On a different matter, I feel mischievously obliged to pull out this thread on those staves from April 2013:

Even if the Ixal didn't know, you'd think Garuda would be pissed.
At the time, we were inconclusive about how the Ixal got their hands on these things, though they seemed moderately common due to their use in the Hyrstmill hamlet raids.



Now, here is something else on the subject:
Allagan Runestone - Menphina

It is a symbol of the Twelve, named as being of Allagan origin and the Allagans were proficient summoners and primal-controllers. Something tells me that these marks have more to do with summoning rites than they do with full blown deities.

If the Little Ala Mhigan Youth had succeeded in summoning Rhalgr, would Ramuh have popped out?
If the Archbishop of Ishgard tried to summon Halone, would Shiva materialise? (yeah, I'm still going there...)
