least that). Once Mordremoth is no longer the main threat, the spotlight will likely move. Problem is, the LS moves so slowly that we haven’t got to the point of the spotlight moving, and it probably won’t for at least another six months, possibly more than two years.

I do agree regarding the last episode being a pain, though. Started off superbly with E5, E6 was a bit lacking but at least resolved a few things, while E7 was… interesting from a historical perspective, but most definitely did NOT go out with a bang like E4 did.

To those who think Scarlet hate means she’s succeeded as a villain:
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.

Many, Many thanks Bobby for adressing this issue.
It was something that was on my mind, for a long time and I am glad to finaly have an answer.

I like the idea for a Thread/Wiki colaboration, in which we help to find and mybe fix some smaller or bigger issues with the lore.

I was aware of your limits and was just asking out of couriosity. Not only are your ressources limited, but you are only human and that is something that has to be respected.

Crowdsourcing these lore hickups and condense them in a strucure for easier acess to you is certainly the way to go there.
Though i would suggest hire someone additional to check and crossreference these things if possible. As you said, you can only do so much.

i also think it was ok but too short,they could tell us more about caithe and faolain and develop the relationship between them little more.
i think Caithe`s Secret is wynne, she is going to kill wynne for faolain, she committed MURDERER.

Trivia matter compared to what the PC has done. That aside how would Scarlet know about it?

How does scarlet know in the first place? The only ways so far are:
A) somehow got a seed like we did
2) Faolin told her.

I’d go with 2.

Problem with 2 is…Faolin doesn’t even know Caithe’s secret. So I think Caithe found out from Wynne what it was that she told the Pale Tree, and kept it to herself.
