Although, I will point out that the Gridanians speak far more of the elementals than the Twelve.

When you put it that way, I guess I should count my blessings that we got Nophica on their company recruitment poster instead of a busty elemental.

if moogles came from the same place as the Twelve, they would be familiar with their ways in a way the five races are not. As immigrants seeking peace, who not cooperate irrespective of what Nophica created their new home for?

I think this is one of the ones that won't have a tangible answer unless SE someday decides to elaborate on the nature of the gods themselves.

"Legend holds that, in a time long forgotten, mooglekind abided in the heavens as loyal servants of the gods."

"A war of deific proportions would erupt, triggered by a feud over a single goblet of wine. Growing weary of the conflict, the reigning moogle monarch, Good King Moggle Mog XII, resolved to lead his people to the realm of mortals in secret, that they might again know a life of peace."

This does seem to imply that they're of the same origin as Moggle. Though, if Moogles served the Twelve, one would assume that the Gridanian religion would assume that they were created by them, which makes them kinda like fluffy little cherubs, Judeo-Christianally speaking.

I think there's something to be said about the true nature of the connections in the way in which they can comprehend things. For instance Moogles can understand the language of the elementals and the language of man, but only certain figures of man can understand moogles, and moogles taught them to hear the elementals. Mythologically speaking, that would make sense considering the hierarchy we're told.

That's one thing that always got me: Moogles usually end up being a sort of servant species to people in Final Fantasy, as well, but in FFXIV (so far, soon to change), they don't interact with humans very much at all and seem to act with more interest towards the elementals. If they were to continue their duty to serve the Twelve, but escaped to the realm of mortals... that would be a good place to start.

But I digress.

It is interesting, though, that you started this discussion with a Jewish societal structure and the Moogles think of Moggle as the figure that led them out of a dangerous servitude to what their legend specifically refers to as the Promised Land...

But I digress.

Indeed, it might be a good idea to leave that one there as there are way too many holes to stumble over and little to be gained from it.

Ferne, can I haz quests? kthxbai
