The Last Word – Storm over Gridania

[Eldaena]

All I can say is all the zones seem to be very rainy lately.

[Gracious]

Day (1) Warnings, crystals dropping, no music
Day (2) Raining everywhere but the ferry

That's all I have atm if anyone knows more let's try and figure this out.

[Eldaena]

Wasn't the 6th Umbral Era a time of great flood?

[Shenanigans]

Full thunderstorm on the ferry ride over just now, seems the storm's spread pretty much everywhere.

Shen.

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?

Its raining everywhere here in Fabul lol

Pepeli: There was a strange fellow here not long ago, preaching to any who would listen. Dark words, about the coming of the seventh Umbral Era...
Jajajbygo: Had word of a shady bloke seen wanderin' about. Best keep an eye out, eh?

Funny enough, it just stopped raining in Black Shroud on Misydia.

Anyway, hats off to SE. This is how a live event should be done.

You think it'll be something new every day leading up to the 7th day?

[Betelgeuzah]

It's not really 7th day, its the 7th umbral era.

This is what is said in-game:

The constance and eternity of time derive from the pulse and breath of the Twelve. And by their divine will the brilliance of the Astral Eras which see man flourish and prosper, and the shadows of the Umbral Eras which see man falter and doubt, are visited upon him in equal, and neither the greatest god nor the greatest evil may escape their purview.

Since the peace among the Twelve was broken and life was created to wage their wars, six cycles of the Eras have come to pass in keeping with the elemental order. The Sixth Umbral Era belonged to the waters, as heavy rains fell and the seas rose high, submerging and cleansing all in a great deluge. With time the waters receded, ushering in the present Sixth Astral Era, during which man has again rebuilt his halls and tilled his lands.

Naught save the ken of the Twelve themselves knoweth when the Seventh Umbral Era shall come and end our days. The sole certainty what resides within man is the selfsame as it has ever been - ours is the power to make our Era what we might.

Can't really figure out any dates based on that.

That is the way I'm leaning on this. Still a bit early to say for sure. It might be a good idea to note the weather hourly to see if we see a pattern or if we can piece it together. Also, new dialogue with npc's would help. I think it will be 7 rl days though from what I've seen so far.
