    On an unrelated culinary topic, I always thought this was kind of interesting. There is (was) a quest in Gridania where a prophet of Azeyma, the Warden asks you to call certain individuals to repentance. The reward is 12 pieces of flatbread--which is appropriate, because the Latin for 'unleavened' is 'azyma' (taken directly from the Greek αζυμα).

    Oh... my... Twelve...
    You have just unleashed a veritable storm of speculation on the nature of Azeyma in my lore-addled brain.

    I presume they would - although the backstory I'm developing for my character doesn't feature something like that, it does share certain aspects of myself in real life, so I think others who like to role-play their characters would indeed work out an in-game reasoning behind it, to make it consistent and believable.

    Also, interesting idea about Azeyma Fatestorm - Azeyma is my character's guardian, in keeping with her being a member of the Seeker of the Sun miqo'te clan (even though in the backstory I'm working out for her, Enki isn't really devout - she's more pragmatic when it comes to the Twelve, owing to her origins as an Ala Mihgan refugee), so that quest in 1.0 was very intriguing. I never picked up on the flatbread reference though (despite the fact that when I used that item in battle, it always mentioned in the chatlog that 'it tasted divine' ) - the depth of the lore hidden in the game is constantly astounding me.

    Thanks for that info!
