mooglenet_backup[After being jostled about from one realm to another, Ondore is certainly grateful to be returned to Gaia. While the irony of it all certainly didn’t go unnoticed, the Marquis decides to prepare a detailed message for friends and acquaintances alike hailing from his realm of Ivalice.
He does not filter this message from Gaian eyes, nor does he filter his words from the eyes of commoners. In Ondore’s belief, there’s no need to filter the truth from those willing to see it.
Besides, this may prove to be rather education for all.]
How peculiar and how odd such a journey has been since my arrival to Gaia. Whisked away from land and home, many of us found ourselves abandoned within a realm not our own. Exiled by fate and sorcery, many of us began on a madding quest to become accustom the cultures we’ve experienced here.
Some of us chose to mimic the Gaians through observation alone, while others divulged deeper within literature in order to understand them. While both endeavors are noble enough, I do believe many of us have forgotten how little culture plays in human behavior. Their anger is warranted, just like their fear. The phenomenon I have witnessed beyond Gaia’s soil certainly proves this true.
Ivalice is Ivalice no more, but rather a realm mismatched by Garland’s magick. Banora trees now line the abandoned ruins of Ridorana, and Mount Bur-Omisace now thrives beside an active volcano that threatens to melt its icy slopes. Such a phenomenon isn’t limited to merely the changing of the soil, but the changing of the people as well.
Lilites now walk Archadian streets much to the Empire’s displeasure, and Yukes now flock to Bhujerba to exchange knowledge with all those hailing from Dorstonis. Dalmasca has changed very little in comparison of other realms, but now tribes of Shelkies roam the desert landscape alongside with rogue Seeqs and Bangaas in search of treasure. What this treasure could be one can only imagine, but such a unity amongst the newcomers and the patrons of Ivalice is quite humbling.
Such a time has prompted Ivalice to change rapidly through discussion. The temperament there is as heated as ever, but I can proudly state that the threat of war no longer looms over Ivalice’s shadow.
Diplomacy is what guides the land of my birth, and diplomacy is what shall guide Gaia through this time of crisis.

welcome back! :33
Date: 2011-01-11 06:39 pm (UTC)[Ashe breaks off, because what she's hearing has her transfixed. Dalmasca. He'd returned home, he had actually seen her beloved country with his own eyes? The prospect has her bursting with questions, with the overpowering need for more information.]
Dalmasca - you saw her?
thank you~! <3
Date: 2011-01-11 06:50 pm (UTC)[Thank goodness! He was worried that his niece vanished from Gaia during his abrupt return to Ivalice.]
Indeed, I have. Your Dalmasca is doing rather well.
<3
Date: 2011-01-11 06:59 pm (UTC)What is made of my absence? Please, uncle - I would hear all you can tell me of her, of my -- mine and Rasler's people. You say the threat of war no longer exists?

Date: 2011-01-11 07:00 pm (UTC)This explains the Tale of Two Empires, the Archadians and the Lilties. Old Archades has vanished, now replaced by a sprawling empire that nibbles upon the roots of fair Archades.

[Hana Kohl] Where is it at? We'll give you a cut if we find it.

[video]
Date: 2011-01-12 01:04 am (UTC)Unfortunately, I have not. The Viera are scarcely seen in Ivalice, but many of them flock to Balfonheim Port. I only seen a handful of Mjrn's kind during my brief stay in Dalmasca, and none were her.
[video]
Date: 2011-01-12 01:23 am (UTC)Okay. It was a long shot anyway...
Do you think that people are getting transported to all kinds of different worlds? Not just here or Ivalice. It sounds like people might be turning up everywhere.

I trust all is well.

Is everything well? I must say, I haven't heard from you in some time.

Date: 2011-01-13 01:11 am (UTC)I'm sorry, I've been working at the forge so much - Wade says I'm almost done with my apprenticeship, but it doesn't really feel like it. I keep thinking there's something else I'm not seeing somehow.

Date: 2011-01-12 01:51 pm (UTC)Then Garland's magic affects the other worlds just as it does this one? He truly is attempting to begin the cycle once more...
[Video]
Date: 2011-01-12 05:34 pm (UTC)Garland's magick seems to stretch across the universe itself for other wayfarers caught within the chaos claim the same truth. The sorcerer is plotting the salvation of his world through our deaths.
[Video]
Date: 2011-01-12 10:24 pm (UTC)Through our deaths, and the destruction of our own worlds. Even when he does not serve Chaos, he causes discord to spread. More than ever, he must be stopped.

Date: 2011-01-12 05:38 pm (UTC)One would speculate that it was the magicks within the Iifa Tree that lured me away from Gaia, however, in all truth---I don't know.
People come and go within this realm, just as you.
