Tales from the Calamity: Where Victory and Glory Lead
- A tale for Merlwyb Quote:We are lost, thought Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn. Immured for eons and free at last, the primal Bahamut laid waste to the Carteneau Flats, burning Eorzeans and Garleans alike. But I will find a way. Tearing her gaze away from the bloody churn, she bit down gently on her tongue—an old commanders' trick—and despite the ash-laden air, the voice that issued from her throat was as clear as compass wind. |

Tales from the Calamity: The Sultana’s Seven
Nanamo's Tale~ Quote:Nanamo watched from her private terrace as the Immortal Flames filed out of Ul’dah. The host left the city via the Gate of Thal─an egress symbolizing passage into the afterlife─in hopes of cheating death upon the battlefield. Crowds had gathered for the occasion, their boisterous cheers resounding through the sultanate, but Nanamo did not hear them. She stood transfixed before the balustrade as Raubahn put his spurs to his courser, and there she remained long after the dust had settled in the rearguard’s wake. She had steeled herself for this moment, but when it finally came, she found that her courage had deserted her all the same. Suddenly, the reality of her isolation was only too plain, and the mere thought of it made her struggle for breath. I am alone. May the gods grant me strength. |

Some things I find interesting and would like to discuss!
Nanamo herself (5-6 years from present in-game time) calls her age to soon be "six and ten summers of age". ... What does this even mean? Also, Raubahn adopted a lalafell for his son. Pipin Tarupin (also an officer of the Immortal Flames, WE HAVE A NAME FOR SOMEONE!). Raubahn is totally going to set his son up with Nanamo. /runs Also, it's great to know how the Cocobros sans Cocobusi became the joint masters of the Guild. |

It means exactly what it sounds like: Nanamo was soon going to hit her sweet sixteen 5 years ago (making her current age 21).
Given the nature of the Sultanate position, it's not far-fetched that she was forced into it from a young age, much like we've had young leaders in our own history due to circumstances (though these "rulers" often end up being mere puppets of someone else pulling the strings). Edit: Damn you, coatleque! Well, at least I provide more information... |

... I forgot that it might be read similar to XVI ><;
It's early. >.> I'm at work. /offers feeble excuses. OH! Another thing I found interesting. Found out how that the THM in Halatali HM was the 1.0 THM Guildmaster and here I learn that he was ousted. Nice. |

Tales from the Calamity: Of Friends Lost and Found
Kan-E Sanna's Tale~ Quote:The battle was over, but none could say that peace had returned to Carteneau. The lesser moon—and the winged abomination that burst from its belly—had visited devastation on the once-fertile flats, leaving naught but a scarred wasteland for as far as the eye could see. |

Minfillia's Tale~ Quote:White and red. A flurry of petals, falling upwards into the sky. Like rain returning to the clouds. |

Tales from the Calamity: In Louisoix’s Wake
Alphinaud and Alisae's tale~ Quote:The ship glided out of the harbor, slowly gathering speed as its sails caught the brisk coastal breeze. Standing atop the quay wall with their father, Alphinaud and Alisaie bore witness to the vessel’s departure—watched as Louisoix Leveilleur, their beloved grandsire, was carried away across the sea. |
