Another question!
I have a bad habit of charging through the main storyline in games like this, only getting pulled up short when it's evident I'm not leveled enough to continue. At that point I start to explore more. I also don't read walkthroughs because I'd rather not know what's coming. So I was kind of expecting a few more steps before I found myself on Halfmoon Isle and then the war threatening to start immediately after that. Outside Duneville I found some Nehrim soldiers fighting some Lost Ones, which suggested something about the map may have changed.
So I'm wondering if I didn't screw this up and have gotten to a point where some sidequests, map areas, etc. cannot now be reached. I'm putting off whatever conclusion you reach with Tealor until after I do some more exploring, just in case.
