So is this where the Witch Gods migrated?

Thought it pretty clear that these three are indeed our good old witch gods Soleal, Dreeg & Bysmiel. Question: did the coven recognise them as such?

I wonder though whether this was the event that caused them to stop communication with the temple's "The Attendant" - or that these events happened before.

Wanna bet Rallia is actually from the Coven faction? Never actually burned her in that quest, so it would be cool if she was at the Coven's main base.

I hope the Luminari is indeed a faction and that we get to choose to side with the Coven or with the Inquisitors.

Seems to me that after this event the Coven & Luminari are not per see juxtapositioned anymore.

Then again, I can image the choice being: All witches are bad - period (doesn't seem to apply to Creed and the Outcast though) vs We help the poor witches.

This involving quests leading to either kill the 3 remaining "leader" witches, or kill 3 high ranking Luminari (probably something Creed wouldn't like).

That would be a nice little gimmick!

Well, there's Outcast's Secret — a BiS for many aether caster builds — which you can only get by killing Anasteria on Ultimate.

"[...]and that’s not including the addition of Beasts as an official hostile faction." thank god

Any news on release date? I'm still nursing the faint hope that I'll see this before summer break so I can do little more than play this during the summer.

...

Perhaps the aura of the bog had shrouded them from discovery

Make sure Grava turns this aura on

On a serious note, very nice lore. Great misadventure

I'm pretty sure that these events happened before that.
