Kage Posted August 22, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2015 Before I start making up more book titles like i am doing for some trashy romance novels... Any titles in the game specific to these subjects? 1. Aether control, theory and exercises. Anything and everything on the subject. Nothing advanced, please. 2. Staves and other mediums, preferably a study on attunements. 3. Fire Relate these subjects to Thaumaturgy as well? Link to comment
Sounsyy Posted August 22, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 22, 2015 No exact titles for books matching those descriptions. Sorry! The closest thing would be Essences and Permutations - A Treatise of the Six Elements, which was originally found in 1.0's CNJ Guild library, back when Conjurers controlled all six elements. It was again referenced in the 2.0 quest The Greatest Story Never Told, and now rests in 3.0's Gubal Library. Below I've spoilered other canon Eorzean literature: Just for your reference, here is a list of some of the publications that have appeared either in-game or on the official (1.0) website. --- Original Publication: The Determination of Being Author: Guillaurmand de Padellaint Quote: Every soul must needs have a code, a purpose, to guide them. Else chaos would consume us all. --- Original Publication: Leading the Van Author: Owyne Cosserand, master tactician Quote: The advancement of a nation may be guaged by its ability to craft weapons, but its future depends on its ability to craft wars. --- Original Publication: Travel Logs of a Lalafell Author: Jajariku Nanariku Quote: Never did we expect to encounter such a diverse and so wealthy a people! And so very tall! --- Original Publication: Treatise on the Principles of Self-Actualization Author: Rhylsygg Bhirlonsyn Quote: To discern the true nature of man, one need look no further than the palm of his hand. --- Original Publication: Raimdelle Codex Author: Frandelont Raimdelle Quote: Know thy quarry, know thyself.

Chapters Discovered (as of 1.x): Lords of Skyey Realms Elemental Thralldom Lightsome Verdure The Abased The Boughs Above Inferno The Light's Corrivals Amongst Leaves Most Green Levinshower All Things Must Die Ranine Reveries Torn Asunder Adamantine Wills In Shadow Bemantled Celeritous Impetus Thousandfold Agony The Fallen Rockbound Mists The Ever-reaching Claw The Moons' Mistress --- Publication: The Enchiridion The holiest of Ishgardian scripture, this tome outlines the teachings of Halone. --- Publication: The Five Ages─An Eorzean Chronology Author: Lewphon of Sharlayan, master theologian and astrologist Penned in the Year 233 of the Sixth Astral Era to weave together the disparate histories of the nations of Eorzea with a common thread─the thread of time. --- Publication: Essences & Permutations─A Treatise of the Six Elements Author: Unknown Comprised of four chapters dealing with the elements and creation.

Over the Horizon -Unknown Author A tome further discussing Merlwyb's journey to the New World and Limsa Lominsa's establishment of trade routes to the continent. Is there a mythology about the Twelve that isn’t mentioned in-game? (ex. Holy books, manuscripts, rituals, etc.) Answer: Yes, a great deal of mythology exists. Unfortunately, a lot remains unreleased. The storyline in 2.0 should reveal much more about the Twelve, but until then, I leave you with this Fun Fact: perhaps you have noticed, but in several of the dungeons in La Noscea you will find locations on your maps with names like "Llymlaen's Folly" or "Llymlaen's Trial." These are, in fact, sacred sites for the followers of the Navigator--each representing one of the 12 chapters in the tale of Llymlaen's Ascent. As part of their worship, followers risk their lives to perform yearly pilgrimages, visiting all twelve sites in the order they appear in the tale. The chapters (in order) are as follows: Llymlaen's Folly Llymlaen's Flight Llymlaen's Tempest Llymlaen's Clarity Llymlaen's Resolve Llymlaen's Bearing Llymlaen's Trial Llymlaen's Encounter Llymlaen's Stand Llymlaen's Triumph Llymlaen's Oath Llymlaen's Ascent Encyclopedia Eorzea Impress your friends with these beautiful leather-bound replicas of naturalist Marcette Manne's comprehensive collection of knowledge.

My name is Marcette, and I am a naturalist under the employ of [i']Eorzean Geographic[/i], a publication which surveys the realm's wildlife. Hope that helps! Lemme know if you'd like quotes from some of the publications listed above, I've got O'er Westward Seas, Over the Horizon, On Garlean Hierarchy, and Leather-bound Journal text in my screenshots. 1 Link to comment
Arthur Posted August 22, 2015 Share #3 Posted August 22, 2015 Original Publication: On the Properties of Aspect Conversion Author: Professor Lamberteint Quote: A four-volume compilation of Professor Lamberteint's theories on the process of manually altering an object's elemental aspect. and there's a handful of relevant titles referred to in one of the Postmoogle quests. they all pertain to thaumaturgy, though there's no flavor text or anything to accompany them, unfortunately. their titles are: The Cry from the Depths, Thaumaturgy: The Yawning Abyss, The Lesser Key of Thal, and The Troth of Kings. 1 Link to comment
Kage Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted August 22, 2015 Thank you both! Is the Professor the one you use in the main story quests/moogle quests? The one with the four students in Camp Drybone? Link to comment
Arthur Posted August 22, 2015 Share #5 Posted August 22, 2015 Thank you both! Is the Professor the one you use in the main story quests/moogle quests? The one with the four students in Camp Drybone? yes, the Professor does show up in the MSQ + postmoogle quests! he's the one who sends you on the wild goose chase to gather corrupted crystals to power the Enterprise's aether converter so you can enter the Howling Eye and confront Garuda. in the postmoogle quests, he and his students have a misunderstanding at the bar in Camp Drybone. (I believe there are only three students, however - one in Old Gridania, another in Aleport and the last is near Highbridge.) Link to comment
