RE: Your excuse for Ishgard? - Lady Rivienne - 05-11-2015
Rivienne has someone to.. take care of out there. Also, her husband was summoned, seeing that they both have Ishgardian blood, it is natural for his wife to go watch his back.. and visit her family as well.
Fun times ahead.

Nako has too many faces also yiiisss but wait isn't Kurt essentially everyone's retainer at the RWings?

Hmm, for many characters, I don't think an excuse is necessary. The opening of the gates will be such a big deal politically and economically, that countless adventurers and traders are going to head out there purely for the new business and opportunities

Qhora, too. Well, she's not so worried about safety, but she's not going to scale skywalls with a bunch of angry men with spears on the other side for the sake of mere curiosity. She's not completely unfamiliar with the place, but I'll get to decide what she might remember from travelling the area (not the city itself) before the Calamity.
And I'm rather hoping that getting to be an adventuring tourist in a place she's developed a sort of fondness for will help brush away some of the uber-emo she's been suffering from for the past year or so. Of course, it might make it worse, but that's the adventure!

I'll consider sending Andre that way should he find himself worrying about Clover who I think will be going there for reasons.
RE: Your excuse for Ishgard? - Saefinn - 05-11-2015
Heavensward has worked out quite convenient for us, for a number of reasons.
For a long time, I have been trying to ICly negotiate business with Ishgardians, at an early stage, I saw potential profits for us in a nation in a war against dragons, they need supplies, we know how to get them. It has been a long time of trust building. Saefinn dreams of being the first Pirate Captain to have a deal with Ishgard since closing their gates.
But the convenience doesn't halt there. Pirates...on airships, oh yes. Sky Pirates, we have a magitek engineer among us too, talking of ship parts. Oh, and what will we see for our dear Scholar Captain? Get a load of the Scholar AF in Heavensward, Steampunk, yes! And a perfect suit for Saefinn, if I dare say so myself.
Events in 2.55 will help aid RP with my alt, X'hayu, the Sultansworn, she is likely to follow our crew into Ishgard and well, Dark Knight might be the appropriate next step, given the actual lore for it and given her general disposition and the current frame of mind she is in. I was originally going to keep her a Paladin (levelling Dark Knight on 2 characters is a PITA), but it may actually turn out to be a suitable fit for her - not necessarily an experiencing one, so I might not level her all the way straight away, let it build on her in a realistic time frame. From Paladin to Dark Knight, I know, Cecil wouldn't be pleased.
In fact, the events in 2.55 will help with our advance to Ishgard, but will be interesting to see how the story pans out into Ishgard, but I can see us taking advantage of Ul'dah as well as things in Ishgard. We already exploit Ul'dah occasionally.
Rich men, many a corrupt, so doesn't hurt the conscience if their pockets were a tad lighter. We like being criminals for a good cause, well, most of us, some just enjoy the ride.

Zutoto's pretty easy, she's just fascinated by this kinda stuff, and she wants to see what Ishgard food is like.
RE: Your excuse for Ishgard? - Gone. - 05-11-2015
One of Vetiver's closest friends is Ishgardian, so that's one excuse. The other would be if the Astrologian guild happens to be located there as I plan on having her study it on an IC level.
For Foxglove? Who knows. I'm sure she'll get dragged there at some point, I just don't know how or why.

A terrifying dream of a multi-armed monstrosity wielding many a blade in its ferocious claws...Of a massive whale that swims through the heavens and devours anything that crosses it...Of a towering automaton the likes of which shall shake the foundation of the earth and shatter the sky.
A call to protect the innocent that a man of his caliber cannot dare refuse...
RE: Your excuse for Ishgard? - Ryanti - 05-12-2015
This works out very well for my character, and his family history. Ryanti's father is Hyur, and his side of the family is Hyur. They have been a mainstay of Ul'Dah for hundreds of years, but they go back to Ishgard before that. However, the family has been out of touch with their ties to the North and their history of them being up there.
So basically, Ryanti wants to go up there to fulfill a personal quest of re-discovering his family's history; his ancient lineage is what he wants to uncover.
Deviating from personal reasons to business ones, Ryanti wants to get into investing for Skysteel Industries. He also wants to get his family's focus away from Ul'Dah for good especially because of all that's happened recently. Also, Sharlayan remnants are up there, and he needs to follow that too. His superiors for his black label job are up North.
All of the arrows seem to point North for him, so North he will go.

SUDDENLY DISTANT FAMILY TIES TO ISHGARD
RE: Your excuse for Ishgard? - Nicholas Graveshire - 05-12-2015
Nick can't go close to Ul'dah, and since he needs to bring in money to support himself, Ishgard seems to be a prime spot to bring in the cash because he's a doctor and a healer. The merc company he works for will also probably be heading up there as a group.

He's not called Zachary of the Winding Road for nothing, now is he? Where the road goes, he goes. Where there's yet to be a road, he'll make one.
