Job NPCs and their interaction with the MSQ

[YianKutku]

Scholar: Not only are some of the most amusing ones Tonberries, and thus kill on sight in most areas of Eorzea, they also have a pretty insulated questline about Nym. Not much reason to unless we have a whole expansion based on the War of the Magi (which I wouldn't mind to be fair...)

I'd also love to see more elaboration on the War of the Magi, especially Nym. Which seems to be isolated entirely to the SCH quests, as well as a few offhand mentions when people talk about the belligerents of the war. All the focus elsewhere seems to be on Amdapor and Mhach, to the point where I have no idea why Nym was even involved in the war in the first place.

My vague impression was that Mhach was basically extra mean and sent the plague voidsent over to Nym for no reason other than to screw with them. Not for any tactical or strategic considerations, but entirely because Mhach wanted to be jerks.

Nym's involvement in the war seems to have been mainly defensive, although the 60-70 questline reveals that they did send at least one spy into Amdapor. Most of the SCH job description just seems to talk about what amazing defensive magi they are.

It's funny now that I think about it, but for having an entire job questline focused on Nym, we don't even get that much info on the nation itself. "Royal Marines" suggest that it was a monarchy... and that's about it.
