There is currently no plan to make the overgrown TP-stone plates usable. Some of them exist because the stones plates were placed on the maps before the teleport system for them was added or even planned, but they weren't in locations where I wanted to make a TP connection to.
Why do you need a teleport stone plate to the castle? You get the teleport stone Central from Trey, which brings you back to the sleeping chambers from almost everywhere. You can find it in your inventory.
No, the choice between the Earl and King have no consequences at the moment, apart from a different dialog in the duel of Varea against the ruler. The choice will only affect something, if either the Earl or the King are still in power during the time skip events.

The alraunes used to be at Whisperwind Farm. Apparently I forgot to update the hint when I changed their location. Thanks for the info.
The nature raid is the hardest of all raids at the moment. You either need more fire attack weapons/skills, or in general better equipment and higher levels before you try it agian, if you struggle a lot with it.
The unqiue abilities about each raid boss are explained in the walkthrough.
If you want an in-depth discussion about possible strategies and party formations for the raid, feel free to join us on discord. There are quite often discussions on discord about how to optimize the party, and what skills and combos work the best.
