I agree that the firstborn is not in the game. FROM stated in an interview it was meant to be Andre and then it was removed. Howver the idea of a connection between the firstborn and Velka is definitely very interesting. In the first trailer we see a woman giving the hero a feather, I don't believe this is Velka I think it's one of the followers, which is interesting as the hero has to find a way into the Castle of the Dragons (maybe flying??) which very strongly resembles the painted world of Aramis (This was recently stated on an interview with IGN looking over at the gameplay footage). Could the hero be a the reason why Velka's follwoers were corrupted and turned to harpies, did he lead the way for them to be able to fly? Could this be part of the reason why he was stripped of his diety? It's all speculation but to me it's becoming apparent that DS 2 will def. focus around Velka lore.
