Well then, might as well spill the beans.
In lore there is a kingdom, I presume to the south of Vyrndal, called Vraxis, "A southern jungle kingdom populated by anthro raptors." There is also a Swamp, "far south of Silverpine. Not a nice place to be in." And in that swamp Temple. "A strange temple in the swamp. Not much is known about it." I'm not sure if that's a dungeon, but I haven't seen it on the map or I'm blind. I suspect you can ask NPCs about any nearby kingdom and Vraxis might get brought up. (haven't done this yet) If Vraxis is a nearby kingdom, then I further speculate the blacksmith NPC, that doesn't exist, would have been a raptor. I only suspect that because every playable PC and NPC is some kind of carnivore or omnivore. A raptor would fit in.
I think Mirel has two character.json one for when she lives in Thalassar and one for when she's living in Silverpine with %PLAYER_NAME%. Her description is duplicated with subtle changes to where she lives. It says she's, " a well endowed herm kobold", which was a surprise, but I suspected one of the NPCs would be. "Also there was a unique note, <private_split>high libido|hopelessly high libido but tries to keep it contained and to not bother other people with it</private_split>." After looking at the other NPC, none of them have this weird private split note. Just a very interesting tid bit about her. I'll be sure to bring it up next time I play.
The "secretly extremely gay" character is still a mystery as there was no context for it. It could be a character never added, like maybe a Blacksmith NPC that never got added or any of the current 8. No Idea who, but I'd suspect it's Darian only because he's made overtures to my male character at low (25 - 40ish I'd guess) relationship score early. Not sure if that's normal for him as I don't talk to him too often, since I play my character's as a early riser, and wake at 4 or 5AM after he goes to bed, so I don't see him for most of the day.
There is apparently a kitsune statue you can place and use as furniture? I haven't seen one yet, so I can only assume it's a drop in a dungeon or not implemented.
