Argute Gown Medals

What do they mean?

If the Scholar uniform truly is from the Nymian age, I'm assuming that the medals are from the War of the Magi. Nym's tactical units of Scholar + Marauder pairs held off the city's enemies against seemingly impossible odds all the way up to when the tonberry sickness destroyed the nation.

Having just done the quest myself, the first SCH quest goes into a bit of detail about how Nym's vastly outnumbered military force held back the might of much stronger nations. It's actually the entire reason the NPC is conducting their research in the first place.

Scholar job quests ^^

The civilization flourished some fifteen-odd centuries ago, during the Fifth Astral Era. The Nymians lived during an age of wonders, when the magical arts flourished. But magicks can be wielded for weal or for woe, and this period of peace eventually gave way to the great War of the Magi. The nations of that bygone era brought earth-shattering magicks to bear against one another. Yet Nym, with only a handful of mages to support its army of mariners, repulsed would-be invaders time and time again. Precisely how a military force of this composition could defy its stronger neighbors is a mystery which has long puzzled military historians. By translating extant Nymian tablets which I have recently purchased, I mean to solve the riddle at long last.

Apparently, a single scholar could provide effective support for an entire party of marauders! They would employ their magicks to heal the wounds and enhance the abilities of their allies. Moreover, they often served in leadership roles, as they were highly trained tacticians.

I think it correlates with how frequently the Scholars posted on the forums.

Most along the lines on how many Whm are blamed.

I would love to see it being a token from War of the Magi, but then I haven't nearly killed as many WHM as I should have to get it...I should give it back :/ (Maybe add some BLM in there too)

To note, anyone notice if those medals match any RL medals?
