I need things! - Desu Nee - 09-04-2015

Well, I should have been more descriptive on the title, but I honestly couldn't put into words. So, cutting to the chase, I would be very happy if someone could post me the Lore tidbits in the Library, since every session I go, people rush throught it (Can't blame them).

Oh, and a bonus, does anyone has pics of how Revenant's Tool changed throught the patches? Just now learned this was a thing that happened, can't wait to see how Idylshire changes.

I'll take you through the Library with some friends if you wanna stop to read the things.

Edit: anyone else can come along, too. Smile

doubleedit: Let's do an IC RPC run!


RE: I need things! - Desu Nee - 09-04-2015

An IC run would be awesome!


But we would need to meet IC first, I suppose ^^'

Naw. We'll say a third party hired us individually to recover some valuable tomes from the Library. Smile

I can tank or heal.

As of now, I can only DPS. In the future I might tank and heal too. Well, we need two more!


RE: I need things! - Arcian - 09-04-2015

If Bryn's going, I can punch things as well.


RE: I need things! - Bryn - 09-04-2015

So, just a tank or healer needed!


RE: I need things! - Martiallais - 09-04-2015

Well, Martiallais was offered a job from a certain Inquisitor, he could be heading that way to see what sort of information he could find....

AKA if you needs a tank, depending on when the run is, I could step in. Cool


RE: I need things! - Bryn - 09-04-2015

I can do it tonight. I'm in the UK though, so within the next 4 hours would be preferable. Otherwise, tomorrow is good.


RE: I need things! - Arcian - 09-04-2015

I can also do it tonight, but as Bryn said, preferably earlier on.


RE: I need things! - Desu Nee - 09-04-2015

Tomorrow might be better for me. Got plenty to do tonight, and I aim to get to heavensward end game.


RE: I need things! - Martiallais - 09-04-2015

Tomorrow sometime would work best for me as I've already got some RP plans going on tonight.

Seems like that's the winner!

For you and others who don't get the chance to read the books in the Great Gubal Library:

On Garlean Hierarchy Volume 1 Wrote:The rise of the Garlean Empire in the Year 1522 of the Sixth Astral Era led to significant changes in the structure of the Garlean society. This is most evident in the adoption of titles which serve to indicate an individual's place within the social hierarchy. The following information was compiled with the aid of informants within the empire and has yet to be verified:

Royalty
Zos - The emperor
Yae - Member of the royal family in line of succession
Wir - Member of the royal family with no claim to the throne.

Military
Van - Legatus (Commands a Legion)
Tol - Tribunus laticlavius or Tribunus militum (Commands a Cohor)
Sas - Tribunus angusticlavius or Praefectus castrorum (Commands Castrums)
Rem - Primus pilus or Pilus prior (Commands a Manipulus)
Quo - Primi ordines or Centurion (Commands a Centuriae)
Pyr - Optio, Tesserarius, or Decurion (???)
Oen - Duplicarius or Legionarius (Footsoldier?)

Specialists
Nan - Chief engineer or engineer
Mal - Primus medicus or senior magitek technician
Lux - Chief medicus or magitek technician
Kir - Senior medicus or senior technician
Jen - Medicus or technician

On Garlean Hierarchy Volume 2 Wrote:Public Officials
Iyl - Dictator or Princeps senatus
Het - Consul, Praetor, Tribunus plebis, Aedilis, or Quaestor
Goe - Censor
Fae - Unknown
Eir - Unknown
Dus - Lictor

This hierarchy extends to the general populace as well, though it is far less complex. The majority of citizens bear the "Ban" title, and there is a smaller group which appears to be comprised of respected artisans who have adopted the "Cen" title.

The "Aan" title is bestowed upon the peoples of annexed territories and indicates that they lack even the most basic rights afforded to a citizen. However, many Garleans view this as an opportunity rather than a condemnation, as citizenship may be granted to those who have demonstrated exceptional skills, as well as those who have contributed twenty or more years of military service.

Essences and Permutations Wrote:Chapter I - The Six Nativities & Myriad Creation

The spark of Lightning ignites when it strikes, and thus Fire is born.
The heat of Fire renders to ash all that it touches, and thus earth is born.
The density of Earth shuns Sun and harbors cold, and thus Ice is born.
The armor of Ice melts away, and thus water is born.
The moistness of Water mists and rises, and thus Wind is born.
The gusts and sighs of Wind gather the clouds, and thus Lightning is born.

Chapter II - The Three Conquests, Boundless and Unwavering

Earth grounds Lightning.
Water erodes Earth.
Lightning boils Water.

Chapter III - The Three Submissions, Timeless and Unending

Fire is extinguished by Wind.
Ice is melted by Fire.
Wind is obstructed by Ice.

Chapter IV - Dynamic Opposites & the Bifurcation of Polarity

The six elements are manifest in all things great and small, and their polarity deriveth from the Astral heavens above and the Umbral depths below.

Over the Horizon Wrote:Though there is some debate as to whether or not Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn and her League of Lost Bastards were the first Eorzeans to discover the western continent, there is no denying that their navigational charts were instrumental in establishing the major trade routes of today.

Moreover, the accounts from their expedition are widely regarded as both informative and entertaining. Of particular note is their first encounter with the Mamool Ja, as well as other indigenous peoples and creatures which seemed curiously intent on their demise.

These travel journals have since inspired a legion of explorers and treasure hunters to retrace the League's journey. Yet in spite of their numbers, the existence of "a bleedin' city o' gold" remains unconfirmed...

Leather-bound Diary Wrote:Beauty is ephemeral, but it needn't be. My lady Amandine knows this well, lovely creature that she is. Would that I could have the genuine article in my keeping... but alas, I shall have to settle for a pale imitation.

The vessel is not quite up to my usual standards, but beggars can't be choosers, as they say. I washed and anointed it per the instructions, then secured it to the bed with chains - wouldn't want her to get ideas above her station, oh no!

Gods, just the thought of it is enough to get my blood pumping! I can hardly wait to welcome my beloved succubus into this world!

The tentacles... so many tentacles! And the sound of it writhing on the bed! Gods, just listening to it is agony!

I've made a terrible mistake.


Enjoy!
