"Dio" is the name of the portrait in the resources website from which it was taken, so it's unprobable that it's the LL's real name. My personal headcanon is that it was kept as a nod to Dio Brando.

Mestan's stuff is part of the succession crisis. Eustrin and Aram are basically the same plotline. So that's four main plotlines: the war, the succession crisis, Aram, and Wendis / Tower exploration. I'm unsure if the Cee'Kan monster problem will be resolved in chapter 4, it may be more important for intercontinental trade in chapter 5.
