The Hatching Hour Approaches

The Last Word – Storm over Gridania
The heavens seem hell-bent on inundating Gridania of late. While the Twelveswood is no stranger to willful weather, something is afoot that sits ill with this reporter. Driven by an inner disquiet, I set out on a mission to give shape and form to intangible trepidation.

Ere long, I pick up the trail of irregularity, catching curious whispers on the wind that deaspected crystals have been circulating. Yes, you read true: these crystalline manifestations of aetheric energy are turning up utterly divested of aspect. Even a wee tot could tell you that such a thing is an affront to the very laws of nature.

Perchance this development does not suffice to chill spines, the frightful rumors being propagated by a camp-bound transient could well prompt folk to run for the hills. This shady figure is said to manifest with nary a warning, preach feverishly of impending doom, and then vanish like a phantom only to reappear elsewhere. Though the ramblings of this seemingly touched soul are largely lost to gibberish, such is the zeal with which they are delivered, more than a few citizens are like to be taken by fear.

Far be it from this reporter's intent to incite panic, but if history has taught man aught, it is that we dismiss portentous signs at our peril. Are these incidents merely isolated occurrences? Or are they a dire warning of disaster? This I leave to you, our informed readers, to ponder.

Something will happen Everything besides the "Doom part" has already has come into Fruition, with Deaspected Crystals, Shady Figures ( Ulgarith whatever you spell his name) Shouting out impending doom then Disappearing only to come back elsewhere ( Which he has). Willful Weather ( Rain Mostly) but theres always some kind of Weather effect that isnt sunny out 90% of the time. And also to add of NPC's Saying crazy End is nigh lines all over Eorzea. If you think nothing will happen... like some of you say, well Just look at the connections even this line from the Grand Compaines Page says this:

Command Centers which combine the Military, economic and Technological Resources of a City-state in order to better Prepare it for the Coming Doom.

Coming Doom? I been here that alot lately.. Doom this and Doom that... Lets face Reality... Something is going to happen "in Epic Proportions"

Again thats just me

I'm not sure why you quoted me, as we're talking about two different events. I was talking about the egg event Hatching-tide. Jihli and her archons. You're talking about "Storm over Gridania."
I'm not yet convinced these two events are even related.

Just felt like Quoting someone :P, in any rate, The Hacthing- Tide Event is connected with the Archons ( Which are these Shady Figures Correct?) And these Shady Figures Are Related to the "Storm Over Gridania" Writing Because they all Mention it in same way or fashion, thats why I believe its related, and also another reason why I posted in here, is because some people seem to think nothing is going to happen that 1.17b or 1.18 is just going to be another Lackluster patch and all that jazz. Theres nothing wrong with getting excited about something that may or may not come, but with all these Clues and connections, what makes you believe "nothing" is going to happen, Espeically when SE is on Thin ice right now and they need to rebound in a worst way. They are a company trying to keep and make subscribers= money, Im sure they wont mess up a second time

Just sayin'
