The rest of them that didn't manage to flee either were killed, or completely taken over by Crucia to become most of the enemies we'll face in Brevane.


    Crucia wiping people's memories might also explain partly why the high elves saw humans as animalistic and primitive. They might have had to relearn everything from the start.
    Interesting Theory,
    In my opinion if Civilization started back in Brevane and that land is the origin on Eth and Mathosian then they probably used some sort of warding technology to protect their minds from Crucia's control, however, the side effect of that technology was to completely wipe-out their memory (or really messing it up).

    I can imagine something like putting themselves into some sort of sleep "Lithium of Hope" which was warding them from Crucia's mind control and traveling in that state inside vessels they've created and programmed to stop only when they find land capable of sustaining life.




    Questions:


    - What's the Lore behind those huge dragon remnants in Shimmersands?


    - What's the story behind Auld Warden? (sorry if it's written somewhere, can't remember reading what exactly happened there and how important that tree used to be)


    - Why did Alsbeth decide to betray Zareph and Port Scion? I read her lore and she looked noble. We also know she was in love with Zareph so how come she betrayed him? Need to know more about what happened there.
    Taken from the official lore:
    After King Jostir died, both princes tried to curry her favor in their building conflict. Many believed she would fight for Aedraxis if she took any interest at all in the squabble for succession, but Zareph must have offered her the better prize, for she ended up riding in his honor guard.
    Still, no evidence exists that Alsbeth worked for Regulos before the very day she doomed Port Scion. Her fall from grace is all the more horrible for being so sudden, all-consuming, and unforgivable.

    - Having complete both River of Souls 20man raid and chronicle I think we've managed to stop Alsbeth before she make full use of her "soul capturing" device, however, they were really lucky to find Zareph before we could come back with a raid to destroy her device.
    So, was Zareph finally bound to Regulos's will? He fought to give us time to escape so we could gather a raid and return to kill Alsbeth but when we came back there was no sign of him anymore.
    Are we going to fight Zareph in Storm Legion?


    - What's the lore behind Plutonus? Was he created? If yes, who created him or what kind of race did he belong to?
    He also has the title "the Architect", how did he acquire his knowledge to build the Soul-Sypher for Alsbeth?
    We fist find him locked in some forsaken tomb with no entrances to it which was filled with similar titanic bodies like Plutonus. The only way in this tomb was a crack on the wall made by the Endless Council who dag dip into DSM in search for the tomb.
    We killed him once in DSM dungeon, what happened after this? How did Alsbeth bring him back to "life"?


    - What's the Gods' (Vigil) role in the whole story? Why they cannot intervene?
    Someone said they might be part of Crucia's plan which would mean Ascension was triggered by some kind of Device the Storm Legion has developed to allow mortals stand against the rest of the dragons but she probably has some counter-plan to prevent us from killing her. Very cool theory but if it's true I guess Guardians will lose their Identity in the game. Unless you are planning to merge Guardians and Defiants in the future!!
    Anyway, are the Vigil real Gods in terms of "Creators of the world" or are they some sort of ancient hero's whose souls have formed a "Pantheon" hence they can only indirectly interact with the mortal world?
    Do they represent the planes as well? Could each one of them be the "divine" aspect of each plane with the dragons be the "evil" aspect of each of the planes?


    - According to your RIFT:Planes of Telara Lore, human were created by the Vigil and civilized by the Elves. Some of them ventured north and became the Mathosians and some of them ventured south and became the Eth. All this process must have taken a while. Then the Bloodstorm came to Telara.
    According to your RIFT: Storm Legion Lore, human are first found in Brevane where they developed unimaginable technology with which they opened the dimensional gate "Infinity Gate" and from which the Bloodstorm slipped into our world.
    Isn't this controversial?
    Even if Brevane people have lost their memories as we assumed in earlier posts that still does not explain why it took the Bloodstorm so long to travel from Brevane to Telara.
    In fact, according to SL lore, all of the bloodstorm except Crucia rushed to other lands of our world which means they headed towards telara. How did the Elves managed to civilize human so quickly and human split, travel and establish in both south and north in a matter of, probably, days?



    ok, i think i overdid it a little bit but I'm a huge Lore freak so bare with me.
    Can't wait to see some of the above questions answered!

