An item of interest.

Dear Friends,


I guess it should go without saying, that depsite all of the interesting goings-ons, I suppose I have all but retired. My interests have been mostly in gossiping and selling my wares instead of adventuring.

That being said, my interest has been piqued recently. There is talk of strange dungeons and raids on beastmen strtongholds going on throughout Eorzea. I'm keeping an ever watchful eye.

Here's another article regarding some of the things I've mentioned.

Rumors abound

Dear Friends,

In Gridania, we have a local gossip paper of sorts. It's called The Raven. The popularity of this newspaper grew during the odd hijinks of the Hatching Tide. I usually don't pay much attention to it. However, they recently printed an article about a local "haunted dungeon" of sorts. I thought you might find it interesting, so I've enclosed it in my letter.

I personally, have not been involved in much lately. I'm waiting to see what the future holds.

Times they are a changin'

Dear Friends,

Something is afoot... There is a weird feeling in the air and very few answers to be found. Yesterday, a dark storm fell over the entire realm of Eorzea. A great rain fell from the sky. In the region of Thanalan, just outside of Ul'dah, a mysterious soothsayer has been seen, appearing from nowhere. He has been reported as speaking a very cryptic message:

"Hear my words if you are in search of truth…
The disaster in Hydaelyn is imminent…
The time of awakening has come for those who are preparing to tackle the chaos in motion…
The future is not immutable… You can still change it…
When the sixth sun will have set and the seventh moon shine in the sky, the ocean of clouds poured a rain of fiery flames and shadows fatal burst forth from the depths of the earth…
The “Seventh Purification” predicted by Mezaya approaches…
You who are in search of truth… wake up and put yourself against the imminent threat…"

I fear his warning harkens back to the prophecy of the 7th Umbral (a time not too far away).

Alongside thee odd reports, are the sudden discovery of crystals that have been drained of their elemental power. I have found a few of these myself, while undertaking tasks assigned to me on guildleves.


I worry that all of these strange things, the rain, and the recent prophecy of the Archons all spell a grim future. I hope you are all safe. I intend to keep my ear to the ground and investigate this further.

Hatching Tide

Dear Friends,

Ok. This is just weird. Apparently, some kind of super-hottie neo cult leader has prophecised that a slew of Archons are about to descend on Eorza. She has resorted to passing out lavishly decorated eggs as part of her attempt to get people to listen. Good news is, she's dispatched emmisarys to pay for these eggs. And umm.. the one in Gridania is pretty cute!

Anyways, the rewards for assisting are very fancy looking egg-helms. I decided to contribute by seeking out several bands of Spriggans that had been known to be hording some dodo eggs. During my quest, you'll never guess who I ran into? My OLD friend "Mojo Bone".

I have to admit it was nice having a familar face to talk to. I haven't had any real close friends since I ran into Sparkajen, and there's no telling where he's ran off to.

So, if it's your kind of thing, Happy Hatching Tide to you all!

Happy Hatching Tide!

Whaaaaa?

Dear Friends,

If my eyes do not deceive me I do believe I just saw a recruitment poster for the Grand Companies of Eorzea.  What horrible doom lies on the horizon that these armies are looking for new members?

I'm taking a "let's see approach" before deciding to involve myself too greatly.

Business is picking up

Dear Friends,

You will be pleased to know that things are starting to get moving around here. Lately, a number of people about town have been approaching me with various requests. Needless to say, it is exciting to have something to do! I won't get in to all the particulars, but I feel like a bit of "monster-assassin". Needless to say, I've been keeping myself busy.

Admittedly, since recovering from my "hair dye incident", I have been playing as bit of catch up. Forgive me!

What are they feeding those things....

Dear Friends,


I just saw the biggest Marmot I have ever seen. Wait there's another....
