I will mention one last thing, since I've noticed it in your little profile window~

The "van" prefix in Garlean naming is actually reserved for Imperial Legati. Gaius van Baelsar, Nael van Darnus, etc. Unless your character is a Legatus of one of Garlemald's 14 Legions, having van as the prefix might be a bit off. Canonically speaking, of course! Not saying you have to do anything. Prefixes in Garlean culture basically denote title from what we've seen. Ferne is supposed to write up a post detailing it some time soon, but for now we can basically infer this:

Van = Legatus
Nan = Minister
Sas = Tribunus
Tol = Frumentarii
Zos = Emperor

Spoilered Â the following because it's slightly story related.

All of them are definitely difficult to touch while following canon of the game, given the incredible positions of power each of those entail.

Basically, I'm trying to do what your doing, but she skipped through time and has quite the gap to catch up to. So far she's only taking it apart, examining, and having her scientist friend, Siben, explain to her what the hell Ceruleum is.

It's a slow process

Well, Endemerrin and his little friend basically pioneered his specific field of bio-magitek, as I've so affectionately named it. While they might be a little hard-pressed to get said information out of, I personally would love to have some sort of interaction in those regards. Could be a lot of fun, since they've only ever worked on Endemerrin's arm. He's usually up for a challenge. Unless, of course, you already had something planned, in which case nevermind~

detailed Garlean Empire lore?
