My shop is currently working on custom Warrior of Light plushes! We finished our first one! Mine! There are some slight adjustments that are needed going forward but we’re very happy things like the detail/outfit. She stands at 11 ½ inches and is made out of minky fabric. More updates to come!

Native to a remote territory systematically subjected by the Empire, Rhitahtyn sas Arvina entered the army for a sole purpose -- to earn his citizenship. Assigned to the XIVth Imperial Legion, the Roegadyn swiftly attained the rank of officer and was awarded the position of pilus prior by Gaius van Baelsar, who recognized his exceptional martial prowess. Rhitahtyn proved himself a brilliant field tactician through a series of victories, demonstrating his worth in the legatus’s eyes. In time, he rose to the highest rank a non-Garlean can hold: praefectus castrorum, and during the invasion of Eorzea, was oft entrusted with missions of the greatest import.

Rhitahtyn remains a formidable fighter despite his forty-nine winters, and can move with surprising speed under the considerable weight of Tartarus, his massive gunshield.

 “It was discovered at the same dig site whence Tristan seized the soul crystal, and the Saint Coinach’s Find researchers, grateful for your actions in bringing the murderous summoner to justice, insisted that you complete your set. One can never be over-prepared when heading into battle against a Paragon. Wear it proudly, Kasasagi, for you are a summoner right and true."

“You made a deal with the Paragons? And you call us fools! The Ascians will never relinquish their hold on you!”

“Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. As I am sure you are aware, the realm was saved from certain doom five years ago by heroes known as the Warriors of Light. What you may not be aware of is that your many feats in service to the Scions have prompted folk to make certain… comparisons.”

“Thancred’s plight troubles us all, yet we cannot allow anything to come between us and our goal. So long as Ultima Weapon exists, Eorzea will never know peace. Let us go to the Alliance leaders, Kasasagi, and help them to make the right decision.”

“From another patrol are you…” He reads the sloppy script. “Insurgents gathering to the east? Judging by these coordinates they are well beyond the perimeter… but I will not have it said that I was remiss. You, return to the scene and keep an eye on those insurgents. Should aught go awry, use your smoke signal to call us.”

The gist of my plan is unchanged: we disguise ourselves as imperial soldiers and infiltrate the stronghold. Glaumunt is looking into ways to procure a suit of magitek armor. In the meantime, I need your assistance for some preparation of my own. Minfilia and the others are counting on us, Kasasagi. Let’s not keep them waiting any longer than necessary.

“In our hearts, we knew you were still alive… But to finally see you in the flesh…”

Pilgrims of the Ishgardian faith often stop here to pray to the sacred stone suspended within the Fury’s Gaze -- a holy place guarded by the Temple Knights stationed within the tower.

[songlessmagpie]

“After five long years… Thank goodness he’s alive. Oh, I’m feeling better now, Kasasagi. Let’s go to that Tower and wait for the chief to arrive!”

Brave gatherer of the Crystals, they soul burneth bright. I am Hydaelyn. All made one. Hearken unto me now, for the Darkness doth begin to spread. Ware thee the bearer of the Crimson Brand, for he is the Avatar of Shadow, whom death attendeth always. The Crystals shall be thy salvation--thy blade and shield both. Steel thyself, for at the appointed hour… Thou shalt stare into the Heart of Darkness. Go with caution, my child, but fear not- for I am ever with thee.

Suspended high above the foothills of Mt. O’Ghomoro is the Floating City of Nym -- centered hub of a lost civilization which prospered on Vylbrand during the Fifth Astral Era. The accepted theory as to how the city was torn from the realm involves the over-aspecting of corrupted wind crystals combined with the de-aspecting of earth crystals -- a phenomenon witnessed late in the Sixth Astral Era

Alongside the shores of Silvertear Lake, Mor Dhona lies very close to the center of Aldenard. As a key land route blessed with breathtaking scenery, the area once featured a lively collection of inns. During the Battle of Silvertear Skies, however, an extreme aetherical surge swept through the landscape transforming much of it into pure crystal. Though the cause remains a topic of discussion amongst scholars, the phenomenon was undisputedly destructive, and now the place is a wasteland shrouded in mephitic mists.

“Hear you this blasphemy, my children? These landwalkers would bring me low! You who are bound to crawl upon the earth should revere me— FOR I AM THE WIND!”

[songlessmagpie]

“Kasasagi, I want to thank you. For reuniting me with my ship, for trusting in me to develop this plan… for everything. You’ve helped me to rediscover a part of myself I’d forgotten. I am not the man I once was, and I do not know if I ever shall be… but I do know one thing: this feels right.”

This skyscraping ivory cathedral was built following the Age of Endless Frost--a dark period in which the realm was overrun with famine and disease--to serve as a place of refuge and respite for all who sought succor. Soon after, however, it fell into ruin and was all but forgotten-until the advent of the Seventh Umbral Era saw need for its use once again.
