A woman's voice, vibrant and clear, answered his polite knock. Thus it was that the bookish man, unable to deny his interest and finding no valid reason to refuse, agreed to assist the academic in her pursuit of reference materials.Īt the appointed hour, he took himself to the anteroom which abutted the entrance hall. One fateful day, the man was summoned by the chief archivist to attend to the needs of a visiting academic. A rather distinguished one at that. Over the last few centuries, this influential figure had produced striking results in the field of organic research, and her assertion that organisms were simply another form of matter was one which intersected neatly with his personal theories. There was little he enjoyed more, likening the process to a tree gaining rings with age, or layers of sediment building up over the eons. When time permitted, the man would step away from his meticulous archiving to peruse the works on the shelves, referencing their ideas to flesh out his own hypotheses.
He was of the firm belief that one could solve the mysteries of one's surrounds─indeed, of the star itself─by understanding the fundamental building blocks from which they were formed. He would ponder what made a stone a stone─the properties which defined its existence. While others poured their passion into new concepts and creations, the man remained fascinated by the study of extant reality. Such duties demanded an unrivaled breadth and depth of knowledge, and thus for those who valued scholarly achievement, an appointment to Anyder archivist was considered an honor. In short, it held the sum of mankind's accumulated wisdom.Īs vast as this collection was, it required the oversight of no few curators, whose responsibility it was to categorize─and subsequently organize─the ever-increasing number of papers, crystals, and other recordkeeping mediums. Within its expansive walls, not only were creation concepts cataloged, but every known natural law and phenomenon was documented in exhausting detail. In a quiet corner of Amaurot, the bustling metropolis at the heart of civilization, sat a vault known as Anamnesis Anyder. * A total of four new stories are scheduled to be released. * Please note that Tales from the Dawn may contain spoilers from the main scenario. To mark the ninth anniversary of FINAL FANTASY XIV, we proudly present a new collection of side stories with Tales from the Dawn! Peer deeper into the hearts and minds of a diverse cast of characters, beginning with the first installment: A Friendship of Record. The rest of the short stories are set to be released on September 2nd, September 9th, and September 16th. You can read the first story of "Tales from the Dawn" here or below. While it's not outright stated, the screenshot at the end of the heartwarming story does imply that we've met this archivist in Endwalker.and now I have to go cry. While the vignettes don't cover any major characters - so far at least - we are getting a lot more insight into characters that are mildly important that we may not think about very often.įor example, this first short story, titled "A Friendship of Record", released today is told from the perspective of an archivist at Anamnesis Anyder, and a very fond admirer and friend of Venat. The series, titled "Tales from the Dawn," fleshes out many characters that some of us may have had questions about when meeting them.
