Dracyn

Ul'dah mostly, have gone to Limsa some though. They'd probably work out well for this. Was thinking it would be a mugging gone horribly wrong. Sounds good. Whisper me in game and I'll talk to Beldrem.

Well what city does your character normally work out of? Because my character and his spouse work in Limsa and while Dracyn has no issues laying the beat down on someone, Dracyn's husband, Beldrem, tends to want to redeem criminals.

Highly unlikely. Probably a joke. Unfortunately not. A FC by the name of DragonsKith bought most of the smalls in Beds and Goblet and have been selling them for 50 and 75 mil each. So yes, the Housing Mafia struck again...

To be honest...I found the entire story lackluster...I rather play the last half of 2.0 again. The part from Titan to the Castrum attacks. So intense so...nostalgic. Felt like something out of FF6 (my personal favorite FF). From 2.1 to our current patch it feels like they tried to ride the Game of Thrones train and did a bad job of it.

Mistletoe is also a plant mentioned in game and though not mentioned in game irl it was used during the middle ages to treat a number of ailments from seizures to high blood pressure. Though it was also used by ladies of the night as an abortive. I'm sure the plant is used in the same way in Eorzea as well. Btw I am in no way advocating consuming mistletoe in any shape or form. It IS poisonous and will likely do severe harm to anyone attempting to use it in a medical manner.

For my Ninja I decided to give a nod to the Ninja's two hour ability in FF11. You know...the one where they blow themselves up. Mutually Assured Destruction is a GO!

1.) Orchestrion 2.) Wind-up Leviathan 3.) Thavnarian set Good luck to everyone, grats to the winners!

Some how I always manage to find the rp partner who never logs in reliably or only logs in if I beg them to or if there's some event. Which has essentially led to not one but 5 separate plotlines across two games being abandoned/retconned because the person I depended on being there just stopped logging in. No word no warning, just one day they never logged in again. Which causes me to become depressed and generally abandon the game and character. I am honestly concerned that there might be something wrong with me, that I drive people away from rping and gaming in general.

You, your friends, your chocobo, and even pet arhiman are invited to this shindig. So feel free to spread the word so we can play sardines in a can in this nice person's mansion!

There will be SOOOO much face palming in that quest line. But it's worth it for the old school FF references.

Funny enough me being annoyed at how wrong the first paragraph is goes into why the second paragraph doesn't really mean anything for the education of the world as a whole. The major religions of the world did not 'keep the world ignorant', in fact within their ranks, be it the Catholic church, the Islamic empire, or the assorted Asian cultures that all had different degrees of spirituality, all were the vanguards of scientific progress. Understandably I can agree with you on the transportation of knowledge and lack of free time. But there's plenty of instances in European history where scientific advances were deemed heretical and those scientists were often forced (many times on promise of torture and death) to recant their theories and give up on their research. I am not condemning religion I am simply looking at historical examples. And if you compare Medieval-1700 Europe to Eorzea there seems to be far less persecution of knowledge seekers. And personally I feel that if the Umbral Eras can be stopped we'd see the Eorzean society advance faster than we saw our own. Especially since they have a genius like Cid leading the way.

I think part of the inconsistencies also lie in the religious aspect of the culture. We're trying to compare this world to our own where a major religion held sway both politically and scientifically for over a thousand years. They quite literally kept the population of the known world ignorant. I won't get into if it was deliberate or some odd side effect, but it did happen. This world however has a religion that supports education. In fact there's several deities dedicated to knowledge, experimentation, and exploration. This religion also holds little political sway in most places. So we're really dealing with a world that is only held back by the cycles of destruction that plague it.

"Thanks for the help but bit of advice for the future, might want to work a bit on your subtlety. There's more than a few who don't like Black Mages and a good bit of those who would be more than willing to give you a free trip to the void for it." *tips the hat he never has on* "Messing with void magic is nasty business, or so I hear, no matter how many good intentions you start with, so keep yourself safe, eh?" *walks off like he was never really in danger in the first place*

If you're still doing this, I'd love one of Dracyn. Please use any style you're most comfortable with. Here's a reference picture for you. His eyes are sapphire blue...I don't know why it's so hard to see eye color for midlander males.

Depends on how drunk you can get Dracyn really. Get him drunk enough and you'll have him singing out of tune sea shanties at the top of his lungs. Otherwise depending on recent events he'll either be amused at his surroundings and generally good company or demanding to be left alone.
