So, we got the Lore AMA, and it was awesome. However, do you have any lore questions that probably aren't really huge enough to know that there was an answer? Any little itching questions?
I may be alone in this, but a lot of the little details that never get fully explained (or at least as far as I can see never fully explained) are some of my favorite things about the game.
Case in point: what is Caelestis? I think it's only ever really mentioned once, in Darrin Wade's arc, on a relic you recover from some Tsoo. The relic has a river on it with six different branches or streams ending it, and one of those branches of the river is scratched out. It has the word Caelestis written next to it.
The literal meaning of the word involves the sky or heaven, and there are some other mythological figures related to it (normally in the form of a sky goddess.) Not a clue what it means in the context of the game, though. Could be something about the well (a missing sixth origin for power?), a weird fourth-wall-ish reference (scrapped plans for the original winged Epic Archetypes?), or maybe the writer of that mission just liked the word. (Not sure who wrote this arc, or most arcs really.)
Anyway, that's mine. Any similar little issues for the rest of you out there that you'll wonder about from time to time?
