Letter from the Chronicler Wrote:Dear Friend,

Should you find yourself in possession of this book, I wonder as to how you look upon it. Will you look at it with angst and anticipation of the adventures held within? Or shall you leaf through it, merely interested in a secret or treasure contained? Regardless, let it be known, that whatever you expect you must believe me. Believe me that I willingly desire the words on these pages to be the most truthful, bold, humorous and exciting one may imagine – full of tales of adventurers, merchants and tradesmen – true tales of the men, women and children whom you so readily observe today.

Know now that I write is the true story of those who reside in Eorzea. I write them as I was told, changes only made to the style merely to make the words more pleasurable. Should the reader find discrepancy between one tale and the next – merely dismiss the thought of fallacy to make way for a constant truth – we live not alone in this land and the lives of your sisters and brothers speak differently.

Whether you hail from the gold-lined prospers of Ul’dah or breathe the sweet sea air of La Noscea, it is my hope that this book carries meaning for you. If you wield the sharpened blade or tempered bow, or are one to choose so in days to come, remember this book, for I write it for you.

May your forever walk in the Light of the Crystal.

Sincerely,

A Modest Chronicler
