    So...Dalamud in Othard?

    So there are two things that I've been wondering about, and they both pertain to Dalamud.

    First: We know that after the loss of Dalamud's true nature, Eorzeans took to believing that Dalamud was servant to Menphina, but what about civilizations outside of Eorzea? Doma, Hingashi, the Kojin, and the Xaela of the Azim Steppe have incredibly different belief systems and mythology, and some of them have had little meaningful interaction with Eorzea, so what did they make of the lesser moon? I'm especially curious about the Xaela, because the moon is such an integral part of their own mythology.

    Second: What the hecking heck did they think when it just disappeared? Hingashi probably knows the gist of what happened, thanks to trade through Kugane, and it's possible Doma may have heard something, though that's probably dependent on how much information the Garlean forces let through, but I'm not sure if the Steppe has enough contact with people who would know much about it. So, if there are people in Othard who don't know about Dalamud's fall, what do they think made it just disappear?

    I've been waiting for some kind of mention of Dalamud to come up in side quests, but so far I haven't seen any (though I haven't done them all so who knows). Anyone else seen any? Though it is possible that it's not something people would mention off-hand anymore, since it's been 5-6 years. And if there are no NPCs who can enlighten us, maybe possibly our lovely community reps could slide this to our wonderful loremaster?

    Edit: So someone just reminded me of the one Xaela tribe who worshiped Dalamud, but thus far that's little more than a single line blurb. I mean, it's something, but it doesn't tell much.
