Final Fantasy XIV

Shimazu Tanaka

I speak little of my past, for much of it remains shrouded in mystery, even to me.

Journey's Beginning

Limsa Lominsa

What I do know is this: the sea carried me to the shores of Limsa Lominsa, where I was discovered as but a child, adrift and alone, with no memory of the journey that brought me there.In Limsa, I spent my youth among its resilient yet welcoming folk, who raised me as one of their own. The city's vibrant culture and the ever-present song of the sea became the backdrop of my childhood. The fisherfolk and sailors took me under their wing, teaching me the ways of the ocean, and the bustling markets and lively taverns were my playground.The city's famed adventurers filled my days with tales of distant lands and heroic deeds, planting the seeds of wanderlust within me.

On Finding Peace

Gridania

When I reached adulthood, my journey led me to Gridania, where I found a semblance of peace amidst the embrace of nature and the warmth of its kind-hearted inhabitants. The dense forests and tranquil streams offered a stark contrast to the salty air and tumultuous waves of Limsa.Here, I learned the ways of the wood, discovering a deep connection to the natural world. The people of Gridania, with their reverence for the elementals and their harmonious way of life, showed me a different kind of strength and resilience.

What To Seek

Kugane

Yet, despite the peace I found in Gridania, a restlessness gnawed at my soul, whispering of unanswered questions and unseen truths. For now, my heart whispers that the answers I seek lie in Kugane, and thus, my journey leads me thither. The port city of Kugane, with its rich history and bustling trade, calls to me with a promise of discovery and understanding.

Where the Journey Leads

EORZEA

Perhaps one day, I shall uncover all that I seek.
Until that time, I will wander the vast lands of Eorzea, ever in search of answers to the riddle that is my life. Each step I take, each new horizon I explore, brings me closer to unraveling the mysteries of my past and forging the path of my future.
My journey is one of endless exploration, driven by the hope that somewhere, someday, I will find the key to unlock the secrets that have eluded me for so long.
