I was very impressed by the level of research and fidelity of representation of Indian culture in Thavnair/Radz-at-Han.

The developers and localizers exceeded my expectations.

Here is a guide to the Indian cultural references present in Thavnair:

Is that your laughter
I hear behind my shoulder?

There's no one with me;
quietly, the sky rolls by.

Loneliness disguising itself as independence and self-sufficiency.
#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew The Hermit, a card of isolation and deep introspection.

If your character was to slow down and take a deep look inside of themselves, what would they see?

The last autumn leaves
plucked off a branch by wind,

After five years of almost exclusively roleplaying through duels, the Crystal roleplay community can play Six Degrees of Saya, where any two unrelated roleplayers know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who dueled her.

What's a fun fact about how your WoL/OC Fights? It can be anything.

For me- Taro's Gunbreaker stance emulates a Garlean's because he trained with the Gunblade in the field. Because Marsak didn't have time to teach him basic stances, he fell back to what he already knew!

As I was telling my close friend tonight:

I have a deep and abiding love for all the creativity that comes out of the ffxiv community. It's not skill or technique that I admire, but pure expressions of love.

The sincerity and earnestness are far more endearing to me than sophistication.
