I had a DM that ran a similarly tight-lipped story line that we are experiencing with the living story. It was full of bland sidestory references to the over arcing story, and it was sometimes impossible to recognize the real important issues and hints as they were presented. As a Thief in D&D3.5, I concentrated on my own back and really just went with the flow of the world of Creath, I looked at the big picture without analyzing the myriad of small pictures.

The following 2 you tube videos are made by an old DM (or he should have been). I was able to piece together a few connections as this story has progressed, however, this is a really good overview I found on You Tube.

Many Kudos to Wooden Potatoes. I am glad you were not my DM.

    There are more that progress the story line you can find.

This is good for new players and old alike if you were too quick to judge the content and too impatient (like me) to let the story develop. As I used to tell my DM, I need more hints to put it all together. Unfortunatley it is very hard to walk that fine line between keeping suspense, keeping too much info from flowing out, and keeping the element of surprise in balance.
