    Thank you for clearing some of that up! I appreciate it. :D

    As for the "eternal youth" point, I figured it was something like how you all described, but for some reason the word "immortal" popped into my head once and I thought there was something weird about it when we learned more about A-Towa.

    ...Speaking of the "ancient Padjali tongue", would you guys happen to know if there's a compilation of the language that's available as a sort of reference aside from the blurb Ferne gave us a little while back? Or is there still too little to go off of at this point?

    Pretty much. We are limited to the currently-known names of padjal, locations like Toto-Rak and the enemies of Tam-Tara.

    With any luck, we will learn more about the Padjal when the game further explores the history of Gelmorra, a Black Shroud civilization that appears to have been at its height (or should I say, its depths - it was built underground) during the earlier parts of the 6th Astral Era.

    But hey, I guess that means you can use your imagination for now.

    Still too little to go off of, though we know it uses the real-life Ainu language as a base.

    I really want to know more about Gelmorra, and I know others who do as well. Heck, I'd like to know more about Amdapor and Nym, too, even though they've both had dungeons at this point and we have a pretty good idea of what destroyed each of them (which is to say: Eorzea's War of the Magi ended disastrously and I'd love a comprehensive history of it, especially how Belah'dia was affected by that whole mess).
