I'm not entirely sure what they could reveal that might make much of an impact for the folks on the island, but I can't pretend to be an expert on the lore.
I wasn't trying to imply this would set a precedent either, just the introduction a more peaceful neutral faction that could serve a lot of utility roles, introducing events, helping to educate on Korvara lore, and serving as neutral functionaries for the leaders of the region to carry messages or pen things, share findings, the like. Being from Sigrogana initially would serve as their motivation for their neutrality and desire for knowledge. They have no nation to fall back on, no support, no certainty of food or shelter, so they have to make themselves useful to the powers-that-be while they conduct their studies. Giving a neutral faction that's operating in all the cities, trying to gather up knowledge, giving folks quests to obtain specific samples that day, or hiring people on as escorts or laborers for large scale expeditions would also feed into the economy and give people more IC reasons to explore- I mean, they'll explore either way for loot and levels, but it reduces aimlessness and gives people a place within each city to learn about the island. Maybe it'd work better as an NPC faction, primarily?
Like I said though, I think it'd probably benefit from a great deal of oversight anyway. I was hoping to get more feedback from more sources before I even considered applying for anything or speaking to any admins about it.
