I am speaking to you today to remind you of a fact that many of the citizens of Eorzea have seemed to have forgotten. Not long ago our home faced certain destruction, we fought tooth and nail against the Garlean Empire, and we battled against the very forces of nature in the form of Primals. I fear now that the citizens have become complacent in these dark times, all too eager to roll over and accept their fate. I for one will not go quietly into the night, and my order and I are all to eager to take up arms once again for the people of Eorzea.
The threat of Dalamud is over, but the Garlean Empire still festers like an infection at our borders, the Primals still drain our land of its life blood, and new threats grow every day in this Umbral Era. Still, our worst enemies are in fact ourselves. The homeless, the lost, and the broken continue to pile up each and every day and hope becomes a commodity in this time far more precious than Gil, and I come to you this day to tell you that it is something we have in abundance. Hope that we will see through these dark times, hope that the people of Eorzea will be tempered by this era and be even stronger in the end, and hope that these words will not fall on deaf ears.
So I ask you my brothers and sisters, join us and help protect this great land we all call home, whether ye be Adventurer, Merchant, Artisan, or Scholar we extend this offer to all those who will heed the call. Should you have need of us, you need only offer a single Cowry to the fountain at the Arrzarenth Ossuary in Ul'dah. We are watching. We are waiting.
Regards,
A.
