I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, everyone forgets we are the WoL like those that came before us. They remember the acts, but not the face behind it and maybe only those with the echo remember (ie Scions). Also a possession like what happened with Thancred who also has the echo would be another way to do it. It has been a while since we saw any of those as I don't remember any in SB yet.

I could also see another way, especially with 4.2 and a way to bring us into 5.0 in Garlean lands as being turned over by leadership of Eorzea for peace with the Garlean Empire. I'd love to explore Garlean lands in the future behind enemy lines and that would be one way to do it and have the WoL start out there.
