Playing D:OS, I wasn't acquainted with lore of Divinity. I've recently played Divine Divinity, And now try to understand lore.

In D:OS and D:OS 2 history about something called Source. I haven't seen something like Source in DD.
Could anyone explain me, Why in D:OS we chase "Sourcers", in DD no one mention about it, in D:OS 2 Source is a bad thing again?
Or maybe it is a problem of localization or I've missed something crucial?

Yesterday started to play BD. Will see.

Before starting the gameplay demo proper, Swen explained a bit about the current state of the setting, which will be very important information for all you Divinity lore buffs out there. DOS 2 takes place after Divine Divinity and a few years before Beyond Divinity, which by my humble math places it over a thousand years after DOS 1. The Divine has just won his war against Damian and banished him to Nemesis (the game module used for the presentation was also called Module Nemesis?.

In Divine Divinity, telling about Council of Seven, Zandalor says that previous one took place about 600 years ago (or something like that) to defeat the Lord of Chaos, and every council member gave his live. And Zandalor was very yong in those days.

In D:OS Zandalor is already a powerfull wizard.
It looks like D:OS take place after Council defeat the Lord of Chaos. So there is less then 600 years between D:OS and DD.
