Â Yeah, it serves an in-game mechanic, but in the storyline itself, the soulstone is not what makes you a White Mage. Â It simply tells Raya-O that A-Towa has chosen you as his successor.
I tend to agree with this except when it comes to Scholar. But Scholar lore is so afterthoughty and wonky I don't even know why I try sometimes. ;_;

-fall into same category as Sprites, Elementals. Elementals rule Black Shroud and out. Sprites and Faes are lesser elementals. Draw from aether in the world for power.
Origin of how Faeries became Scholar's fairies?
-While they are taxonomy of Elementals, they were made by Scholars. They were created by Scholars out of the power of the elementals.
Wow they actually answered my question. Seems like Faeries and Carbuncles are much more alike being that they are crafted, however Faeries draw from the world's aether to maintain their physical manifestation.
Since Scholars crafted Faeries I wonder if the art of their creation will be unearthed so that more and more faeries will be brought into the world. Though I wonder if faeries are bound to the Scholar like a blood-pact or if they are bound to a Scholar's soul crystal sorta like a lich or homunculus. Since the Faerie you get in the quests was "sleeping" in the soul crystal and Surito Cartio couldn't use it due to his mutated aetheric resonance, it may in fact be a bit of both.

This actually implies that it would be possible to get a faerie without having a soulcrystal, however, you would require a different way to learn the whole scholarly goodness.

Mmm
Quote:A: We know Teledji Adeledji has a connection to the royal blood line, hes a prince. But is he connected to Nanamos blodline?
MCKF: No he’s not. I can tell you he’s not part of the Ul bloodline.
A: So we’ll just keep speculating on that in the forums them!
So Koji Fox specifically says that Telediji is -not- part of the Ul line but he doesn't say "no he's not royalty".
I hope it comes out in 2.4 T_T;

Why does everyone bring up SCH as the "end-all be-all" when it comes to Soulstones?
Have we totally forgotten SMN?

With this revelation, I'm secretly hoping Teledji is a Sil Prince. That would make a choice storyline.

I wish they'd elaborate a little on the whole thing about Elezen having "slightly extended" lifespans. As in, how much is "slightly." Because until I'm told otherwise, I'm not playing the whole stereotypical "fantasy elf" age dealio. Yvelont's just 30. 30! And looks it!
RE: Lore panel answers - Kage - 10-23-2014
I wouldn't say it is all that much more. He says that they're all essentially the same so I'd say 10-20 more unless I read it wrong

Well if Alphinaud and Alisaie are 16, but look 10-12-ish that gives us a bit of frame of reference as to how Elezen age. They clearly mature slower but not that slow, so it definitely can't be more than 10-20 years longer than the average non-Elezen.
