Azury Ariella's Lore Compilation / Guide -- PLEASE CONTRIBUTE <3

[Eekiki]

For the real life references section, there's an NPC in Ul'dah at around 7,4 (head out the western door of the Adventurer's Guild). When you talk to him, what he says is a reference to the ending of the music video of the Radiohead song "Just".

EDIT: The character's name is Drew, and he's a little further down the way from the Adventurer's Guild than 7,4. He's half hidden behind some boxes.

This may not be a 100% accurate quote, but it's something like:
"You want to know why I'm sitting here? Yes I'll tell you, I'll tell you why I'm sitting here. But gods forgive me, and gods help us all, because you don't know what you ask of me. <mumble>"

The video, in case you haven't seen it, involves a guy laying on the street, and as the video progresses a crowd gathers and demands to know why he's laying there even though he's perfectly healthy and does not want any help. At the end of the video, he says that (except replace the word "sitting" with "laying", and singlularize "gods"), and the last shot is everyone in the crowd laying in the street along with him.
