[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.

[As good as that news might be to some people, the warrior finds it more troubling than anything else, and it shows. He's too wrapped up in the meaning of the message the Marquis brings to give the man a proper greeting. ]

Then Garland's magic affects the other worlds just as it does this one? He truly is attempting to begin the cycle once more...

[He's very glad that he has the ability to set such things aside- though he knows that the man has been able to do that since their first meeting, when the Marquis introduced himself as simply "Halim."]

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.

My resolve has only strengthened since that time. The things Garland and Lufene have done since coming to this world are horrors that he could not achieve when I faced him before, but they show that he will stop at nothing to do what he wants.

If only the elemental crystals were found, then he might already have been defeated, but we are forced to wait until all four are brought to this world.

The crystals will light our way to Garland. Without them, we have no way of finding him, unless he were to reveal himself once again.

I believe them to be, but there are many others who are familiar with the crystals. When the first of them arrived, many others found it familiar.

So it would seem.

Two of the crystals have already been found, and are in the safekeeping of Regent Cid. There are two more which have not yet been found.

They have not yet appeared in this world, I believe. The challenge will be retrieving them when they do, I believe. The second crystal appeared upon Gaia in the hands of Lufene.

Yes. I was one of the group that traveled to retrieve it. It was how we first discovered the army of undead that she was amassing.

As for broadcasting it... I doubt that even if she managed to gain a second one, I do not feel that she would choose to conceal it to us. It seems to be her nature to gloat. It would undoubtedly be far more difficult to retrieve, however.

She may attempt it, but we know her ways, and we will not allow her to succeed.

[The warrior is frowning as well, but more because it has been long enough that they are somewhat used to her actions. She should have been defeated some time ago, in his mind.]

And the same for Garland.

We are fortunate in that he has not been joined by those who were allied with him in the battle in the Void. Our task is easier for it.
