In the Sixth Umbral Era, After Shatotto brought down the star, she actually made multiple Stardust Rods using the remnants of that very star. During the Relic Reborn quest, Gerolt goes on to say that she was prone to huge fits of boredom and making staves was one of her favorite hobbies. The Stardust Rods were her most finest pieces of work and were given only to her most loyal of followers.
Ooh fancy! Corrected my post! ^^

In that case, they don't have to justify scarcity for anything the PC does. It's still doesn't mean we roleplayers don't have to handwave the implications of having many 'protagonists' running around.
This is the way I've always looked at it: In the game there are many adventurers (notable or not) but only one PC. As far as RPing goes, I take it a step farther and say that there is only one PC and it is not us.Â
We are the anonymous extra adventurers in the background of the story. We do leves, we help people, we join grand companies, we were there on Cartaneau, but we aren't necessarily involved in the game's main storyline.
That's just the way I look at it. If that makes any sense. I'm sure others have very different takes on our role in the game, but that's just the way I look at it.
