    Thanks for all the answers, fellas! Really appreciate it!

    About the Elementals...

    I was watching 'The Waning of the Sixth Sun' and saw Kan-e's speech. There is a lord among Elementals who says that "Nophica will never abandon us to the darkness."

    Would that prove that The Twelve are real and not just a myth? Or would the Elementals be playful with the idea of gods, kinda like the Occuria?

    Or maybe they just don't give a crap and play along.

    Interestingly in 1.0's original Gridanian storyline a moogle of all things stated that Yda, Papalymo and the player had been declared by the "great guardian spirit of Everschade to be Messengers of Nophica" - this statement surprised even E-Sumi-Yan. Unfortunately this plot idea was never elaborated on or resolved so I long assumed it had been quietly dropped.

    Ferne actually stated back on the old 1.0 forums that the Twelve actually do indeed exist, but their true form may not necessarily be what the spoken races believe them to be, which led to a lot of wild and interesting speculations.

    Of course we are actually yet to see the Twelve (Louisoix's desperate gamble at summoning their power Primal-style during the Calamity doesn't count), but given Hydaelyn Herself is... a giant sentient crystal, I wouldn't be surprised if the Twelve are also really obtuse in form as well. These tropes at work I guess.

    We still have a few. The openings mention you being smiled upon by the city's guardian deity, and the main character of the BLM storyline mentions receiving messages directly from Nald'thal. Then again, Midgardsormr was said to be Althyk and Nymeia's doing and he's only mentioned Hydaelyn. You can never be sure when people are talking about the divine, lol.
