Between the Calamity and A Realm Reborn

[FaerieAura]

Hello all!

I'm currently doing research for a tabletop RPG game that I am planning on having set in Eorzea. I've got a 50-page document that details things like racial stats, classes, weapons and items, etc. But the one thing I'm having trouble finding is what actually happened during the period in which I set the game!

I currently plan on running the game during the time period between the Calamity and the beginning of A Realm Reborn, focusing at first on La Noscea about 6 months to a year after the Calamity. In my version of the world, La Noscea became a temporarily popular refugee hub because of the mistaken belief of those on the mainland that it was spared from the Calamity's wrath. I've not found anything in game that suggests this, but I figured it would make at least some sense.

Beyond that though, the only events that I can recall specifically taking place during this time are the failed awakening of Alexander... and that's about it. Some ideas I'm considering exploring for the party at early levels involve the cultists that you find in Tam-Tara. Later, I'm thinking about having them go off exploring Mhach, and potentially some primal battles that got 'swept under the rug' by the governments due to not wanting to cause a panic. (As a side note, the Player Characters are not going to have the echo, so fighting Primals will be an extreme risk for them. I also don't plan to have all of the Primals be ones that we find in-game already.)

Does anyone have any information on potential lore events I should be aware of as I plan for this time period in Eorzean history, or even just potential things that you think would be fun to explore?
