I think the Warring Triad stuff is the way of building up something bigger but without making it a prerequisite to do, which may be a way to lessen the "wall" of MSQ quests if completing Heavensward is a prerequisite for the next expansion.
Same with the Scholasticate stuff except that's sort of revolving around how Ishgard is adapting as a society to what's happened throughout the events of Heavensward.
