quiet everyone. There will be no talking lest it be about Adventure Y. Let us not discuss Gazebos, Anime, taxes, religion, sports, christmas, new years, politics, or tarrasques. Especially tarrasques!

Well, it could be worse. Just imagine having Cliff Racers all over the place in Adventure Y's worldmap. A Tarrasque or two are cute in comparison to these screeching flying horrors!
So Bengoshi doesn't have to do all the work of updating the initial post, I figured I could make a post here and point it out to him later (and update it as people point out other things).
So what do we actually know about Adventure Y at this point?
Possible screenshots (these have since been redacted)
isn't adventure Y for BG2? Why so low leves and what's the Grand Dukes have to do with this adventure? Something is wrong here, are these really screenshots of adventure Y?

Adventure Y is allegedly set between the events of BG1 and BG2.
It will hopefully explain the loopiness of having Minsc caged in the beginning of BG2 even though you watched Manish guards chop him down to hamster food after you came back from murdering his witch.
Also Phil mentioned on twitter: phil daigle @daigledopple 40m40 minutes ago #bgee #bg2ee #iwdee #adventureY hearing this new score by @SamHulick in-game is pretty great. Very Baldur's Gatey.
So all we need to know is what this internal review consisted of, what sections were coded psuedo-coded storyboarded or just drafted. So if a friendly dev could just explain their internal processes we'll be fine. Of course it may be easier for the dev to tell us what state adventure Y is in but that's life.
Desharik: You wish me to have you thrown into the asylum? That is certainly an odd request, through not in itself an indication of madness. What are you trying to accomplish? I can indeed have people committed to Spellhold, but why would you request it? Protagonist: I am clearly deranged. Look who I travel with! Minsc, meet the Pirate Lord! Minsc: Pirate Lord? Such a name does not conjure images of righteous behavior. Stand still a moment and let Boo have a look at you. Desharik: Er, why is your friend pointing a hamster at me? Minsc: Boo will soon have you figured out. You certainly seem friendlier than I would think a Pirate Lord would be. And where is your peg? Desharik: My--- what? Minsc: Your peg, A proper pirate has a peg, whether a leg, arm or… uh… some other expendable extremity. And a parrot. Desharik: A parrot? Minsc: Certainly! As I have my Boo, so too must you have your parrot. Boo likes parrots. They could wrassel. Desharik: I’ve seen enough. Congratulations, you are on your way to Spellhold. You are clearly a danger to the general community. By the gods. I think I’m stupider for talking to you. Stupider? More Stupid? Get them out of my sight, all of them! They may all have this disease of the mind.

Fan gets to name/design a character
Fan's character will not be a gnome and will be of a playable race (with the hope that someday he is made into an NPC mod).
Its not BG3
The closest thing we have to a release date is (hopefully) sometime in the 2nd half of 2015
Apart from what is written in the initial post (specifically the things about it being related to the bhaalspawn saga) do we know anything else?
Additions to initial post.
Possibly new music by Sam Hulick (brought up by FalkonSwiftblade)
Jennifer Hale was talked to at one point about another project (Providing voicework for Dynaheir perhaps?)
VO work is being done in both Edmonton and LA.

BG2EE related reveals.
Neera was given soup by Khalid at Bridgefort (mentioned in ToB by Neera when Jaheira is in the group).
Khalid and Jaheira at some point become separated at Bridgefort (mentioned in ToB by Jaheira if you have Rasaad in your group).
It will hopefully explain the loopiness of having Minsc caged in the beginning of BG2 even though you watched Manish guards chop him down to hamster food after you came back from murdering his witch.
It is a DLC attached to the first game.

It's been internally reviewed.
It's been internally reviewed, it is what it is. It will be further announced when it's further announced
