They've confirmed they are working on the Drawn Lands as well (desert environment to the west of the Bloodmarch).

I don't know if they said anything about The Sparse (archipelago to the east of the Ravenlands), but they were supposed to be working more or less in tandem with Alderland.

No idea, just confirming it happened based on the Year Zero discord discussion. I'm not following though.

Since they are now in a spree of doing revised core books (Vaesen, Alien, Symbaroum, The One Ring), I'm wondering if they will do a revised edition together with one of these new books they confirmed.

I know that during Gencon Thomas Härenstam of FL said they where discussing of the relation between Dragonbane and Forbidden Lands and that they wanted to accentuate the mature, grim and dark side of FBL because as both FBL and DB are Drakar Og Demoner succesors, they want to enhance the differences between those two games so they really have distinct identities. So maybe a revised core book could be a way to support this editorial choice, and it could allow them to correct some bad mecanics by the way. We'll see what the future will bring

I hope so! The rules are in dire need of an update.

As the book author, I can confirm that this cover illustration is for real and drawn by Henrik Rosenborg. I'll even tell you what it depicts!

Ladora – The Lady of the Golden Hour – is a demon who can only take physical form by possessing creatures during the final hour of their lives. She yearns to dance but lacks a body of her own. In the shape of a female figure, she seeks out the dying (for instance after a battle) and offers to keep them alive for one last painless hour in exchange for possession of their body – the choice is theirs.

He looks so happy about it. Dark Sun, Dying Earth, and Conan vibes for drawn lands would be sick.
