    Just for fun, lets see how the lore lines up on that one

    Would Ifrit be Azeyma (The Warden; Goddess of Inquiry; a noblewoman goddess with a golden fan worshipped by Miqo'te) OR Nald'thal (The Traders; twins with dominion over the world of the living and the world of the dead with responsibility over trade)?

    Would Garuda be Llymlean (Goddess of navigation and fishing, patron of Limsa Lominsa with dominion over the seas) OR Oschon (The Wanderer, God of mountains and vagrants, a carefree ranger with a bow of yew)?

    I dunno if even I can find justifications for this one ><

    I can see Garuda fitting in to either role at a stretch, but you definitely have a point with Ifrit.

    That's really funny, actually, I was thinking I could almost justify Ifrit but had nothin' on Garuda!

    One thing I keep trying to remind myself is that under Tanaka, the Astral (Fire, Lightning, Wind) and Umbral (Earth, Ice, Water) polarities were extremely important. I thought maybe the Archons would be the six astral deities and the Paragons would be the six umbral, or perhaps six of the twelve were gods and six were primals...

    You know, as above so below... but I've yet to come across much in the lore suggesting this.
