Gligamesh - Tavnazia link?

[Myrna]

I think I missed something in a CS, or it just was a very long time ago. When I picked up my earring this morning, Gilgamesh had a Tavnazian flag in his office. Never noticed that thing before, did they add it with CoP or is it just a link I missed down the line?

I'm a sucker for these kinds of things. >.>;

Gilgamesh was born in Tavnazia and founded Norg when he escaped during the Great War iirc?

[bebeci]

Wasn't he the little boy in the intro CS?

[CelinaAlexander]

I thought that was Aldo?

and that was Aldo

[Sagacious Sundi]

The Jakoh profile thing in the Tribune makes it sound like Gilgamesh was already prominent pirate of Norg by the time of the Tavnazian incident, so I doubt he's one of 'em refugees. However, apparently many surviving Tavnazians escaped to Norg, and it's possible that the pirates of Norg are descendants of Tavnazia and Bastok from that Tavnazia/Bastok vs. Windurst/Mithra naval battle by Elshimo.

Speaking of which there's this map in the Manustery that shows the eastern continent (as far as I can tell) I'll post it here for you guys after Limbus since there's no good story thread going at the moment >_>

SAM AF2 quest (Which Gilgamesh gives) is all about Tavnazia. The whole Yomi Okuri(sp) ritual is for the dead Tavnazian refugees that crashed on the shores of Valkurm.

Twenty years ago… … just before the close of the Crystal War. Obscured in the shadows of history, behind the fall of Castle Zvahl, there was a small country that was destroyed. That country’s name was “The Marquisate of Tavnazia.” The pirates of Norg bear the symbol of that forgotten nation upon their flag.

During the fierce war, Norg’s chief pirate, Gilgamesh, escaped from Tavnazia on ships bound for the mainland, but many of them were smashed against the shores of Valkurm Dunes. At the behest of Gilgamesh, you must perform the ritual of “Yomi Okuri” on the wandering souls using Yomotsu Hirasaka, a special holy sword.

Sorry guys, Limbus took a lot longer than expected!

You can cleary see Quon, Kuzotz, Elshimo, and Mindartia there, but look at the left! Oh god, I bet that's where Tenzen and Gessho live together making awesome crossbreed children. You can see a whole peninsula!

[Zarath]

That map is fucked @_@

[Suiram]

Wouldn't that be the western continent? Unless you're suggesting Vana'diel is round, in which case you're a heretic, etc.

Uh
we'll go with both, I kinda figured Arajidah was hueg like xbox though, but it is possible it's another continent

(The Far East? or is Aht Urhgan the Far East? one of the easts ok)

[Lordshin]

aht urghan is near east, Far east is Tenzen's land, and West is the Bison Gear- and totempole -land

[Rocl]

I always confuse my easts

[Sechs]

And don't forget the island nations of Tsahya! If we didn't already know that WotG will be set in the past, I would have bet the setting would have been Tsahya, but oh well...

Oh and about Aldo. He escaped to JEUNO. Even if in some lines they say he created Tenshodo and allied with Gilgamesh, from some other details you can read around appearently he just took over/reformed an association created by his father.

Also the girl you can see in the FMV intro is her sister who lost the memory, you can find her in Selbina (even though she looks younger than Aldo but... ok let's not bother with that lol).
I'm kinda wondering where did Verena come from, the other sister, the one able to speak with beastmen.
@_@

[Lordshin]

im thinking vereina is an "adopted" sister maybe?

not sure... was it ever addressed ingame where she came from?

I came to the same conclusions of course, but I never found anything confirming this in-game. If there is something, it probably comes from some quests I've never done.

[Rocl]

I'm pretty certain they explain Verena is adopted in a CS somewhere, some ZM ? I think where's she all "Aldo has so been kind after taking me and making me his sister!" or something similar
