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.

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.

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.

Date: 2011-01-12 04:33 am (UTC)Yes, indeed I do. In fact, I believe that many people are being jostled about through time and space because of Garland's fiendish magick. While I resided in Ivalice, I met people hailing from not just Alfritaria, but from other realms such as Trabia Garden and Cocoon.
If these wayfarers exist within my realm, then I'm certain Ivalicans now reside within there's. Think of it as equivalent exchange, Miss Heartily. For every man, woman or child that vanishes from their native realms, others are pulled through the fabric of time in order to replace them.
This notion is the same for kingdoms and countries as well.

Date: 2011-01-12 02:45 pm (UTC)It's like Time Compression, but really mixed up. This whole thing... It's so much bigger than any of us first thought.

Date: 2011-01-12 05:22 pm (UTC)If this travesty continues to take root within foreign worlds and realms alike, we may see the destruction of not only Gaia but the universe as well.

Date: 2011-01-12 10:14 pm (UTC)You really think it's that bad?

Date: 2011-01-13 02:27 am (UTC)Given all the chaos Gaia has faced thus far--yes, I do.

Date: 2011-01-13 05:22 pm (UTC)Do not give into despair, Miss Heartily. I can assure that the end of this conflict draws ever nearer in our favor. The power that Garland wields may seem absolute, but absolution cannot be forged by the hands of the guilty or impure.
This what he has forgotten.

Yeah.
