Final Fantasy 14: Beginnings & Endings

The Rising Stones, Revenant's Toll, Mor Dhona

Amid the aether-shattered remnants of Mor Dhona, in the bustling town of Revenant's Toll, The Rising Stones served as the headquarters for the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, or what was left of them anyway. Stricken by a strange sleeping illness that felled all its senior members, only the Warrior of Light remained standing.

Within the somber halls of the Rising Stones, the members of the free company The Bringers of Light gathered. Led by the miqo'te Silverfox siblings, Vitya the White Mage and Va'lia the Astrologian, the free company counted some of the finest heroes in Eorzea.

"So it seems we need to find something at the base of the Crystal Tower," Vitya said as he sipped from a wine glass. "Smells like a trap though. This... entity... did manage to fell most of our fellow Scions after all."

Diana Taurasi, their resident headstrong Hyur Warrior, smirked. "I don't know why we're even discussing this. If it's a trap, we'll spring it and smash our way out!"

An elegant looking Elezen Red Mage looked over in annoyance at the warrior. "Unlike you, some of us would like to come out of this alive and awake." Violet Evergaden was ever the pragmatic one.

A red-haired Hyur wearing dark clothing and carrying a massive bow shook her head. Her voice was pleasant and musical. "I'm sure Tataru is doing her best to scout the area for us with the help of The Sons of Saint Coinach." Meggan Blazewind the Hyur Bard shrugged.

Va'lia snorted delicately. "Those scholars and researchers from Sharlayan? What do they know? They've been at those Allagan ruins for years and they haven't uncovered anything we couldn't have found ourselves."

Araveug the Hyur Samurai shook his head. "We mustn't judge them. The Allagans are notorious for concealing their technology behind walls impossible to breach by normal means."


On the other side of the room, Uknoy Oicmus the miqo'te Paladin shrugged. "There are other matters that need to be addressed. This can wait. Any news from the war front? I know the Eorzean Alliance managed to push the Garleans back with our help against Zenos but I'm pretty sure the Garleans aren't just gonna sit on their asses."

The bard nodded. "Indeed they have not. They continue to pound the Eorzean Alliance positions with their magitek cannons and artillery. So far, no news on the Black Rose which I guess is good news."

Diana grinned at the news. "Let's go kick some Garlean ass! I'm pretty sure we could overrun a few Garlean artillery emplacements and steal some of their ceruleum reserves."

Vitya hesitated slightly before nodding. "It's better than sitting here doing nothing all day. Let's go."