    Question: Why do you allow 2 players to kill Lord Greenscale in The GSB Chronicle? The other Chronicles build a decent story to what you are about to raid. GSB hurts my heart...

    Unless you are planning to merge Guardians and Defiants in the future!!
    In the most recent live stream, they hinted that in 1.10 they're planning something that would make factions "dissipate" and that would allow different factioned players to play together, it can happen


    Question:
    In the alternate dimension conquest takes place in, how come the the people of that plane can't realize that player characters swap their ideals and sides after each battle? I mean, if I were a Raven and I would see a member of my squad coming against me during the next encounter (player chose a different faction), wouldn't I be angry, or title him as a traitor at least? How can they process this strange phenomenon?

    //argh, during playtime I always stumble upon something interesting I want to ask about, but I completely forgot about them as soon as I have the option to ask them //

    5-min editing expired, sorry for double post:

    2. Why is it important for our reality to influence other, alternate worlds, such as the one conquest takes place in? Moreover, if people of Telara (or the Gods and Dragons themselves) have realized already that there are alternate universes beside their own, wouldn't their purpose, religions, understanding, scientific goals (being Defiant or Guardians or any) change completely and pursue things that are much larger than their simple planet? Like when Crucia realizes that she could actually meet with her own alternate self, wouldn't she try to contact her other existence at once and pursue far more dangerous goals now that she found out Telara is nothing but a small planet among many others and many other universes?

    These things are quite dangerous to work with, even in the Stargate series they couldn't operate with these philosophies correctly and extensively because of controversies and plotholes.

    1. What defines magic in the universe of Telara? Is it purely planar energy, or is there more to it? How exactly can a mage channel it, is it taken from the air around them or?

    2. How does the various races mature? There is some hints that Kelari does not mature as fast as say, a human (in the Nalthema story) - Can you clarify a bit more on this area? When is an individual of the various races thought to be an adult?

    3. Can you give any hints as to how the guardians will approach the new Magitech as we get closer to the Infinity Gate? I'd think that they'd want to set it on fire, but you never know.

    4. How is the rate of birth these days? Can two ascended (of the same race) have a child, and is it even likely in these times that a child would survive?
    If two ascended can have a child, would said child have any of their parents strength or would it be "normal" so to say?

    I'll probably return with more later on.

    1) What is the official lore: Chronicles or Raids.

    2) how do the different races mature. And is the elf-human age ratio 7:1 or somewhat different

    3) Why o why are the factions race-bound? What is your explanation lore-wise, that an mathosian cant turn away from the vigil and become Defiant(I mean they can start following 1 of the dragons)?

    4) How will you explain that we forgot about 2 whole continents?

    5) Why are there no children in Telara.

    Who is Prince Zareph's lady love? Just saying, even as a guardian, I like HIM better than Hylas.

    First off, love the game, nerd out on the lore and cannot wait for more shiny things to coo over. Moving on.

    Thedeor, Bahralt and Tavril are racial patrons, or were. I like the idea that Thontic and Mariel Taun were open to all prior to the Vigil coming together anyway - will there be any other gods joining the Vigil at a later date?

    Some characters choose to play a neutral - are Guardian clerics still able to worship a god of the Vigil, use their power from the covenant between the two, whilst walking around saying they disagree with their god?

    If not, will we be getting names or some little details of other gods/spirits to facilitate Defiant/Neutral RP so they don't end up worshipping Bobzilla the Bold?

    Will Carwin ever find himself back in the flesh, so to speak, and will the Guardians ever recover their royals?

    Now the Aelfwar have been redeemed, do they consider themselves High Elves again through covenant with the Vigil, or just the regular variety?

    1) I second this. You get exploration XP for discovering it, but it makes you want to explore a whole underwater zone! If we can't get that, at least some sort of story behind the sunken ruins? Pretty please?

    2) Also have to repeat another one: can we get a statement on Chronicles vs. Raids as official lore?

    3) Any novels possibly on the horizon with more stories of Telara? The graphic novels were a good start. More please!

    This was answered in a previous Q/A from last year:

    http://riftrp.net/index.php?topic=1348.0

    Question 2: What about racial information? Naming conventions, lifespans, average height and weight kind of
    stuff?

    Lifespans:

    Human: average lifespan of 60 years

    Elf: average lifespan of 300 years

    Dwarf: average lifespan of 150 years

    Bahmi: average age of 100 years
