I decided some time ago to speak to Leviathan on the matters regarding the Legendary Summons. Unfortunately, my comprehension of Eidolon language is still limited, but I managed to understand enough. I may ask her to clarify the first part later once I improve, but she said they're not in her domain. Apparently, on each major continent, there are shrines hidden. Perhaps you could ask Ramuh or Shiva more about them, or even glean some hints as to where they might be?
Sincerely,
Naoto

That's actually very useful to know! I know of some ancient temples in Min'To, Myste Aura and Oktavia, and with Bahamut's temple being in Sen Devadatta, one Eidolon in each of the five nations would make sense. I haven't been able to find anything in Safer yet, but it's good to have confirmation that we're on the right track.
I spoke with Ramuh about Bahamut's summoning earlier. Didn't have any luck learning anything about the other four, though. I'll give Shiva a try soon and let you know how it goes.
Sincerely,
Uendo

It's possible the shrine isn't located in the Republic. Worst case scenario places us out in the snowfields or further into the uncharted region of the continent. However, I could ask around Tark Varentain - more specially, I could ask individuals at the Gunslinger Guild. As well, there is Cloud City. It might not be located on land necessarily, but it is not in the sea either.
I see. I had been hoping Ramuh might know a fair amount, but there may have been limitations set upon them by the Legendary Eidolons. Anyway, looking forward to your correspondence after you speak with Shiva.
Sincerely,
Naoto

I'm sorry to say my attempt with Shiva was a bit of a bust. I don't know whether she didn't have any answers or if I just went about it the wrong way, but she pretty much ignored my questions about the Legendary Eidolons. The only subject she addressed was why she lives in Myste Aura: apparently the North has already been claimed by someone she doesn't want to challenge.
I thought it best not to press the matter and risk annoying her. Not much of a talker, that one. Or perhaps she just takes longer to warm up to a new summoner, being an ice goddess and all. Whatever the case, it looks like we'll have to look elsewhere for now.
Sincerely,
Uendo

Date: 2018-09-22 08:51 pm (UTC)That's unfortunate, but that's a point will have to consider in the future when speaking to the Eidolons. We'll have to put forth the effort into befriending them before inquiring about anything they might find necessary to withhold.
Still, 'the North has already been claimed'. That's most likely the Legendary Eidolon present there already. Part of me doubts it would be Phoenix, but of the other three, who do you believe might be there?
Sincerely,
Naoto

Date: 2018-09-22 10:00 pm (UTC)You're right, of course. It's difficult to be patient when we're on a time limit, but we don't have much of a choice.
As for who might be in the North, it's hard to say. Other than Asura, none of their titles point to a location, and even Feymarch could be just about anywhere. If my guess is correct and the Great McGard Library is built on one of the shrines, I could see it housing Zodiark, the Keeper of Precepts, which would leave Asura or Alexander in the north. That's all just speculation at this point, though.
Mind you, I'm not sure the proximity of a Legendary would necessarily be a deterrent to the other Eidolons. Assuming there is indeed a shrine on each main continent, that would make them all equally intimidating places to live if that were the case. Shiva could have also been talking about Hades; the book we got from Kupoto places him in "the barren north." I don't know if he'd be powerful enough to scare her off, but it's a possibility.
Sincerely,
Uendo

Date: 2018-09-25 10:09 pm (UTC)This is all very true, and it's unlikely for the Eidolons to tell us immediately about where the Feymarch might be located if it remains in one location at all. We should look into the Great McGard Library soon then and concern ourselves with exploration of Myste Aura after.
It's possible, but the mountains of Myste Aura are not so barren. If any place is, it would likely be the Claus Snowfield and beyond where whiteouts and snow is frequent. I'm concerned what may have driven Shiva from her original territory might be another usurper like Ultros with Leviathan. And if that is the case, what power does it hold that she does not fight to take her favorite lands back?
Sincerely,
Naoto

Date: 2018-09-26 09:38 pm (UTC)There is actually a place in Myste Aura that could be a potential shrine location as well. The Mad'ni Shrine is said to have been built on the ruins of an ancient temple and was traditionally used as a site for purification rituals. I could ask Sylvarie how we might go about getting permission to investigate. There's also the I.B. Magitek Tower in Oktavia, but I admit I'm less familiar with that area.
Claus Snowfield is what I was referring to -- sorry if I wasn't clear! But yes, I agree. If it's powerful enough to frighten an Eidolon, it's probably bad news for us... or good news, if we can get it on our side. Either way, it might be wise to delay searching there until we're a little stronger.
Sincerely,
Uendo

