Some Aerenwe-centric questions. Feel free to ignore those you might want to use for RoE3.
1) Who killed Rhuobhe?
2) Did Braedonnal Tuare absorb Rhuobhe's bloodline and start on a path of becoming an Awnshegh?
3) Was there something sinister behind William Osoer? How did he really get resurrected?
4) Did Tristan Bellamie really have some artifact granting him great powers or was it all about his gold?
5) Where is High Warden Lasarus?
6) Was Points East working for Osoer all the time?
7) Who is the father of ETN High Priestess' child?
4) Oh, yes. Tristan carried the Eye of the Serpent, and it was driving him stark raving mad. It was an Azrai bloodstone (or a mass of them) the size of a child's HEAD, with a consciousness built from the wills of all the people it had consumed over the centuries. He found and awakened it back in RoE 1, without knowing what it was at the time, and DAMN I WILL MISS IT. It strengthened his bloodline, assisted his realm actions, and occasionally even cast a small set of realm spells for him. And it taught him to be a Shadow Caster - basically a Sorceror, but using Shadow Magic instead of Daylight Magic, of level equal to his CHARACTER level.
And then he threw it away.
I'm really glad I at least got that far... Tristan put the Eye back on the shelf in the vaults where he found it and left it there forever, just before launching his attempted takeover of Aerenwe. Severed all ties. He knew it would eventually destroy him (although he had no idea how far along the destruction already was), and he was determined that conquering Aerenwe would be HIS victory, not its. Lost everything it gave him except his Shadow Magic, but it's possible he ditched it soon enough to survive. Of course, then the conquest went downhill fast, so maybe he threw it away too soon.

3) Do I count? I did my best to guide him!
