Lore

Did I hear ye rightly? Yer sayin' that you revived the long-lost Allagan art o' summonin'? Bloody hells, I'd always thought 'twas naught but a myth...

If it's as ye say, the tales I heard growin' up might well have some truth to 'em. In particular, the one about the maiden Wiyu springs to mind. 'Twas the most detailed among 'em, ye see.

She was a right ravishin' lass, this Wiyu, with bright, green eyes an' a fiery spirit to match. Alas, she goes on to meet a premature end.

Accordin' to the tale, she an' her comrades square off against Odin, the Dark Divinity. When the battle takes an ill turn, she sacrifices herself to save her party. Right tragic, I know.

Now, the encounter s'posedly took place in the Sylphlands, over in the East Shroud.

Assumin' there's any truth to the tale, might be as the grimoire used by Wiyu's still lyin' out there somewhere. To be sure, the Allagan Empire's three eras gone, but there ain't no harm in takin' a look, eh?

— Gerolt, when asked to restore a weapon for a Summoner.

But what's done is done...or in this case, not done. Anyroad, let's talk about that text ye brought. It contains the many trials an' tribulations of our green-eyed heroine.

As ye might expect, the tome tells ye a fuller story than ye'd get from yer grandmama. Thankfully, one o' the chapters happens to describe Wiyu's grimoire in detail.

I thought that the studs what adorn it were only good for holdin' the bloody thing together. But it turns out they're meant to channel the wielder's aether as well. Ye learn summat new every day, eh?

Anyroad, it should be easy enough to replace the studs with summat more suitable for the job.

— Gerolt, regarding literature on Wiyu.
