[Request] Garlean Headpiece Item

[Titor]

- if there was, they most definitely would have been discovered long ago and imprisoned in research facilities

This could be the case, however since we have not been to Garlemald yet, we are unsure either way.

We have seen Garleans both:

Succumb to tempering/imprinting, as well as fall to the influences of the Darkness (CT storyline). If the echo really is hydaelyn's form of tempering/gift, then a Garlean could obtain it as well, probably.

We have also seen Garlean pureblood defectors. I do not see why a Garlean could not be chosen to have the echo based on these criteria

However, as said before, this item would not turn the PC into a real Garlean, it would just be used for roleplay which is usually separate from the MSQ events, or to be used as a forehead decoration/gem

Pureblood garleans have no aetheric affinity I think? Having the blessing of light, let alone being a chosen of Hydalaen would be out of the question. Nor do I recall any true-blood garleans that pertain to the above.

Sure you can have a forehead gem could glamour, but trying to roleplay as a pureblood garlean is just smacking lore right in the face with the above in consideration.

People don't generally RP their characters as the Warrior of Light, and separate the main story from their RP canon. Still, a pureblood garlean that happened to defect (which I imagine is rare) and has the echo (which is a rare ability) is kind of a stretch.

I'd think being able to interact with the past and the other like abilities that the echo offers, would involve aether at some point.

[Titor]

Yeah, very few RP as having the echo, and fewer rp as warriors of light. None of the Garlean rpers (myself included, on my garlean RP alts) that I know of RP as this. They mostly RP as engineers. If people want to rp as a garlean with the echo, however, I do not really care. I have seen bigger lorebreaking characters than someone RPing a Garlean with the echo.

Though, due to the examples I have stated above, I do not believe it out of a question for a Garlean to have the blessing of hydaelyn. If you read what I said in the spoilers, it already shows that they are able to be aetherically affected by primals and stuff. You do not have to use aether manipulation or anything to experience the echo, it seems to be more like hydaelyn putting thoughts in your head.

Maybe one of the lore devs could chime in?

[Titor]

Would still like to see this as an item!

[Titor]

Bump for visibility !

[Titor]

Still would like to see this!

The new expansion is supposed to be in the Garlean empire, i'm sure if so you'll have plenty of those items.

[Daranion]

you realize what the echo IS right? Do you not remember the Leviathan quests? A pureblood Garlean could NEVER have the echo, impossible.

That aside, I don't see the harm in a forehead dot glamor. A bit of Eorzean blackface never hurt anyone

[Titor]

I would, still, like to see this item!
