Names for Tempering

[Anonymoose]

This would also of course spread to Vylbrand, but wouldn't gain as much traction there because the island already has experience with a primal who has been tempering people (assuming he did this the previous times he was summoned and drowning isn't recent tactic).

This idea of geographical and chronological order makes the most sense to me in an ARR capacity, in some ways. I've been afraid to latch onto it too hard because it falls back on making assumptions about what in 1.0 is still considered canon. Titan and Leviathan were first summoned around the same time and we never learned how Titan's tempering was referred to. Even the term "Drowned" didn't show up until ARR - in 1.0 they were just despicable pirates who'd abandoned their kin to "take up the Sahagin god." After Ifrit tempers some people, one Small Talk NPC inside an instance simply muses "I've heard rumors the beast tribes brainwash people - maybe that's what the Serpent Ravers are!" and left it at just "brainwashing."

Methinks I may need to go back to the Japanese transcripts of unreleased quests I got from some interblogz forever ago and attempt a more dutiful translation.

You think SE would pull the threads down if I tried to crowdsource some translations via Google Docs? lol
