The Last Word – Storm over Gridania

[gifthorse]

On my search through Gridania I'm also finding these odd things along the way. There are NPCs marked on the map in a few areas that are not characters but inanimate objects.

(29, 31) It's a darkened fireplace. You can target it and it reads this "The hearth's flame has died out."
(31, 30) It's a lit stone lantern that is common in the Black Shroud. You can target it and it reads this: "The Watcher carries out its silent vigil."
(34, 32) Another stone lantern that you can target and reads the same thing.


Still looking for more of these to add because I've never noticed them before.

Some of those are for NPC quests already in the game.

edit: NVM, beetlejuice responded first.

I really doubt what you're talking about is part of the event. Probably just some random GM popped up and you got lucky enough to be there at that moment.

Maybe not, I guess I was wrong about this. someone just popped up on my server in Ul'Dah. Casted the buffs and shouted "Lorsque le sixième soleil se sera couché et que la septième lune brillera dans le ciel, l'océan de nuages déversera une pluie de flammes ardentes et des ombres funestes jailliront du plus profond de la terre..."

Can we get a translation? I heard something about "When the 6th sun will have set and the 7th moon shone in the sky"

If it's going by 6th sun, meaning the 6th sun of the week (assuming the week starts on Sunday), I'm guessing something will happen around 12 am Friday night, going into Saturday at the end of next week. That would be the 6th/7th of May..

Hello Benji, looks like we were both in Uldah when the NPC arrived. At the same time, near Gogorano, another NPC popped up called Alfgar, and started barking a message about bewaring a false prophet. Guess they're on opposite sides of the fence on this one.

someone heard a GM saying weird stuff in japanese , benji and almamalma heard yoshi-p poem in french (it is yoshi-p poem in french). Something is about to happen. And I don't want to miss it!

[Eldaena]

It was french. Here is what it translated to:

"When the sixth sun will layer and that the seventh moon shines in the sky, the ocean of clouds will emit a rain of flames were blazing and the sinister shadows seedbed where the deepest part of the earth ..."

I suppose we will never know since no one does leves at camps in the Black Shroud

[Fleur]

Hey now, the black shroud is my favorite place for mining leves, lots of silver for my goldsmithing! :P I've been in the shroud a lot this week and haven't seen anything unusual, though it looks like there are some interesting things coming. ^^

[Shenanigans]

6th sun / 7th moon stuff is probably talking about the end of the 6th Astral era (the sun setting) and 7th Umbral era (moon rising) not rl dates. Can someone dig out Yoshi's poem? Pretty sure that mentioned suns and moons, and with all the focus on the Astral/Umbral eras lately in the sidequests it might make a *little* more sense now.

Shen.

It is very rainy in Thanalan regions lately and the normal music is not playing for me is this related to the storm events? The music in all other areas plays fine for me. I don't remember Ul'dah areas having so much rain before, it's normally sandstorms right?

[Gracious]

Ok I just heard that it's raining everywhere now. I also heard the weather on the ferry says rainy but it's stary in the sky. Can anyone confirm this?
