3. If you create a 2nd toon, there is no reason at all to stay on SIlan.....you can leave at level 1 and your 2nd toon will not be gimped in any way. You already learned the game on 1st toon, redoing those lessons would serve littl purpose unless you "missed" something.
Although, it can be nice to take advantage of the free materials Sterga Hamla on Silan gives you during his missions.
