This image dates all the way back to the first day of open beta. The whole world had been finally opened up to us, and three of my linkshell mates and I were determined to see it. We set out on a path from Ul'dah with our newly created characters, traveling through the wasteland of Mor Dhona on our path to see the highlands of Coerthas. The road was long and difficult, but through shear determination, we eventually reached our goal. The fabled city of Ishgard. Alas, the gates were sealed, so we settled for gazing at it from afar.

As we sat on the cliff side, staring at an entire world of possibilities, I took this shot. It was our first adventure in Eorzea, and our first triumph. Thankfully, it was only the first of many.
