You may be right. but if so I missed it. Her brother (younger brother?) is a soldier at Arhok. Now if he is native to the town then Lyssa was a child there when the protagonist's mother departed, and the protagonist still a child when Lyssa left home. But what if Reynard (Lyssa's brother) came to Arhok only when he got the job? In that case Lyssa might have visited town occasionally - must have for Reynard to be keeping her special bow? - but be almost a stranger.

Ashley Wickett, the old man living just outside town who you can meet shortly before Lyssa, is the NPC who talks about having known the Child's parents.

Three lasses in the party
1. Lyssa - potential relationship with Jondar?
2. Jharmaya (Utraean) - friend and colleague of Algher Manhur, and the leader of the pair; how will they interact with Nardulo who is obsessed with avenging his sweetheart killed by Zaurasks?
3. Mheagan, in the original game a young human (mainlander) stranded on the island in the half-giants' care, and like your Norick an orphan who has seen little of the world until now.

Just occurred to me - Therg "the historian" turns out to be more than he seemed. Jharmaya is one of his assistants, the most capable and the one showing most initiative, so his prize student. Could she be his actual daughter?

Two other companions, are they what they claim? - middle-aged Kraal "Yellowtalon", is he a recluse by force of circumstance, or by choice? Someone called Kraarl was one of Feliene's companions and the only one unaccounted for. Understandable if that man wanted nothing more to do with the Utraeans after realising how much of their past they'd been covering up. And Konus the dwarf - is he really a high crusader against the undead (him a combat mage, when nature mages' Purity spell and Life Force buff are what was wanted) or a low tomb-robbing scavenger spinning a yarn to suit his audience?
