The Last Word — Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing (01/26/2012)

Our ordinarily peaceful community has been racked by a series of abductions. Upon learning of these heinous crimes, most folk would be quick to suspect the hand of the evil Empire, and this reporter was no exception. In the course of my investigations, however, I have come to the conclusion that a doomsday cult calling itself the Lambs of Dalamud is the likeliest culprit.

Those familiar with celestial lore will know that the lesser moon Dalamud is held to be the loyal hound of the goddess Menphina. As might be inferred from their name, however, the Lambs of Dalamud have taken him as their lord and savior. Religious hardliners will doubtless cry heresy, but such trifles will keep—there are far more pressing matters at hand.

Cults have been on the rise of late. This comes as no surprise to scholars, who explain that the current climate of uncertainty renders folk vulnerable to the offer of salvation touted by entities they would otherwise spurn. Naught is new about cults—they have existed since antiquity, and are harmless for the most part. Every so often, however, one will emerge whose unsavory ambitions threaten to plunge society into disarray. And by my reckoning the Lambs of Dalamud is such a cult, capable of committing unspeakable evils in the name of their fanatical beliefs.

Now, I must confess that the case against them remains inconclusive. Nevertheless, I shall relay to you what I have learned, that you might form your own opinions on the matter. First of all, no sooner had the Lambs of Dalamud arrived to propagate their faith than the first case of abduction was reported. From refugees to war orphans, people from all walks of life began vanishing without a trace. To further implicate the cult, there is a man who claims his daughter was taken in front of his very eyes by a mob donning robes of crimson in a sick imitation of Dalamud’s bloody hue.

As if all the talk of the Seventh Umbral Era did not cast a dark enough shadow over our lives, folk now durst not leave their homes for fear of the cult; only the gods know what horrible fate awaits those taken. Are there no brave souls out there who would arise to put an end to this waking nightmare?

Our world grows ever more perilous, gone are the days when a citizen could walk through a lonely lane unmolested. Till next time, do take all care, and may the Twelve keep you.

THey have made an article on the Purple Aether event. I wonder if this means that the event is over, or if they are going to add new facets to the instance

never did that event...still not sure how to start it hahah

Most likely it will be over at the next patch and it is information for all those who could not participate/remainder to hurry up before it is gone.

I made a Guide for the Live Event.. In my Blog..

[The Lamb of Dalamud, Live Event (Guide)]

There's also an Information I made based on Observation of the Live Event Pattern... It might be wrong, but then again, It might be right!

The world will end because Gath will not allow the game to borrow any more Gath gils.
Gath knows that if Gath does this it will end everything, then change it.
Gath's 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.

This event wasn't too impressive.

It adds little bits of lore, I personally like them.
Now why would the Lambs be sacrificing people? Is it just insanity, or something more?

I hope that this event doesn't represent the rest of "Umbral Era" content. Yoshi has said that's what we're paying for, so it should be available for everyone.

i camped the npc pop spot i ul'dah for days while i lvled my leatherworking and never saw a single npc pop

I think this post marks the end of that event and possibly the beginning of another.
