02 — The Azim Steppe.

ET 8:00 AM

The warm weather and clear sky of Othard were a welcome change from the bleak coldness of Ishgard.

As Sora watched Shiro frolicking across the grassland, they couldn’t help feeling a pang of complication as they glanced around the Azim Steppe. Here was the homeland to their race, the Xaela tribes, and it was said to be where their kind originated from according to the legends—if only they were an Eorzean Xaela.

Sora wasn’t sure if they truly belonged here; nevertheless, it was fascinating to learn about them when they passed by the Far East highlands during one of their adventures. They would have liked to learn more about their race from their original home, but nothing was left except a gaping void, leaving them as the lone survivor of a world best left forgotten. Their lips tightened at the gnawing fear of the hazy memories of their past fading away and forgetting their true roots with each passing time, then they shook their head to clear their clouded mind.

While the Xaelas were interesting, the Namazu were a completely different matter.

“Yes, yes, we can complete your order on time if Gyoshin can keep his wits together,” Seigetsu the Enlightened scoffed and he sneered at his companion, which was amplified by his narrowed gaze. “In fact, we’re very grateful for you to come to us with this offer, Miss—I mean, Mister Sora. For our kind to be finally recognized and respected, the new era for the Namazu has come!”

“…Pleasure.” But first, you should really deflate that insufferable ego.

Luckily for Sora, Seigetsu couldn’t read the dark thoughts in their mind, and so he went on, “However, we also have a favor to ask of you.”

Here we go again.

“Can you go to Dawn Throne and collect, well, what’s-his-whiskers? The Nervous Namazu whom I don’t bother to recall his name.”

ET 8:07 AM

It nearly took seven minutes of flying around to find the Namazu lying in the moat surrounding the Oronir tribe’s current residence, half dying and all ready to be served as food.

“O-Oh, it’s you. T-Thank the Big Ones, yes… yes.”

“For Hydaelyn’s bloody sake, get up already.”

“N-No, no,” he stammered, still twitching with glazed eyes in the water. “I-I can’t feel my fins anymore. I… don’t even know which way is up, too.”

Rolling their eyes at the ridiculousness, Sora went down and stuffed the Namazu into the chocobo saddlebag.

“P-Please, please be gentle!”

“If you don’t shut up, I’ll roast you here and now. I still haven’t eaten my breakfast yet.”

And that silenced the squirming bag for the rest of the trip back to the festive stronghold of the Namazu, Dhoro Iloh.

The image depicts the seven-year festival at Dhoro Iloh: Namazu in red happi are scattered all across the scene, some waving fans and carrying mikoshi floats and some simply enjoying the event.

In the upper-left, a dark blue banner says "Pre-Orders End Aug 30"; in the upper-right, a blue-white line of text shows the Twitter logo and "@FFXIVTRAVELZINE". The article excerpt reads, "Indeed, an interview with the three architects of the festival - Gyoshin, Gyorei and Seigetsu of Yuzuka Manor - reveals that their selfsame divine ancestor is to credit for the idea. 'Every seven hundred and seventy-seven years,' Gyoshin explains, '[the Namazu of the One River] must hold a seven-year celebration commemorating the birth of our tribe, yes, yes! Gruesome annihilation awaits should we fail to heed the Big One.' End Image ID] My partner @trarioven​ and I contributed an article on the seven-year Namazu festival to the @ffxivtravelzine​! Everyone has done spectacular work on their pieces - preorders are open now, so consider giving the page a look.

Day Nine: Namazu

Syra’s favorite namazu, without a doubt, is Seigetsu the Enlightened. Syra loves knowledge and stories in all their forms and Seigetsu has many of them with his extensive knowledge of festival practices and local culture.
