Lore Book Revelations

[Zojha]

Pulse of Life is the White Mage Three Bar Limit Break so obviously it is our fault for not going everywhere with a group of seven trusted companions at all times.

I'm not sure that's exactly how LBs work, lorewise.
Looking at Chimatsuri for example, all it says is that it's using the aether suffusing a battlefield - which probably means a ninja could even do it solo, provided they are able to use the ability in the first place. A similar restriction is put on Final Heaven (though the phrasing: "Cannot be used until the practitioner is prepared to reach beyond mortal limits into the divine" is borderline 4th wall breaking).
In the case of Pulse of Life, it says it draws upon the reserves of all allies present, but it doesn't state any restrictions as to how and when it can be used - so if there are sufficient allies around, yeah, a WHM WoL would be able to use it, with a higher strain put on the allies the less there are to draw from (probably even killing some if there are too few or their aetherial reserves are lacking).

Anything about Nanamo, please?

If Yugiri has a family/clan name the Lore Book doesn't give it.

Rowena genuinely doesn't seem to be doing anything with the tomestones but selling them, the more interesting question is who's she selling them to. The section on Allagan Chimera talks about how scholars thought creatures like Hydra were natural until they started deciphering the tomestones so I suspect that our ultimate buyers may be Sharlayan.

Julyan is afraid of aging. Despite being a mother to a man of twenty-three summers she claims to still be a very young woman and it is extremely dangerous to suggest that she owes her fresh looks to the best alchemical creams and tonics the Manderville fortune can buy.

Wow. Thanks, you are my hero. Any indication of what Yugiri was the Lady of? She leads the refugees, sure but did she lead Doma as well?

Twenty-three summers? Godbert? Seven hells! How often do they have summers there? I'm twenty five years old.

Godbert is 56 or 58 I believe. Its Hildy that's 23...

"Having thus mastered ninjutsu and being given the epithet "Mistwalker", she pledged herself to the remnants of the Doman general's clan. Thereafter, she waged a war against the Garlean Army. Alas, the rebellion ended in defeat, and the Domans lost everything. Obeying her lord's orders, Yugiri led a number of her countrymen in flight."

. . . I really look forward to seeing what the Japanese phrasing of that text is because I would bet cold hard gil that they're going to call her lord "Shogun" instead of the vaguer "Doman general".

I knew all those lotions and potions om the Mandervillian Maid barding were Julyan's!.... But I certainly won't tell her that.

Ah yes. A mother of a man of twenty three summers. Reallly failing at reading here. Now that makes a lot more sense.

Interesting. So she wasn't actually Doman after all. The book does say that ninja are from Higashima I believe. Originally I mean. And she joined Doma AFTER it had been destroyed. I might be incorrect, hut japanese pretty much says shogun instead of general anyway, so it's likely shogun in the original. Maybe it isn't named explicitly because we might bump into said general *cough* Cyan *cough* if we get Samurai in Stormblood.

It puts the lotion in the basket.

Sorry! I'm trying to avoid getting in trouble for reproducing the entire book here so I'm not transcribing full entries, which meant I left some important stuff out.

Yugiri probably is from Doma, she's definitely not from Hingashi, she's described as "having witnessed the terrors wrought by the Garlean Empire, a young Yugiri made the pilgrimage from her Raen home to the village of the shinobi, seeking tools with which she might fight the Empire".

Anything about Nanamo, please?

I haven't seen anything we didn't already know but to be fair the more important a character is the more the information about them is just scattered everywhere, such as how Aymeric's love of cooking isn't listed in his entry but wound-up mentioned in Lucia's.

Going to take a wild guess that the kanji for that is 日ヶ島, which would literally mean "sun island." What's Japan called by the Japanese? 日本, "origin of the sun."

No worries. I still appreciate all the info. Don't want to get you into trouble. Altough SE doesn't seem to do anything about all the scan uploads. Thankfully, cause I can't afford to buy and ship a lorebook at present and am very hungry for lore. But honestly I plan to buy the whole thing eventually either way. So she left Doma to become a ninja, but came back too late. Now that's even more interesting.

Okay I searched for that part again. It's Hingashi and apparently it means "the east". Also it's an island nation that isn't a part of Othard. So I guess it is like Vylbrand and Aldenard.
If I understand the Au Ra entry correctly, Doma is the city state of the region of Yanxia.
