Glancing back over the thread in bits and pieces, sounds like everything from this point on is all about interpretation and how people decide to work with the lore. As well as how they maneuver their character through the curve-ball.
Do what you need to do. People will either accept how you worked with the lore or they won't. The latter can just be shrugged off and moved on from. Otherwise? A lot of this is starting to sound like people trying to convince others into their version of how they feel is the best way to move forward while the rest continue to flounder.
I think as long as it's acknowledged that most of the officially ordained DRGs are dead or retired, whatever happens from there is up to the creativity of the player and how they found their way from point A to point B.
