Regarding Armies of Gilienor being canon, it's an interesting question.
The practical way to answer it is not, I think, in some abstract sense of whether or not it was at some point given some particular abstract status.
The practical question is, is it a source that we're making sure future content is consistent with? Is it something that we're actively researching to ensure compatibility? The answer I'm afraid is no. It's a source of inspiration, but given that future content will most likely conflict or diverge with it, there's no point using it as a literal transcription of the events of that period.
So regardless of its abstract status, in practical terms Armies of Gielinor should not be considered canon.
We will move across their borders and pick our teeth with their bones. We will flush them from their homes and crush them beneath our paws. We will finally be free of the filthy Brown Tigers once and for all! White Tiger Kingdom! White Tiger World!
