Fragments of Truth

Dear Friends,

After much searching, we have found the Archon! It seems he is being pursued by the Empire. The page that I found in the Imperial cache after the last invasion is actually a page form his journal. It seems that the Imperials plan to use the chaos predicted with the coming of the 7th Umbral Era to help further their goals of domination. One can only assume that intend to use the Archon's knowledge of the prophecy to their advantage.  Oh, what peril!!

War!

Dear Friends,

The shadows of war loom near! The Garlean Empire have began regular assaults on the three nation states. Adventurers, company soldiers and the like have taken up arms in defense. I personally have been involved in several skirmishes just outside of Gridania!

The attacks came in several waves. Several garrisons of Imperial Elite flooded the battlefield. Each time the forces retreated upon the defeat of their leader. On one occasions, I discovered a strange page of faded writing among the remains left by the imperials. The characters on the page are unreadable by me, but are reminiscent of those I've seen on the robes of the archon Urianger. Perhaps if I can manage to track him down it will shed some light on the reason for the sudden surge in hostilities.

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.
