Today’s 1.0 lookback - yes, I needed a less clunky name for these:
-The adventurer is sent to Hyrstmill to address a disturbance there, only to find Garuda has engulfed the entire hamlet with her churning winds. She hovers and rants, blaming the puny mortals for the misuse of “her” crystals to summon another. This is the second time a Primal has expressed concern with something else being summoned.
-Some of this dialogue should seem familiar. Some of these lines got re-used both in the 1.0 and ARR fights.
-Eventually, the Primal disappears, but a single wind-aspected feather is left behind to be caught by the adventurer. One of the fallen soldiers/adventurers pleads for them to save Gridania and the seedseers, and to stop Garuda.
-Next stop: Coerthas, where the red aether node leading to Garuda waits in a cave near Natalan. -Hyrstmill was one of the hamlet areas used in the Hamlet Defense instances. I will post separately about these instances another time.
