Pre-ARR LORE Guide! (Help Improve It!)

[Azurymber]

Hi, I'm Azury Aiella, as many of you may have missed out on 1.0, or parts of it, I have compiled a lore guide to provide a feel of what 1.0's world was like before ARR begins.
It's a little unorganized as it's a compilation of my old lore guide with new parts added.

This lore guide covers open world NPCs, quests, missions, character creation, forum mod posts, lodestone posts, and more.

I hope this thread improves your enjoyment of the game :]
Please contribute ^-^
And please post your support <3

Also for more information try: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/ as they have a prety epic wiki that goes into much more detail than this does.
