[]The Last Word -- Goodbye, and Good Luck (11/01/2012)

Kipih Jakkya here, bright-eyed and sharp-eared, filing her latest report on the numerous threats to Eorzea and how we may find deliverance from destruction.

Before I begin, I must announce, with great regret, that this will be my final report—the last of last words. As the specter of war and chaos spreads throughout the land, I find it harder to guarantee my safety and—more importantly—that of my little brother. I intend to take him far away, to wherever we may yet find refuge.

The great cities themselves may soon be in danger. The monstrously mawed Atomos continues to wreak havoc upon Aetheryte Camps, most recently in Coerthas and Mor Dhona. To further compound matters, the voidsent summoned by the floating beast have been spotted wandering far from any Aetheryte, fueling fears that nowhere in Eorzea is safe.

Our conflict with the Empire is approaching a terrible climax as well. Widespread rumors tell of a great allied force, bolstered by many brave adventurers, marching to confront the Garlean menace at the Carteneau Flats. However, it is also whispered that the VIIth Legion has fortified its encampments and now lies ready to repel any attack. How events shall ultimately unfold is anything but clear. For now, we can only offer prayers for our fighting men and women.

In truth, our prayers may possess more power than we realize. The sudden appearance of the Twelve’s divine symbols has caused a tremendous stir in recent days. Sharlayan scholars are now asserting that if enough Eorzeans were to entreat the gods at these sites, our combined religious devotion may well move them to act. If these claims are true, then perhaps there is still hope.

As a reporter, I have been blessed with the opportunity to meet countless amazing adventurers, and every moment spent afield and writing these missives has been a joy. Though I know not when it will come, I look forward to the day when I return to serve my dear readers once more. Until then, I shall keep my quill safe and sharp.

Farewell, and may the Twelve watch over you and keep you safe.

Kipih Jakkya

I was surprised to see no one had pasted this yet. I suppose it got lost behind the Letter From the Producer.

This actually made me tear up a little. It has a subtle finality that many of the other elements of the live event have lacked. Really great lore piece; thank you very much.

Ah so he did, I scanned all of the posts that were made since I logged off last night, must have assumed this one was of no consequence since it didn't use the standard title form. Speaking of standard title forms.... I just figured out how to edit a thread title.... Pretty obscure SE, pretty obscure.

Yep, my apologies, though in truth, the content of this thread is ever so slightly different than the content of that thread. <.< >.> I claim vindication!

Hope that reporter dies.
I can't stand his wordy letters.

Meat and bones please. He'd have been fired from any newspaper long time ago.
