    If one of the things I learned from anime it is that the Pipe Lady is most likely a ally NPC who serves as the "Black Market/Information seller" NPC in the storyline that may provide us some illegal assets and particular "Rumors" that goes around Othard for the right price.

    But you have to admit the old theory that floated around for a while had merit. Dissidents/Survivors of the War of the Magi left Eorzea to escape the Witch Hunts and founded Sharlayan, pooling their arts to create Red Magic, and training Red Mages to protect their new haven. Having learned from the past, they dedicated the pursuits of their nation to learning and chronicling history.

    What we have now follows the start of that theory, but instead of doing the logical thing and fleeing the witch hunts, as well as learning from history, it seems some remnants of Mhach and Amdapor just decided to tough it out instead, and go down the same path.
    Well they can still pull Sharlayan being established by Amdapor and Mhach survivors and have some Red Mage knowledge for later Red mage Job skills and storyline but just not the lore being the founder of Red Mage.

    It mentioned Red Mage was established right after the Great Flood but when Sharlayan is establish still remains unknown.

    Due to how scattered the small amount of survivors were there is also the possibility there was a separate group of survivors that established Sharlayan and maybe establish communication with the Red Mage order sometime after thus having some Red Mage in Sharlayan with a few new Skills we may obtain in future expansions once we go to Sharlayan and would explain the possibility of Red Mage having their armor theme design to be like Sharlayans.

    Though in the end it is how Red Mages are treated that would be in question in the Job Storyline rather than origins.
