“In his blind pursuit to surpass his father, the Resilient Son lost his way, and set foot upon a path that distanced him from friends, comrades, and loved ones. At the end was naught but a twisted throne, before which Zoraal Ja consumed the souls of his own people in a bid to fulfill his hollow ambitions. Was it the pride of a king that consumed his heart in these final moments, or was his conscience weighed down by all he had done? The sorrowful notes of the wandering minstrel's song weave a thread of tragedy through the tale of the First Promise, and your heart grows heavier with each mournful chord. Memories of the encounter soon come flooding back, visions of a harrowing battle playing once again in your mind's eye.

Trivia
- Because the wall AoE surrounding the arena is not instant death, players have developed a "cheese" strategy for Projection of Turmoil which takes advantage of the fact that the moving line that detonates players' stack debuffs on contact will disappear in the outside wall AoE and not pass through the entire arena. Because of this, players may deliberately stand in the wall (with healing) where the line does not pass through and let their debuffs naturally expire, which (on release) has no effect. Doing so essentially bypasses the mechanic. Square Enix has acknowledged that this was a bug and will be patched.
