If you missed this event last year, it's back from Tuesday 19 August at 13:00 p.m. at Thursday 28 August 2014 at 16:00 p.m. There is nothing new for those who have already participated, which is a bit of a shame but it is an opportunity for new players to finally be able to participate.
Troubles in Eorzea
Five years ago, terror reigned among the people of Eorzea as Dalamud, a prison once thought to be one of Hydaelyn's two moons, began its inexorable fall. Day after day, the star became more massive in the sky, people were agitated, and the Garlemaldais empire gained in confidence. The leaders of Eorzea then launched a last-ditch operation aimed at preventing the impending cataclysm, but nothing could prevent the rampage of Bahamut and the Scourge that changed the world forever.
You are probably wondering why I am returning to this dark chapter in our history. Well, the answer, while disturbing, is simple: Rumors have it that another scourge may befall soon. Indeed, strange events, which are not unlike those which marked the end of the 6th Astral Era, are currently occurring in the four corners of Eorzea. A figure clad in black would have even been seen in the eye of these strange storms. Although no witnesses have survived long enough to testify, rumors point to a hysterical laugh, a blood-curdling chuckle, audible for several yalms around.
People live in fear of imminent destruction, but officials speak of a simple plot of Garlemaldan origin; a diversion, if you prefer. While I disagree with their version, let's assume for a moment that they're right. Before the rampage of Bahamut, heralding the 7th Umbral Era, Eorzea experienced a large number of inexplicable phenomena including showers of flames or unexplained behavior of wildlife. Dalamud's influence was omnipresent and we have been able to trace the origin of his fall to the Garlemaldic Empire, and more precisely to a conspirator by the name of Nael van Darnus. It goes without saying that these telltale signs represent a threat that requires immediate investigation, or one simple conspiracy could once again change the face of our world.
For me, there is no doubt that terrible forces are at work. But, alas, my weapon is a feather and my shield a mere sheet of paper, and this matter is far beyond my area of expertise. This is why I need the help of all the adventurers who will read this message. Look for the origin of these supernatural disturbances so that Eorzea finds peace.
