Mistake on Twin Adder Poster?

..How do we change guardian deity? XD

Really awesome response by the LOC team in this thread (post #30) - just want to bump it so people that follow the dev. tracker can see it. Really cool stuff! :)

Thanks for the info community team. Nophica is banging, and I'm not even a lesbo, so glad the Goddess of my nation state is hot, I mean who wants like an ugly hunchback god and crap?

We really need a lore section on the main site that's easy to see like Eve Chronicles are..
And with lots of short story's or Vids in it ..
Texts about the Different ages, leaders, nations and mobs

Bravo to the team that came up with this lore, and the artists who have helped bring Eorzea to life. I'm growing more fond of it all the time. Soon it will rival Vana'diel!

Speaking of Ferne, he's dropped some hints that THE LODESTONE may, in fact, soon contain a history of Lore-Related posts and releases!

Plans to expand the the Lodestone to include more lore-related articles are already underway, and your suggestions regarding in-game lore libraries have been relayed to the team. ...

I've also been known (once in a blue moon) to post juicy tidbits of Eorzean lore, which was why I was called upon to address the issue of the Gridanian Grand Company poster released earlier this month.

There has been much speculation that the...er...well-endowed woman depicted could be the Elder Seedseer, Kan-E-Senna. However, as has been pointed out by many an astute fan, the woman in the poster lacks the telltale horns seen on Padjals. So, who then, could this goddess-like figure be?

Well it turns out that it actually is a goddess--the guardian deity of Gridania, in fact.

(From the Character Creation screen)

"Nophica, tender of soils and harvests and goddess of abundance, is the guardian deity of Gridania. She commands the element of earth and is associated with the eleventh moon of the Eorzean calendar. Nophica is the daughter of Azeyma, and the younger sister of Llymlaen. She is most often depicted as a jubilant farmer holding a scythe of steel. Her symbol is the spring leaf."

(From residents of Eorzea)

"The Twelveswood is a vast forest set aside just for the elementals by the Matron, Nophica. It was here long before we came, and will remain long after we are gone."

"Just as Nophica's bounty helps Her children to grow, so too does the blessing of experience help young men and women grow into noble servants of the land."

"Do you not know that hymn of Nophica? It's an old favorite among farmers and harvesters.
Sun's sweet smile and wind's cool breath♪
Both of these I send thee♪
To ripe thy fruit and spread thy seed♪
And nourish those that tend thee.♪"

In short, Nophica is a mother-figure associated with bountiful harvests, fertility, and nature...hence the tendency for artists to incorporate these themes into her appearance and...er, physique.

I hope that clears everything up!
See you all again in the Localization forums!

Yes, this bothers me.

This is was a great post! :D

I wonder now, are there any other lore characters or npcs featured on the other posters? Even if it happens to be a guy who is most often seen sitting on the edge of a dock, it would be a pretty neat easter egg type thing!
