Curse of Dalamud

Dear Friends,


I fear that somehow I have managed to miss an important event. It seems that while I was busy with my research and training, a legion of rats ran off with a whole shipment of treasure. The treasure in questions was a shipment of earrings that were intended to be given as rewards for adventurers that participated in the Firefall Faire. Can you picture it? A whole slew of rats running off with earrings clenched between their teeth?

Rumor is that the infamous thief, The Lord of Rats, was behind it. Well, lucky of the adventurers guild, a number of able bodied heroes were able to track down the rodents and recover a number of these Moonlet Earrings. Sadly, I was not one.

This marks the first time that my inattention to new of Eorzea has led to me missing out on some item of import. I pray to the Twelve that another shipment is made available next year.

In other news, I have retrieved all of my old gear and trinkets from my retainer, Sonata. I am nearly ready to make my mark on the world. I regret all these many months of neglecting my duties.

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.
