The information did come directly from a mod discussion, she was not making it up, exaggerating or changing anything. It was also stated not to be an official communication. It's fine that you're more comfortable waiting for an answer on a mod account, but I don't want to foster an environment where players are afraid to help one another, so no action will be taken here.

You're welcome. And it's fine to ask for clarifications, your questions here might be questions others also had but hadn't asked. It's unfortunate that you felt frustrated during these communications, but the good news is that you acted positively to communicate uncertainty and if other players were also at a loss, they might also benefit from the results.

Thank you for your active interest in the setting and your poignant questions, and have fun in the newly improved log!
