Relationships of the Twelve

To really drive that point home, consider the fact that one of the reasons the Meteor project stupefied the minds of Eorzeans (aside from Cid) was that they believed that Dalamud had always been there as it was related to the Moon, which they believed to be a manifestation of Menphina, "Keeper of the twin moons."

ha! right, so then we could say the connection of Menphina and twin moons is only as old as Dalamund. Maybe Menphina herself is only that old (her story that is..in the game...not in RL...ugh). Doesn't that one Tome say its a compilation of texts? Which would mean they werent all from the same time.

(an aside note: Yaeko Sato said, when asked which came first the story or the world, she said that world was already built and she wrote the story around it. Doesn't explain anything but helps us see the context the writer was in. Fits my "arbitrarily connecting the dots" scenario from above)

Damn, that is a REALLY good point. I always dismissed the idea that they were elevated Allaghans but I may have to give that idea another look. I never knew Fernehalwes posted that, could I get a link perchance to the thread he posted that in? I want to read it in context with everything else that was said.

This one wasn't Ferne, it was in-game text from an NPC.

Great Admiral's ghost! The changes exhibited by Dalamud are the Empire's doing!? But how is it possible that an object so enormous and distant─that has existed since the dawn of time─can be at mankind's beck and call? By the Twelve...I find I am inclined to believe it. Gods only know what else the vile Garleans are capable of.
