What are my origins, how are You and Ean involved?

That's just cute.As for the vote/question, I side with the unholy alliance of Baltika9 and Esquilax.
Oh, Sek... where art thou?
If Fenrir really has outgrown all the plotting and schemes, why did it make a bet with Dagrun and influence the outcome?
You knew that these cults were mostly led by people that were similar to you, though your Watchers had insisted that they were parasites off your power and had to be eliminated eventually. These cults were backed by various Watchers, though there were some that operated independently, like the Cult of the Returned Emperor. According to them, your – Ean’s – power had been inherited by these cults somehow, and as the original incarnation of the First Emperor, it was your destiny to defeat the pretenders and retake your throne. To that end, they would kill and manipulate events so as to bring you to power, eventually. You could sense that their goals were probably sincere, but there was still something they were not telling you. You had refrained from questioning them too much after you had found out that your good friend Aodh was possibly a mind reader.

treave, is Diogenes quite sure that his Watchers are also unaware of his origins as well? It would suck pretty hard to ask the wolf a question that we can easily find through mundane means.
Also, has Diogenes managed to discover anything further about what our Watchers know?
Esquilax's questions make sense to me, though treave could obviously troll us for Q1 - "You were born under ordinary circumstances, and thus neither I nor Ean were involved." Great.

Why don't you ask Fenrir that?
Esquilax's questions make sense to me, though treave could obviously troll us for Q1 - "You were born under ordinary circumstances, and thus neither I nor Ean were involved." Great. Q2 guarantees relevant answers with long-term benefits, and tells us a lot more about what we should do right now as well.
Esquilaxian Q2: What is behind Shinar's troubles, and how is Ean involved?
“What’s so interesting about me?”
“Everything. Your birthplace is unknown. Your birth parents are unknown. You were adopted by Velius Camna at the age of 10. You graduated with honours from the Imperial Academy, with the highest marks in the subjects of politics and foreign affairs. Despite that, you refused an offer to serve directly with the Imperial Office of Foreign Affairs, instead opting for a posting in your hometown of Aritim, the capital of Etruria. Your reason was this – ‘I wanted to be close to my father and my betrothed.’"
...“Do you remember your birth parents? Do you remember what happened before you were adopted?”
You didn’t, and you do not reply.
“You are the real Ean, and your actions have proven yourself to be smart and ruthless enough to retake your mantle. You are worthy of our aid.”

Hmm. We all seem to be focused on getting the most info out of him as possible. Let's not forget about his warning though.What is the total knowledge of all of my rivals?
That's part of what I like about "What must I do to triumph against all my rivals?"I think I need not warn you about the dangers of knowing too much, though; it is something you have already realized for yourself.
What must I do to become the fully restored Ean?
doesn't sound attractive. I very well may flop, because once Ean is back, all the pretenders can just get in line and suck it.How can I fully restore Emperor Ean?
Something tells me that we are not Ean's shard and that Ean will come in back by himself, eventually. Making Fenrir's answer "You wait." And even if he does tell us, it may take us a while.How can I fully restore Emperor Ean?
Flop to make it more interesting: What's behind Shinar's troubles, how are you and Ean involved?
