Eschalon: Book III - Storyline Questions

Basilisk Games has a new thread were you can discuss the storyline to prepare for Eschalon: Book III. If you never finished the first two games it will contain spoilers.

Since we have less than a month to go for Book III I might as well post my list of questions regarding the storyline. Some of them might be answered. Some of them might be irrelevant. I will come back to this topic after finishing Book III. If you have any of your own please post them in this topic.
