Back from the dead

Dear Friends,

I am writing to inform you that I have decided to come out of retirement and return to my life adventuring. Through much meditation and dedicated training, I feel almost as if.... I have been reborn. Don't I look totally emo? Haha!

I fear I waited to long, as the Firefall Faire is almost over. You know I have a soft spot for holiday celebrations. The thought of missing out on some exlusive swag bugs me to no end!

I have included a poster for the event. Now pardon me while I chase some bombs around in my bathing suit.... (Don't ask).

The Imperials

Dear Friends,

Heavens! It is much haste that I write this. Agents of the Empire have been sighted within Eorzea.
Upon hearing the rumors, I decided to see for myself... It is true. The Twelve be with us. War is on the horizon.

I feel the need to help. But I have fallen out of shape, I don't know that I have the skills nessecary to contribute. I feel an intense need to reinvent myself and take up arms against this new threat.

More on this descision later.

Oh my...

Dear Friends,

What is this world coming to... the rumors are true. The Grand Companies of Eorzea have been reformed and are actively recruiting.

I earned a bit of coin today by spreading the word to would-be members about the recruitment. However, when I visited the headquarters of the Twin Adder in Gridania, I was turned away. Apparently, they feel I am not quite hardened enough. And to think I was off to such a good start.

I suppose I need to decide if I truly want to be an adventurer in Eorzea or simply bow out and leave the battles to those with a stronger will.

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.
