Summoner Lore
Y'mhitra Wrote:Let us review the history and role of the summoner, that we might never forget the tragedy that befell the unfortunate Tristan.

A summoner is a unique type of mage who harnesses the energy of the primals and reshapes it into a biddable avatar. In the ancient Allagan tongue, these avatars are known as "egi." Only those who are present at the defeat of a primal and have captured its savage essence are able to manifest such aetheric entities. Now, any explanation of the summoner is not complete without a brief history of its origin.

The Allagan Empire reached its peak during the Third Astral Era. Dissatisfied with dominion over Eorzea alone, this thriving civilization sought to expand its borders to ever more distant lands. Eventually, the empire cast its avaricious gaze upon the southern continent of Meracydia. The peoples of these nations did not, however, take kindly to being invaded, and they summoned the primals to repel the Allagan forces. Hard-pressed by these incarnations of elemental wrath, the leaders of the empire's military were forced to alter their tactics. They ordered the mages under their command to devise some manner of magic with which to counter the primals, and, after much experimentation, the art of summoning was born.

The magic invented by these arcane pioneers met with great success, and, within the Allagan Empire, the title of "summoner" earned the bearer an uncommon measure of awe and respect.


As for horse breeding, I don't see why you couldn't. Perhaps your character was a former/current Chocobo breeder who is assisting the Grand Companies with breeding an Eorzean Horse, since the military seems to have some amount of favor towards them.

Warsteed Wrote:After witnessing dazzling demonstrations of how a warsteed might turn the tide of battle, the Grand Companies of Eorzea emptied their coffers at the feet of the Far Eastern uma bugyo, each seeking to put themselves at an advantage during Frontline campaigns.

Why pay Far Easterners when Eorzean breeders may successfully be able to breed their own now? Could be a fun thing to play with. Or, as others suggested, be a Chocobo Breeder/Trainer! For a long time, chocobo breeding was limited to only the most prestigious of Ishgardian stock, however, since the Calamity, chocobo ranches have begun sprouting up in Gridania as well.

Keitha Wrote:Yes, what with the fine flock we've been raisin', people have finally come to accept and appreciate Gridania-bred birds.



Hope this helps! ^^
