If that is a strange summary then I'm sorry, but that was the only relevant information I was able to garner from season two's first couple of chapters-. At least we can agree that maybe Anet can do better in the future with their plots and catching players up. Especially considering they don't seem to be afraid to sit an npc somewhere that can answer questions pertaining to the story. Though I should say for anyone reading to keep playing if they dislike most of the characters as I did, Taimi, Rox and Braham came around for me and I've been liking them. Kasmeer is a bimbo and Marjory just doesn't have any personality still so far.

Caudecus is introduced in the core story and in the Queensdale map and then again in the Caudecus Manor dungeon. He is not introduced via LS1. So yes, you you should absolutely know who Caudecus is unless you skipped the early - still available - content However, the Bloodstones and the White Mantle are significant parts of Guild Wars 1, so yes apart from some titbits in core maps, it is likely many newer players to the franchise will be confused here OH?! Do people do dungeons while leveling? I had always chalked that up to a far too time expensive side quest. That's too bad they're relying on you doing a heart in queensdale or an optional dungeon to know what is going on.

I'm dealing with the same thing with Season 3 now. Was I supposed to know who Caudecus was or even what a bloodstone is? It's heartily annoying my character talks about it like it's common knowledge but doesn't give any exposition to help me understand. The same thing happened to me in season 2 where I just wandered around not knowing what was going on until the very end of the story.