Date: 2018-09-27 08:23 am (UTC)I've heard of the Mad'ni Shrine, and you may be onto something. I believe there are a few who still tend to it despite it being publicly considered 'abandoned' so that could possibly be our way inside. As for the I.B. Magitek Tower, I'll ask about it. Again, between the Gunslinger Guild and the Airfield, someone might know.
It's quite alright. Things can be easily lost in communication. I concur on your thoughts, and suggest perhaps taking parties who've mastered more than one or two Asterisks might be ideal for any explorations in case. Of course, this means moving any ventures further into the future and this preparation may need to be forgone due to time restraints.
Sincerely,
Naoto
After the October Event, at the house
Date: 2018-10-30 03:08 am (UTC)After a night's rest, Okuyasu is ready to go back to living his life, cooking and working at the Chocobo Farm and feeding Stray Cat. He strokes his pet's petals on his way to nab a bowl in the morning and spots Uendo already in the kitchen.
He's a pretty responsible adult. It's so weird having another guy help around the house, not that Keicho left all of the housekeeping to Okuyasu, but his bro was busy. They were two teens on a tight budget and couldn't rely on anyone else to keep track of food and supplies.
Maybe he should say something about that.]
Morning, Toneido-san! [Okuyasu waves him with a wide-eyed grin.] You want eggs for breakfast?
no subject
Date: 2018-11-01 10:31 pm (UTC)He hasn't been doing well since the doll museum, frankly. It was more or less fine at the time, thanks to Kisegawa fronting through that whole mess. But the shock of seeing Shisho's body again, after all these months of trying not to think about it, trying not to remember...
Nights have become especially bad. Even if he manages to fall asleep, the accusations always work their way into his dreams, too.]
...Oh! Good morning! [The smile snaps into place and he hurriedly moves to actually make the damn tea.] Eggs sounds lovely, thank you.
[Maybe if Okuyasu is busy making eggs, Uendo will be able to stop dissociating by the time they sit down for breakfast. Maybe.]
no subject
Date: 2018-11-01 11:19 pm (UTC)Even if he is spacing out at breakfast. Maybe he's tired.]
Wanna do tamagoyaki? It's my reward for getting through that museum.
[He pulls out a container of eggs and slides the sugar bowl next to the range.]
whoops I lost this
Date: 2018-12-16 08:42 pm (UTC)[The answer comes out on auto-pilot. Uendo's had years of practice maintaining small talk while his mind is only half-present. Most of it comes from rakugo training; you're always there to entertain, even while you're off stage. And you certainly never let people know you're not 100% in control of your life. It's probably not healthy, but what can you do.
...What was he doing again? Right. Tea. Black tea with milk for Okuyasu. 100% in control.]
no problem!
Date: 2018-12-16 09:17 pm (UTC)He fumbles through the drawers for a moment when he realizes he didn't get all the equipment needed.]
Where's the spatula?
A mysterious package
Date: 2018-11-01 01:10 am (UTC)snailmog mail. It contains a letter and one antique compass with no needle.]I hear you’ve been working hard looking for something at the Summoner’s Guild. I found this a while back, but haven’t been able to do anything with it.
If you can find a way to lever it to your advantage, perhaps it will lead you in the right direction.
Metaphorically.
Because it’s broken.
Good luck!

Date: 2018-11-02 05:27 pm (UTC)Dear Uendo,
First, I extend my apologies for leaving the Center so abruptly. For all the friction involving Outworlders that was encountered, I would rather not have departed it and the responsibilities, much less without a proper goodbye to those who have been so good to me as you yourself have been.
News has reached me that you are organizing an expedition to Mad'ni Shrine to the southwest. When I was young and beginning my education as a White Mage, I would be taken to the shrine as a means to strengthen my magical potential. Though there are those who say the waters there are of nothing special, I believe differently.
Although I'm unable to accompany you personally, if there is anything with which I can help you please let me know. Do be careful, because the area around it is highly venomous—I would suggest preparing measures to combat all the poisons. But once within the boundaries of the shrine, I hope you find peace in the benevolent aura originating from the spirit who dwells there.
You may also pay close attention to the hymns the workers carry. I don't recall them exactly, but they might hold some clues.
Sincerely,
Sylvarie.
Sorry this is late! Player plots ate me.
Date: 2018-11-21 02:05 pm (UTC)Dear Sylvarie,
It's so good to hear from you! I admit I was a little worried when you left, but I can't really blame you considering everything that happened. You have nothing to apologize for, I assure you.
And thank you very much for the advice -- I'll be sure to account for the possibility of poison before we head out. Out of curiosity, do you have any idea whether the spirit of the shrine could be an Eidolon? I haven't been able to ascertain that myself, but it would be a pretty significant lead if it were true.
All that aside, how are you doing? It's been a while since I last got to chat with you or any of the other former Curti Center employees. It would be nice to meet up again if you can spare the time. Perhaps we could arrange something after I get back?
I hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely,
Uendo
Note
Date: 2018-12-11 04:25 pm (UTC)I'm going with Finn to the Dream Width today. Don't forget to feed Stray Cat. Sasami is coming, too. I promise I'll look out for her.

Date: 2018-12-16 08:17 pm (UTC)Uendo stares at the note. He knows he should go with them. It would be the responsible thing to do. But the thought of going back to the Dream Width, now that he's been there once and knows just how unpredictable it is...
That place could drag out any memory. Maybe even ones that Uendo himself can't recall. What if it made him see something from... back then?
He can't do it. He can't risk it. It feels cowardly, but... There will be others to look after them, right? They'll be fine without him, won't they?
...He really isn't all that reliable after all.]
