As for Orcent, it doesn't matter when you have Balia focus on orc evolution, as long as it is before Orcents transformation, therefore, it's fine if you selecti it at the start of this section. The difference in outcome between having it or not is, Balia +2, Aka +1, Yarra +1, Qum +1, Hilstara +1 and Acceptance +1.

As for dealing with Eustrin, there probably isn't a great difference. Either way, we're going to Eustrin next update. The plot probably won't deviate significantly based on which decision you made, so it basically comes down to which choice gives the player more information. In some ways, the letters seem best, because you do get information that you wouldn't otherwise. On the other hand, direct communication allows Simon and Neranda to come to an understanding, which would theoretically make the upcoming visit run much smoother. The sending diplomats option doesn't really offer any new information. Theoretically, since you were able to get the diplomats in, it would perhaps be easier for Simon to gain entry, but he's going to gain entry either way, so I kind of doubt it matters.
