Trying hard to figure out the lore of this place that's happened over the course of 20 gaming years.
We used to have quests involving the phosphorescent mushrooms, and the atavian shaman (who seems to have died during that weird gargoyle event which didn't really seem to establish any lore whatsoever). Now there's only one bounty for the queen, and none for the other manticores?
You have this gargantuan tree just sitting in a particular place, doesn't feel cohesive at all, and still no trace of the atavian shaman who rudely died and never returned? Why does this area feel like a Hollywood set? For everything eventful that seems to have involved this village, imagine your leader having lied to you, there's no redemption arc here at all.
Maybe I'm just upset that all my manticore quests aren't accounted for? but the area has way more potential rather than slapping a big ol' gargantuan Gaia tramp stamp of a tree and a Druid who doesn't talk... heck I can't even find out how Danae died. Really unremarkable. And it's rather sad that Agatheis as a God wasn't pursued creatively enough. A persecuted cult from Arcadia, Gehan lying? Maybe there's something deeper to the story rather than just making this area an accomodating RP patsy.
I always thought a natural progression of the area would be to tame the manticores or rather to discover what they're guarding, or perhaps whether or not they're corrupted.
We still don't know for sure whether the atavian shaman actually turned that gargoyle a former atavian, or why he was in azdun, other than rampaging and killing a bunch of people?
