If Kingdom of Ehb's hero is the Farmer, then Legends of Aranna's is the Child, or in full (in my opinion) the Adventurers' Child. The game tells us the names of both the child's parents - Orrin for the father (a dual nature and combat mage) and Feliene for the mother (ranger and nature mage). So even if one was the Farmer who defeated Gom, there is no room in that adventure for the other. In any case, piecing together the story of their expedition from fragments of the mother's journal discovered along the way, they come across not as already-experienced and successful adventurers but as bungling novices learning the hard way (judging by the equipment items lost - the Arhok's Lot set - and companions killed). In the end they died glorious deaths but the story leaves one big question - was it a glorious defeat (in which case who made their tombs?) or a glorious victory (in which case how come Nosirrom and his Zaurasks now control those tombs?).

I am definitely aware that, in the games, that the parents of The Hero of Arhok are in no way related to the Farmer, at least as far as we know (I mean, for all we know she had siblings). In the story (both according to DS3 and mine), the Farmer worked together with a bunch of other companions she met along the way. So, this could mean either that she was a very talented leader or, at some point, someone else led. If someone else led, at least initially, it'd make sense if Gyorn, the one who already had some military experience, were the actual leader... though this would create confusion as to why the Farmer was the one who pulled through as the hero.

I think the best bet is this; Gyorn helped her a bit with strategy, but she only learned so much having spent so long with him (the time currently being unknown, but likely anywhere from a month to a year or two). 20 years later, many of the things lost their relevance as she did considerably easier tasks. Not to mention, out in the wilderness, just about anything can kill even the greatest warriors....

So... who really knows? Maybe it will continue to be a mystery. The next part isn't out yet, so his name isn't in stone yet anyway. Maybe I'll figure out something while I'm writing it? I most likely will. Nevertheless, I really appreciate your speculation(s), questions and effective knowledge of Aranna. After all, I'm not exactly writing this because I'm a master of the lore; I'm writing it because: 1. I can (it is free, so it's not technically breaking any laws) 2. I'm a fan of the series 3. I've wanted to for the last 5 or so years and only now have thought up a way that I like enough to release into the public.

P.S.

I nearly forgot! I had made a wiki! http://dungeonsiegelegacy.wikia.com/wiki/Everything

This should help keep track of the lore, especially the stuff I changed in it.
