I need things!

[Desu Nee]

Well, I should have been more descriptive on the title, but I honestly couldn't put into words. So, cutting to the chase, I would be very happy if someone could post me the Lore tidbits in the Library, since every session I go, people rush throught it (Can't blame them).

 

Oh, and a bonus, does anyone has pics of how Revenant's Tool changed throught the patches? Just now learned this was a thing that happened, can't wait to see how Idylshire changes.

[Brynhilde]

I'll take you through the Library with some friends if you wanna stop to read the things.

 

Edit: anyone else can come along, too.

 

doubleedit: Let's do an IC RPC run!

[Desu Nee]

An IC run would be awesome!

 

 

But we would need to meet IC first, I suppose ^^'

[Brynhilde]

An IC run would be awesome!

Naw. We'll say a third party hired us individually to recover some valuable tomes from the Library.

 

I can tank or heal.

As of now, I can only DPS. In the future I might tank and heal too. Well, we need two more!

[Arcian]

If Bryn's going, I can punch things as well.

[Brynhilde]

So, just a tank or healer needed!

[Martiallais]

Well, Martiallais was offered a job from a certain Inquisitor, he could be heading that way to see what sort of information he could find....

 

AKA if you needs a tank, depending on when the run is, I could step in. 8-)

[Brynhilde]

I can do it tonight. I'm in the UK though, so within the next 4 hours would be preferable. Otherwise, tomorrow is good.

[Arcian]

I can also do it tonight, but as Bryn said, preferably earlier on.

[Desu Nee]

Tomorrow might be better for me. Got plenty to do tonight, and I aim to get to heavensward end game.

[Martiallais]

Tomorrow sometime would work best for me as I've already got some RP plans going on tonight.

 

Seems like that's the winner!

For you and others who don't get the chance to read the books in the Great Gubal Library:

 

The rise of the Garlean Empire in the Year 1522 of the Sixth Astral Era led to significant changes in the structure of the Garlean society. This is most evident in the adoption of titles which serve to indicate an individual's place within the social hierarchy. The following information was compiled with the aid of informants within the empire and has yet to be verified:

 

Royalty

Zos - The emperor

Yae - Member of the royal family in line of succession

Wir - Member of the royal family with no claim to the throne.

 

Military

Van - Legatus (Commands a Legion)

Tol - Tribunus laticlavius or Tribunus militum (Commands a Cohor)

Sas - Tribunus angusticlavius or Praefectus castrorum (Commands Castrums)

Rem - Primus pilus or Pilus prior (Commands a Manipulus)

Quo - Primi ordines or Centurion (Commands a Centuriae)

Pyr - Optio, Tesserarius, or Decurion (???)

Oen - Duplicarius or Legionarius (Footsoldier?)

 

Specialists

Nan - Chief engineer or engineer

Mal - Primus medicus or senior magitek technician

Lux - Chief medicus or magitek technician

Kir - Senior medicus or senior technician

Jen - Medicus or technician

 

Public Officials

Iyl - Dictator or Princeps senatus

Het - Consul, Praetor, Tribunus plebis, Aedilis, or Quaestor

Goe - Censor

Fae - Unknown

Eir - Unknown

Dus - Lictor

 

This hierarchy extends to the general populace as well, though it is far less complex. The majority of citizens bear the "Ban" title, and there is a smaller group which appears to be comprised of respected artisans who have adopted the "Cen" title.

 

The "Aan" title is bestowed upon the peoples of annexed territories and indicates that they lack even the most basic rights afforded to a citizen. However, many Garleans view this as an opportunity rather than a condemnation, as citizenship may be granted to those who have demonstrated exceptional skills, as well as those who have contributed twenty or more years of military service.

 

Chapter I - The Six Nativities & Myriad Creation

 

The spark of Lightning ignites when it strikes, and thus Fire is born.

The heat of Fire renders to ash all that it touches, and thus earth is born.

The density of Earth shuns Sun and harbors cold, and thus Ice is born.

The armor of Ice melts away, and thus water is born.

The moistness of Water mists and rises, and thus Wind is born.

The gusts and sighs of Wind gather the clouds, and thus Lightning is born.

 

Chapter II - The Three Conquests, Boundless and Unwavering

 

Earth grounds Lightning.

Water erodes Earth.

Lightning boils Water.

 

Chapter III - The Three Submissions, Timeless and Unending

 

Fire is extinguished by Wind.

Ice is melted by Fire.

Wind is obstructed by Ice.

 

Chapter IV - Dynamic Opposites & the Bifurcation of Polarity

 

The six elements are manifest in all things great and small, and their polarity deriveth from the Astral heavens above and the Umbral depths below.

 

Though there is some debate as to whether or not Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn and her League of Lost Bastards were the first Eorzeans to discover the western continent, there is no denying that their navigational charts were instrumental in establishing the major trade routes of today.

 

Moreover, the accounts from their expedition are widely regarded as both informative and entertaining. Of particular note is their first encounter with the Mamool Ja, as well as other indigenous peoples and creatures which seemed curiously intent on their demise.

 

These travel journals have since inspired a legion of explorers and treasure hunters to retrace the League's journey. Yet in spite of their numbers, the existence of "a bleedin' city o' gold" remains unconfirmed...

 

Beauty is ephemeral, but it needn't be. My lady Amandine knows this well, lovely creature that she is. Would that I could have the genuine article in my keeping... but alas, I shall have to settle for a pale imitation.

 

The vessel is not quite up to my usual standards, but beggars can't be choosers, as they say. I washed and anointed it per the instructions, then secured it to the bed with chains - wouldn't want her to get ideas above her station, oh no!

 

Gods, just the thought of it is enough to get my blood pumping! I can hardly wait to welcome my beloved succubus into this world!

 

The tentacles... so many tentacles! And the sound of it writhing on the bed! Gods, just listening to it is agony!

 

I've made a terrible mistake.

 

 

Enjoy!

[Desu Nee]

Surprise, surprise, I can't do the IC Dungeon today.

 

Surprise family trip. You guys can do it, or we can wait till Monday I suppose.

[Artigan]
