I wouldn't be surprised if half of those characters barely have more than cameo level of voice lines during the show. Show is seen from Northembria's perspective, so for example Osborne would mostly make sense being heard over TV or radio as he's declaring war, or something like that. Rufus makes even less sense to be seen more for than a few lines, as AFAIK he's in Crossbell at that time, and quite busy. Out of these probably only Sara can make regular appearances imo.

From the looks of it this will cover the events that transpired between the 2nd and third games which im quite curious to see.
Looking forward to see Rean and Altina as well as the frozen northern lands of the north.

Let’s hope this doesn’t lead to the main cast being neglected or not given enough time to develop.
