WHEN: Early in the Seeds of Unrest (Iconoclast Oracle) event
SUMMARY/NOTES/CONTENT WARNINGS: Dimitri and Claude are snooping around Yima's manor to look for clues to the Zenith leader's whereabouts, and to perhaps learn more about her. John leads them to her chambers, as he has the same goal. They enter her chambers, but she isn't there... Unless?
This is public knowledge amongst the Meridian, as Claude summarised their findings in this group Communion after the event's conclusion.

WHERE: Alenroux
WHEN: Throughout April, until mid-May
SUMMARY/NOTES/CONTENT WARNINGS: Liem spent a lot of time in Alenroux prior to the Iconoclast Oracle event, along with other shard-bearers and some hired help sourced from Springstar. He split his time there between gathering information on the island and the local people, and assisting local workers for PR purposes, such as by doing infrastructure repair. He sent out a public communion to members of Meridian, mentioning his intentions and inviting others to assist him. While he was there, he also oversaw the construction of a house.

WHERE: The Beyond
WHEN: Kenos!April-ish
SUMMARY/NOTES/CONTENT WARNINGS: Two teams adventured into the Beyond in an effort to glean information and resources from the dark, untamed frontier outside of Highstorm. Both teams successfully survived their quest, even after blowing themselves up and obtained knowledge of explosive crystals, healing waters, tree-vampires, hallucinatory and poisonous terrain, as well as met a creature that appeared to be a former Shard-bearer, and a vision guiding them to the temple to an unknown female figure.
Cassian Andor reported the findings, to all factions.

WHERE: Cyrus' Office, The Seat of the Tribune, Springstar
WHEN: The first day of the Seeds of Unrest event (Iconoclast Oracle)
SUMMARY/NOTES/CONTENT WARNINGS: While scavenging for supplies and clues in the dead, alternate future of Kenos, Link and Dimitri make their way to Cyrus' office. Inside, they find documents and records on the Tribune's desk detailing Cyrus' desperate efforts to curtail and cure the Blight. He failed to find a solution and eventually disappeared under suspicious but unexplained circumstances. A person named Voreen succeeded him as the new Tribune, but they too failed to find a solution to the Blight, leading to the dead Kenos. Notably, in this alternate future of Kenos where its inhabitants lost to the Blight, the Meris had successfully "taken" an Oracle from the Zenites. This information was publicly shared with Meridians, but as of 6/7/23, has not been directly, publicly shared with Zenites.

WHERE: Communion
WHEN: Yima's communions in early June, after the Iconoclast Oracle
SUMMARY/NOTES/CONTENT WARNINGS: Yima informed Cassian of her motivation to remake the world (bring back her children who were lost when her world was destroyed). She also told him that only Shard-Bearers of the current generation can interact with the Oracles, and that she doesn't know much about them. In addition, she said that the Oracles "have the ability to influence and channel the Tree's power. It is not so much the Oracles who will deliver us to our future, but the Tree itself. The Oracles are merely a tool along the way."
* assuming this is all the truth, glances at Yima
This is not yet public information
because Cassian's post was already really long and idk how much of this was already knownbut not something he intends to keep secret! Feel free to DM me to discuss him telling your character if you'd want, and I'll update when/if this information comes up more publicly.LINK: link

Apprehended by the Helios Legionary, they were held for several hours in prison, with their fate being their ousting and ban from Heliopolis.

WHERE: The Beyond + the Mysterious Temple in the Beyond
WHEN: Late-Warqu (July), but before the Resort Event!
SUMMARY/NOTES/CONTENT WARNINGS: First revealed in a vision by Lady Yima, the temple in the far north of the Beyond has finally been explored. Within, frescos and mosaics and the mysterious headless and armless figure of a woman are uncovered and studied, resulting in the identification of the long-forgotten goddess within and new questions arising.
This lore has not officially been shared with members of Meridian, or Zenith!
LINK: Skip to the temple part!

WHERE: Alenroux forest
WHEN: Mid-Warqu (early August)
SUMMARY/NOTES/CONTENT WARNINGS: Meridian military teams led by Hayame, Liem, and Dextera have breached the forests of Alenroux to find the source of the monsters once and for all. The three teams located three different monster-spewing portals and linked cornerstones, all of which they then destroyed. Due to time distortions surrounding the portals, the expeditions returned weeks later in early Iqnu (early September), despite the expeditions only taking several days.
The discovery of these portals was shared in a general communion after the return of the expeditions.

In the process, they publicly reveal a variety of details, including the following:

WHERE: A mass Communion, from atop the rubble of Yima's Manor.
WHEN: During the Soot of Ignorance event, after the destruction of the Manor + death? of Yima.
SUMMARY/NOTES/CONTENT WARNINGS: Set taunts Zenith after Meridian's weapon destroys their manor and leader to both protect the identities of the others involved in the weapon's use and to galvanize the rival faction. Because he's weird. It's public record that he broadcast this into everyone's mind, too — he's not hiding anything!
LINK: You should have stuck to losing Oracles.

WHERE: The Spire > The Crown > Byleth's House.
WHEN: Results came after the 100+ years' sleep.
SUMMARY/NOTES/CONTENT WARNINGS:
Over the course of several IC months, Yuri and various friends pursued research pertaining to the nature of the world they find themselves in. After first investigating researcher Sain-Breq's murder, they then challenged the house and won in Coalbrand's casino, The Crown. Following the Shardbearers' long sleep, Coalbrand paid a visit to Byleth's house to deliver the promised research to Yuri in-person and share advice.
Publicly-known Information
• Sain-Breq was murdered before they were able to release research with shocking findings.
• Aspects have long been linked to constellations, given little more meaning than horoscopes and fortune telling.
Privately-known Information
• As of yet, the content of the research and how to handle its dissemination is being discussed privately in a backdated communion post.
• The research conclusively confirms that Shardbearers have been put through cycles in which they have been possessed of a different Aspect each time.
• These cycles are a process of a soul "developing" toward a "completed" state and progress from ignorance toward enlightenment.
• According to Coalbrand, Shardbearers do not dream. What they have seen in sleep are memories of past cycles.
