I just unwrapped my EVE: Source. So far so good. But why is there virtually no trace of the Khanid Kingdom? Not even in the history section of the Amarr Empire the Khanid secession is mentioned. There is talk about reconciliation after the capturing of Karsoth, but that’s pretty much it. An entry in the minor factions list? Nope. While you’ll find Interbus there, the Khanid Kingdom does not appear. I am pretty disappointed. I would like to know: Is the neglect of everything Khanid happening by accident or by intent? Is this going to stay like this or will the lore team actually start caring about a Khanid storyline?

They're not the only group to get completely and utterly ignored save a near-verbatim quoting of the ingame bloodline description.

Supposedly there was more content written for them and other bloodlines but things had to be cut for space-saving reasons. Or something like that. I don't remember the exact answer I got from when I asked either Delegate Zero or Eterne (I think it was Delegate Zero) at Fanfest about it.

While it is definitely sad to see that there is indeed almost no information on the Khanid bloodline as well, it is pretty surprising that the Khanid Kingdom as a faction is left completely unmentioned. Not even a paragraph between Interbus, Intaki and Ammatar...

So my question still remains. What do devs plan to do about the Khanid Kingdom in the future? Does written, unprinted content exist? Is it going to be placed to the EVE wiki at least?

"EVE Source!??!?"

That would be such a handy source for a writer... How come they haven't offered up an Ebook version?
