[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.


[ooc: Dag here, coming off of hiatus...today! Expect to more posts later today or tomorrow.]

[Relief is apparent in her tone and the sigh; while hearing his voice declaring all is well in her kingdom lifts the most weighty fear from her heart, every ounce of her being longs to know more.]

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?

[Peace reigns. It is these words which echo in her mind, over and over until she feels assured to believe them. Ondore would not tell her an untruth regarding Dalmasca, not even if he meant to ease her mind. How long has it been since she gazed upon the desert sands, how long has she wondered what has become of her people? It almost feels like a tension is unravelling in her chest, and she settles.]

Your words... comfort me more than I can express. To know we are at peace, even among sich discord... The people prove their resilience and wisdom to have chosen the peaceful path. They deserve no further bloodshed, not by their hands nor the orders of those who would act differently.

Did you make yourself known within Bhujerba?

I am proud...

[That very pride fills her now, thanks to the knowledge that Dalmasca's people are thriving despite the discord and the oddity of their newly-restored ruler having vanished. It also gives her hope that, should she, Rasler and their little son return, the people would accept that which defies logic. She nods, relief still coursing through her.]

The natives of other lands, displaced just as we are? I had not imagined that Ivalice would be enduring the very same phenomenon as Gaia herself.

[Where she felt contentment and warmth to hear such news of her beloved Dalmasca, mention of the Lucavi heats her blood in a different way entirely. She almost hisses, thinking of the evils they achieved in Gaia, what they almost did to Rasler - to think they may wreak further troubles within their own land of Ivalice is not acceptable.]

Those demons have caused suffering enough. Are we to understand they take further action in the future?

If so, then I ... I would not have this spoken of to Rasler. Not yet at least, not when memory of what passed has only recently begun to relinquish hold upon his conscience.

I know of Ramza - he came to Warjilis after I made known that a stone had come to us. He travelled with the Lady of Wutai and another... a younger girl, Ovelia. They took the stone from me under the promise to halt its efforts at possession. ... Then I was right to trust him, his Ivalice and ours being one and the same after all.

[She sighs quietly, taking in all the information being given her with as much repose as possible. She remembers Delita's recent offer, during their dance at the ball to describe his Ivalice to her, and wonders whether his accounts would compliment the Marquis'.]

I will do as you ask, uncle.

[Calling him that, it reminds her of a matter which Halim would likely see as a cause for celebration.]

... In your absence fell the first anniversary of Shain's birth. He now walks and runs freely.

[In contrast to Halim's tone, Ashe sounds a little muted. This is all significant news, after all.]

We must place our faith in the hope that what you speak is true. And within Ramza, and those who aid his cause. Even if the events of which you speak will pass within the furthest future. To he, and his compatriots, we are History. The actions we take will directly influence the present as they know it to be.

[Her tone lifts a little when speaking of her child.]

He is... a determined learner. Rasler and I have secured a gift for him; a chocobo chick, which we hope will grow alongside our son as a companion.

Perchance we may see you soon - there is to be a meeting aboard Regent Cid's flagship in mere days. Will you attend?
