Post-6.1-Raid Omphalos

If you return there after all the quests for Patch 6.1 Raid are done, you find Snoegeim there and she says

Here is what I found

By the levin structure (purple jewel) you find Byregot and Rhalgr in the Spriggan and Hawk forms they used in Rhalgr's Reach

By the water structure (darker blue) jewel you find an Owlet and an Assassin Fry

By the Earth structure (orange jewel) is a Golem

By the ice structure (lighter blue jewel) is a Dwarf Rabbit

There are also two instances of the Butterfly Effect minion by the ice structure but I don't know if this is the literal BE minion or just a butterfly effect. Should be stated that I can't seem to find butterflies anywhere else in Omphalos

Neither the wind structure (green jewel) or fire structure (red jewel) have critters nearby

I feel like the Bunny would be Menphina but the butterflies are tripping me up

Owlet and Assassin Fry are almost certainly Thaliak and Nymeia. Golem I think is Althyk.

Going on record with the Baby Opo Opo or Deryk is Oschon.

Which means we are missing Azeyma, Nald'thal, Nophica, Nymeia, Llymlaen and possibly Halone.

so, the first alliance raid is titled aglaia. aglaia was a greek goddess, who was married to none other than hephaestus, god of the forge. the same hephaestus who fathered erichthonius. yeah, the first boss of pandaemonium. or, in short, the 6.1 alliance raid is named for lahabrea’s (ex? wife? although pandy!athena is supposedly deceased so it’s not impossible that bananabread found a new love that wasn’t overworking or chewing the scenery) mythological partner, and is the ‘epilogue’ to the hydie-n-zodie saga.

in conclusion, it was always ascians. all the fucking way down.

Probable Patch 6.1 Outfit

Nerys doesn't expect to ever be "just another adventurer" again, not really. But it will be nice to concentrate on jobs that are not quite so life and death.

It is the first time she has been alone on the road save for her faithful chocobo Minako. And suspects she will very shortly call upon her loves as they tend to business across the world--Thancred and Urianger in Sharlayan, Y'shtola in Dravania, Haurchefant and Hades in Garlemald.

These garments are important to her because most of them she acquired during her year in Ishgard leading up to the end of the Dragonsong War.

The spear is one of many she keeps in her arsenal and quite favors it. It was the spear she wielded facing Nidhogg on the Steps of Faith and it was permanently altered by his aether.

She often wears the bracelet and rings of House Fortemps. The earrings are newer, a gift from Hades in the style of Amaurot.

(A certain new old friend has remarked upon them with a knowing smile.)
