Awesome consolidation of the theories Anonymoose, and I'll eagerly keep reading to see how this concludes.

One aspect of the Limsa storyline that has always always ALWAYS intrigued me is the part of that strange Elezen named Travanchet.

After showing up in the early Limsa storyline missions, he never shows up anywhere in the game again... so I keep asking... who IS this guy???

I know there was a discussion about this on the Lodestone last November or so... and in frustration, I think I even speculated once on my blog that he might be Darnus (which of course never added up).

So yeah...
