Said character is an Au Ra that arrived to Eorzea after the first wave of Domans, led by Lady Yugiri, arrived to Eorzea.I'm no Sounsyy at lore, so don't take my words as a definitive answer, neither have I done Summoner, I am forever faithful to BLM SUCK IT SUMFAGS. But anyway.
Obviously time has passed since my character arrived, and she managed to become a Summoner, along with attuning itself to several of Eorzea's primals so that my character could wield their powers.
However I was wondering if it was possible for An Au Ra, that clearly wasn't present in Eorzea during the Calamity, to somehow manage to attune itself to Bahamut.
I know that when you do the Summoner quest line, there are basically 2 options that would be used to allow the player character to already be washed in Bahamut's essence. Either that the player character was at the Battle of Cartenau(meaning he's a Legacy Player), or that he simply was in Eorzea somewhere when the Calamity struck, and thus he or she, like everyone else got 'washed' by Bahamut's aether. That is the explanation that allows the player character to go on the process of learning the Dreadwyrm Trance.
My concern however is, what about a character that wasn't in Eorzea when the Calamity happened? Would this means that the only way for them to attune to Bahamut's aether(or be washed in it, sorta) would be to seek out a place where Bahamut's essence might reside, like the Cartenau Flats, or even the Binding Coils themselves?
Players that have done the entire Coil storyline(as I have) will know that the 2nd option doesn't quite seem possible now.
Still...I would be curious about possible options. Anyone have thoughts on this?
The answer is sadly no. From what little I know, a Summoner can only use Egis or summon or whatever from primals they had experience with, and in the case of the Dreadwyrm and the Calamity, the amount of aether Bahamut released in the continent is far, far too greater than just a place with lingering aether. That's like comparing the radiation of an area MINUTES after the nuke with it being roughly a 50-60.
But again, I'm no Lorehead, so until Sounsyy slams her hammer and tell the truths, I'm just here giving my two cents.
