Been thinking about this today, and I think our FC is going with the idea that the main storyline quests have occurred as of 2.1 up through the post-credits cut scene over the course of the uh...five months since launch, and the original Chronicles of a New Era are sort of a "happening right now" thing, where basically a bunch of groups keep being sent into Binding Coil to investigate/conduct research, because we're just getting to Binding Coil as a raid group here after the holidays.
Certain parts of 2.1 are similar - the new primal raids, the new dungeons, the beast tribe dailies, etc. Possibly Crystal Tower as well. They're all happening now, as they're things that multiple groups can be involved in frequently, if RP'd properly.
The details with the Scions themselves are a bit trickier. While currently non of the Embers are members of the Scions, their presence is acknowledged as a sidelong element of various members RP. Their "coming out of the Sands" (announcing themselves to the world) and moving to Mor Dhona are pretty big things, and we're still trying to decide if that's something that should be kept current, or held off till the main story receives an update; given the fact that Mor Dhona's received a huge facelift, we're likely going to go with the idea that the announcements and move have taken place in the world setting, and leave it at that. We're all still going through those quests, though.
