    I'm guessing it's symbolizing the alliance. Hydra, a many headed beast; the alliance, a multinational force.

    Re: Timelines - The Kingdom of San d'Oria

    very very nice...

    It made the Sandy timeline alot more clear for me..
    I like how it foreshadows alot for WotG, like the Royal Knights helping out Tarus in the fort (theres a screenshot on WotG page that seems to be this scene) and the Tonberry assassinator...

    btw.. some of your date formatting is screwed up.. where u get running numbers in front of the date... it starts from

    857 – Ferry service between Selbina and Mhaura is established.

    8.858 – The Shadow Lord’s Army clashes with the Orcish Empire in the Northlands.

    9.858...

    This is a very interesting read, Elmer. Thank you for posting this.

    Curious, is there or are there any books or related material detailing Bastok and Windurst's history, or Zilart and Kuluu, or Aht Urghan empires? It would give a rather complete picture to Vana'diel's history.

    Viva la Windurst!

    Re: Timelines - The Kingdom of San d'Oria

    I wonder if some of the people who went missing during that timeline will be involved in the Wings of the Goddess story line. Who is to say that during the Crystal War and now are the only times that Atmos appeared. Maybe they didn't die, but got pulled into another time.

    In addition, he brought about a new riding seat called a “saddle,” which allows people to travel long distances on a Chocobo. Building upon that idea, he also developed a special harness he could attach to himself so he could take TaruTaru guests on sightseeing tours.
    cute lol

    Re: Timelines - The Kingdom of San d'Oria

    Wow, thanks a lot. Just what is needed to refresh memories before WotG is released, which will surely draw heavily on many of these details. Will you be doing timelines for the other two nations also or is it just the one?

    So Vrtra was trapped in 831.

    The expansion takes place in 862.

    Can I get like. One of Ranperre's guards by the door.

    Trade him a Cloud Evoker-esque item that grants you access to within.

    18-man Ouryu-like BC vs. a slightly weaker Vrtra (less HP, same stats, no pops, just summons).

    AFK, jerkin.

    There are two more time limes in the book, one for Bastok, and one for Windurst. Bastok's begins in 3000 B.C.E. with the remnants of the oldest known Hume settlement in Dangruf Wadi. Windurst's begins in 01 C.E. with the star of Gordeus going supernova, marking the start of the Crystal Era (C.E.)

    The book says Eald'narche by name for these events. Is there a reason it couldn't be him?

    It actually makes perfect sense if you think about RoZ and what not >.>

    Re: Timelines - The Kingdom of San d'Oria

    methinks theres a confusion with the npcs.

    you learn later in RZ missions that Eald'narche is the true power in jeuno.

    Well this is suppoused to be written by historians correct? Wouldn't you find it odd if it was the duke's kid brother doing all the work? Especially when you think about RoZ. If so why didn't just Eld'narche drop the charade and take direct control instead of using his brother as a puppet?
