I just got a copy of Inquest #149 and it has a small spread on Lorwyn. There's not a lot of new info, but here is what I was able to glean.
First there is a general blurb that describes the Lorwyn world with insights from Magic Art Director Jeremy Jarvis. Mentions Kithkin knights mounted on "Springjacks" standing against genocidal elvish "tracking teams". Race of manipulative faeries known as Fae. Boggarts (from Mistmeadow Skulk that will "go to any length to hoard the Kithkin's favorite possessions. "Jarvis stops just short of calling Lorwyn a tribal block..." This question is also asked: "What does kithkin magic center on? From where does a Boggart shaman draw his/her power?" They then mention Bound in Silence as a possible example of a tribal answer. If anything, it seems to point to the possibility of the tribal type being used rather than a creature block theme.
There is also a second section that highlights 3 creature types in Lorwyn. Elves, Merrow and Flamekin. It shows the previously seen flamekin picture along with the elf pic from the "elvish Predators" theme deck. There is also a new Merfolk/Merrow pic.
Elves: "Those judged most beautiful by the Admirer's Council are called 'Perfects' and are afforded every Privilege". Lorwyn elves are not just green, but green and black. The mounted elf is also identified as "Nath", a specific character... a dark huntsman of some repute.
Merrow: mentions that the Fae and the Merrow could be "split" color wise, as the elves are...no specific info though. Lorwyn has no oceans...just an elaborate network of hubs, channels that connect rivers, cisterns, etc. This creates a worldwide trading network that the Merrow use. They are mostly the merchants and diplomats of Lorwyn.
Flamekin: Elemental beings of fire and mutable stone with ornamented bodies. Passionate. "One such Flamekin driven by her passions is Ashling 'a traveler driven by a strong spiritual pull she feels to a greater force she seeks in the world of Lorwyn".
Je laisse des mecs plus en forme que moi traduire, mais la chose que je retiens, c'est que chaque race sera a priori divisé en deux couleurs (exception des élémentaux): les elfes seront vert et noir, les merrow (ondins) bleu et blanc, les boggarts (esprits ? gobelins ?) rouge et noir.
On parle également des fae (Peuple fée) qui seraient bleu et vert, de Flamekin (élémentaux) à priori de toutes les couleurs, et des amrous/kithkin qui sont blanc et ???
