The plot thickens...

Dear Friends,

My trip to Ul'dah as become very interesting... I had taken on a small job for the local temple, passing out trinkets to some locals who made some rather high-gil donations. It was during this job, that news of a recent airship crash came to my attention. It seems that an airship was headed towards Ul'dah when it crashed mysteriously. Recent intelligence reports have sighted some mysterious bandits looting through the wreckage. I agreed to scout the site and chase off any looters. However, when I arrived, I was ambushed by some rather unsavory characters. I had to fight for my life I tell you! My defeat of these knaves serves as proof that my battle skills are improving every day.

It turns out that I arrived just in time, the bandits had cornered two innocent surveyors from the Garlond Ironworks at the wreckage site. The surveyors informed me that they believed the bandits were actually Imperial scouts sent to snoop around the wrecked airship.

I returned to temple with this news, and was asked to keep this whole matter under my hat. Of course, I can tell you, right? You'll keep it secret!

Oh, Chocobo!

Dear Friends,

It is with GREAT excitement that I write you to say that I have finally rented my first Chocobo! I can't tell you how many times I wished there were enough chocobos to go around, so the stables would finally allow rentals. Well, as I mentioned in a previous letter, the nation of Ishgard has finally delivered enough healthy chocobos to the three nations, that rentals have been made available to the public!

To celebrate, I'm going to head back to Ul'dah for a few days in search of new adventures. Once I am finished there, I do believe I am going to try my luck at hitching a ride all the way to Limsa Lominsa on an airship! I have never been to the island nation of Limsa Lominsa, so visiting it via airship is sure to be double the thrill! That event will still be several days off, but I'll be sure to let you all know.

New Companions

Dear Friends,

My have I been busy! Mojo and I have fallen in league with some new companions! While working some guildleves, I encountered a fellow adventurer named Leigh. After some idle chatter, Leigh offered me a pearl to his linkshell so we could stay in touch.  Well, Leigh's shell, "Quarantine" is rather active on the aether it seems. Last night, several of us banded together outside of Camp Emerald Moss, and helped purge the area of pests.

Let me tell you, when it comes to the dangers of adventuring, having help from others really makes a difference. I look forward to the days ahead.

I hope you are all well, and I promise to write again soon!

Imperials Sighted

Dear Friends,

My fears are confirmed. The rumors about the Imperials is true. Today, while training near Camp Emerald Moss, I saw them with my own eyes. It appeared to be a scouting party. By the time I returned back to camp with the news, the guard had already been alerted.

I am proud to say that I took up arms against the Imperial spies and helped push them back. Despite the victory, this does not bode well.

All Saint's Wake

Dear Friends,

I hope all of you are enjoying the nice autumn breeze! I certainly have. I have dived headfirst into the All Saint's Wake festivities. I've managed to garner quite a collection of scary looking pumpkin hats. Haha!

I'm happy to report that I've reunited with my old friend Mojo. The two of us have been honing our skills on some guildleves in Gridania as of late. I'm quickly getting back up to speed. It is amazing how fast it all comes back to you.

I think this week I'm going to check up on old Fye and the rest of the friends I met during my earliest adventures. Luckily, I kept my journal all of this time, so following up on old leads should not be very difficult.

Expect more frequent letters in the future, I have the feeling I'll have much more to write about in the days to come.

Guess who's back...

Dear Friends,

Guess's back in Gridania and training for battle...

Foundation Day Celebration!

Dear Friends,


It has been a year since I first made my trek to Gridania. A wild and strange year it has been. As you know, I was thrust into the lifestyle of adventure quite unexpectedly. A received a rare opportunity, that admittedly I took for granted. All these months spent laying low in Ul'dah have cost me much, where it comes to reputation.

Today, the Grand Companies has launched a new recruitment campaign. But as of yet, I still have not earned enough respect among my fellow adventurers to join their ranks.

With the upcoming All-Saints festival, I intend to make my return to Gridania and pick up the pieces where I left them nearly a year ago.

Rumors of war are stronger than ever, with Imperial being spotted often. Word is that the three city-states are receiving a large number of chobobos from Ishgard. There's also talks of airship routes being opened between nations. Can you imagine that? How long have I wished for such a manner of travel. Haha!

To those of you that have joined me in Eorzea over the past year, or to those who have lost interest. I hope to see you all soon. I have a feeling, that our struggle is only just beginning...
