While I agree with you that it is not explicitly needed to have the lore there, I also very much want to see that lore there so that we don’t have any question.
I would very much like to know for sure how they’re taking those Wayfarers and Scholars and turning them into void elves proper.
In the doing I’d hope they’d update Telogrus Rift considerably and add some buildings and connections to the other islands.
Maybe use that Void Storm as a source of Void Essence to conduct a ritual to infuse the recruits.
