CG Midlander

[NoloeTazier]

Yeah, same here and I agree... there was an awesome thread about this sometime last November where many of us expressed a suggestion to meet the "Warriors of Light" in-game. And like I said then, I'm still seriously wondering where the Elezen male is... because like everyone, I actually love seeing this party together in the CGs (and the lore regarding ARR won't be the same without us knowing what happened to him).

I still speculate that he decided one of the following paths:

• Hiked into the wilderness of destroyed Ala Migho to train in becoming a Monk (this option has now been elimiated after we saw the new promotional artwork showing a female Monk)
• Travels to Limsa and becomes a dual welding Musketeer
• Wandered off to Sharlayan to become a Samurai or Ninja (he DID have a chill, cunning air about him in the original 1.0 CG).
• He hiked it to Ishgard to train with the knights and became a become Dragoon (which is becoming more and more the likely possibility... new promo art looks like him innit? Plus, it also opens up several awesome opportunities for us to quest with "the party" in Ishgard)

Darn it... wish I could find that thread. But the general consensus was that the last option seemed most plausible...kinda fits very well with their tale, the DRG AF storyline plus it will likely explain why he was not at the final battle.

Wish we had a PM system on here... woulda liked to ask Anonymoose Or Catapalt if they had some thought on this.

I remember a response by Ferne but I don't remember the male Elezen being mentioned. Just the CG Midlander, the male Roeg, female Miqo'te, female Lalafell, and female Elezen. The only speculation we really have for him is that he knows what the Echo is and probably has it himself as he asks the Midlander "return from your reverie?" or something along those lines.

I'm not sure he could become a Dragoon, because we become a Dragoon and recover the Dragoon AF that was put there by Ser Alberic after the Eye of Nidohogg acknowledges us, but I mean I guess it's possible for this to happen to him as well after all he's essentially an Adventurer like us. Also the Dragoon art isn't an Elezen, there's no ears sticking out:

As for the other speculations...as far as we know Widargelt is the only Monk left from Ala Mhigo. Erik tells us that the Ala Mhigan King Theodoric destroyed the Fists of Rhalgr, PROBABLY influenced by Gaius van Baelsar or Garlean spies, after all we're told that Ala Mhigo fell with little resistance and bloodshed because of the Garleans inciting unrest in the populous. So they probably go hand-in-hand.

Samurai and Ninja will probably come from the "east," a.k.a. Othard so Sharlayan is probably out of the question.

Dual wielding Musketeer, lol maybe.

But now that you bring up the topic, it would be nice if we can learn where the Male Elezen is as we learn about the CG Midlander and troop.

The male elezen was reported as leaving the group we see in End of an Era / A New Beginning, though no reason was given. Perhaps he'll show back up someday.

As for Ala Mhigo's political troubles, it's hard to say. The final fall of Ala Mhigo was surely due to Legatus Baelsar's manipulations, but did he create the entire conflict or simply add fuel to an already existing fire? The destruction of the Monks and tyrannical behavior by Theodoric took place around 1552, five years before they actually took the city. Did Gaius capitalize on an already bad situation, or was the Emperor totally fine with sitting around for five years after declaring it open season on Aldenard just to fell the first city? This remains unanswered, as far as I know.
