A cluster of hastily scrawled posters have been tacked up on the walls of every major tavern and pub in Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, and Ul'dah. It states the following:
Have you a breathtaking story of greatness an' heroism?
Or perhaps a tale of betrayal, mystery, and intrigue? Have you ever wanted to share your fantastic recountings of epic adventures ...while helping a young bard achieve her greatest dreams at the same time?!
WELL NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!!
I, Bard Leilani Leilai, invite YOU to my very first Storytelling Circle at Gridania's Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre!!Have you a breathtaking story of greatness an' heroism?
Or perhaps a tale of betrayal, mystery, and intrigue? Have you ever wanted to share your fantastic recountings of epic adventures ...while helping a young bard achieve her greatest dreams at the same time?!
WELL NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!!
It is my goal t'be the bestest bard there ever was, but all th'older bards have a leg up on me on account of bein' older and stuff, and knowing more stories. So that's where you come in! Tell me your stories and I'll have your greatness RECORDED IN THE ANNALS OF HISTORY THROUGH SONG.
The first eight volunteers t'give me their names will be able to tell me their stories and afterwards, I'll work my magic and them all into th'most beautiful of lyrics. You'll be able to hear your tales crooned by bards and people in all th'taverns an' bars of Eorzea as they catch on like wildfire!Â
Visitors are more than welcome to come and are encouraged t'listen to the stories being told in the spirit of bard-dom!
Hope to see folks there soon! May th'Twelve watch your back!

What The Heck Is Going On?:Â Bard Leilani Leilai is looking for 8 awesome people to volunteer as storytellers.
Afterwards, Leilani will take the story told to her, turn it into a song, and send it to the original storyteller. True, false, it matters not. You can tell any tale you like and Leilani will make it into a song for you - or at least provide you with a brief snippet of the full song.
People are free to come to the Amphitheatre to listen to the stories as an audience. However, I am keeping the maximum number of storytellers at 8 to prevent the event from dragging on for a very long time. If enough people end up wanting to be storytellers, Leilani will host more Storytelling Circles after this one. (After all, she needs more songs to be th'BESTEST BARD THERE EVER WAS!)
I want to volunteeeeer! What should I do?:Â
- Make sure to prepare your story beforehand! That way you can enjoy hearing the stories of others instead of ignoring them as you hastily try to think yours up on the fly.Â
- Try to keep the story reasonably short! While we all love reading, the massive Homeric epics should probably be saved for the forums so that the event doesn't start to drag on for three hours. (It's happened before at another event.)
- Your story can be about anything! It can be something your character heard at a bar. It can be a creative fiction they wrote themselves. It can be something that happened to your character. It can be something that happened to another character. It can be totally made up things that happened to another character's imaginary wife's steel-plated Allagan Space Primal! Just remember to have fun!
- If 8 people have already volunteered by the time you do, you'll be added to the list for the next Storytelling Circle.Â
