17,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_120","Since its inception during Jenomis's Academy days, the Majestic Theater Company has been busily producing and performing some of the Empire's most memorable works."

21,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_141","Whenever the kingdom was threatened, be it by tyranny, evil forces, or realm-wide disaster, twelve blessed heroes would emerge to bring light back to Ivalice. Those twelve were known as the Zodiac Braves."
22,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_142","Each era had its own Zodiac Braves─Müllenkamp the star seer, Saint Ajora, the assassin Ashley. I can list at least five others, but by far the most popular has always been King Delita."
23,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_143","Following the death of its king, Ivalice's long-standing Atkascha dynasty finds itself without an heir.

25,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_145","There has been much debate as to whether or not the legend is based on actual historical events or merely fiction, but most scholars agree that there is simply too little evidence to substantiate claims of Ivalice's existence."

27,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_147","Even some of the more recent renderings of the legend feature dramatic deviations, the most notable being that Delita was assassinated before even taking the throne, instead of becoming king after his marriage to Princess Ovelia Atkascha."
28,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_148","But that has always been the trouble with bards and minstrels. You can't trust a single one of them not to change the story here or there for the sake of a rhyme."
29,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_149","And so here we are, left in the dark without a light to ponder a mystery only the gods know."

33,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_163","The musical is divided into five acts, the first three focusing on Delita's service to the Church of Glabados, his first encounter with Princess Ovelia Atkascha, and his subsequent oath to see her become queen."
34,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_164","The final two acts move to the War of the Lions, culminating in Delita's betrothal to the princess, and their tragic end."

36,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_180","The Dalmasca Desert is a vast wasteland situated in the southern reaches of central Othard, sharing an eastern border with Nagxia. So large is the desert that it is divided into two regions, the Estersands and the Westersands."
37,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_181","Thirty years ago, the kingdom of Dalmasca was invaded by the Garlean Empire. When the king and his council refused to pledge fealty to the Empire, war erupted, resulting in the end of the royal B'nargin line."
38,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_182","For a thousand years, Dalmasca had maintained its independence, only to see it crumble in a matter of moons before the might of Solus zos Galvus's metal-clad legions. Even the Royal City of Rabanastre─the fabled Desert Sapphire─was not spared."
39,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_183","Emboldened by the uprisings in Doma and Ala Mhigo, resistance groups within Dalmasca have attempted coups of their own, yet all have been silenced─the Empire always seeming to know exactly when and where the insurgencies would begin."
40,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_184","When I was a boy, I accompanied my father on one of his caravans to Rabanastre, and consider myself fortunate to have seen the Royal City before its fall. The sight of its minarets bathed in the gold of sunset is something I will never forget."
41,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_200","Who am I? A simple question with a not-so-simple answer. I can begin by telling you who I am not: namely, a member of the Majestic Theater Company."
42,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_201","I am a playwright like Principal Lexentale, but unlike him, I have chosen to remain independent.

You see, I too share many of the ideals that have fallen out of favor in the imperial court."
43,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_202","As for who is the better writer...well, it is not for me to say. I will, however, admit to being a considerably <Emphasis>slower</Emphasis> writer, as my publishers will all too readily attest. To make matters worse, I have also developed a passion for cookery of late, and spend a great deal of my time here assisting the galley staff in exchange for my passage on the <Emphasis>Prima Vista</Emphasis>. Perhaps a change of profession is in order..."
44,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_220","The minstrel? With the disheveled hair? As strange a fish as any I've seen...and I have seen plenty on my travels."
45,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_221","Most bards simply retell the tales of high adventure, adding a twang of the lute here and a toot of the fife there for flavor. But the wandering minstrel is different. He seems more inclined to challenge his audience than entertain them."
46,"TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_222","One might say he is a god creating worlds for his children to play in. Or not. A god would never be caught wearing those spectacles. Still, there is much a playwright like myself might learn from such a fellow..."

20 16 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_104 He will create something so perfect that even his greatest detractor will be forced to acknowledge its genius. Critics applaud Jenomis for his cunning, but I know it to be merely a by-product of his inherent stubbornness. Jenomis simply cannot─will not─settle for anything less than the best.
21 17 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_120 Since its inception during Jenomis's Academy days, the Majestic Theater Company has been busily producing and performing some of the Empire's most memorable works.
22 18 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_121 From tragedies to comedies, classics to modern adaptations, monodrama to musicals, there was nothing the Majestic couldn't do─and do brilliantly.
23 19 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_122 At the time of <Emphasis>The Zodiac Brave Story</Emphasis>'s debut, the theater was home to over five score performers and stagehands, all living here on the <Emphasis>Prima Vista</Emphasis>. Now... Well, you can see where we stand.
24 20 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_140 The Zodiac Brave Story is a tale as old as time.
25 21 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_141 Whenever the kingdom was threatened, be it by tyranny, evil forces, or realm-wide disaster, twelve blessed heroes would emerge to bring light back to Ivalice. Those twelve were known as the Zodiac Braves.
26 22 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_142 Each era had its own Zodiac Braves─Müllenkamp the star seer, Saint Ajora, the assassin Ashley. I can list at least five others, but by far the most popular has always been King Delita.
27 23 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_143 Following the death of its king, Ivalice's long-standing Atkascha dynasty finds itself without an heir. In an attempt to claim the throne, the Order of the Northern Sky under the banner of the White Lion and the Order of the Southern Sky under the Black Lion wage war, resulting in the death of thousands and a veritable stalemate.
28 24 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_144 When all of Ivalice was at war with itself, he and eleven of his most trusted companions set out to bring order to the realm. Though not of noble birth, Delita would ultimately unite the land as regent, and the twelve become known as that era's Zodiac Braves.
29 25 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_145 There has been much debate as to whether or not the legend is based on actual historical events or merely fiction, but most scholars agree that there is simply too little evidence to substantiate claims of Ivalice's existence.
30 26 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_146 There are no ruins, there are no relics. And the stories we are left with...well, they are just that─stories. What's worse, there are so many of them, each with its own peculiarities, that only the most basic elements actually line up.
31 27 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_147 Even some of the more recent renderings of the legend feature dramatic deviations, the most notable being that Delita was assassinated before even taking the throne, instead of becoming king after his marriage to Princess Ovelia Atkascha.
32 28 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_148 But that has always been the trouble with bards and minstrels. You can't trust a single one of them not to change the story here or there for the sake of a rhyme.
33 29 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_149 And so here we are, left in the dark without a light to ponder a mystery only the gods know.
34 30 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_160 Unsurprisingly there are many plays which attempt a telling of the Zodiac Brave Story, but none have been as well received as the Majestic's rendition.
35 31 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_161 When Jenomis told me he was considering his own retelling of the legend, I was not remotely surprised. When he subsequently revealed his intention to make it a musical, however, I nearly spat out my mead.
36 32 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_162 Not content simply to write the play, he composed the music, penned the lyrics, and even saw to the damned <Emphasis>choreography</Emphasis>. I had never seen anything like it. With the completion of <Emphasis>The Zodiac Brave Story</Emphasis>, he proved his genius once and for all.
37 33 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_163 The musical is divided into five acts, the first three focusing on Delita's service to the Church of Glabados, his first encounter with Princess Ovelia Atkascha, and his subsequent oath to see her become queen.
38 34 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_164 The final two acts move to the War of the Lions, culminating in Delita's betrothal to the princess, and their tragic end.
39 35 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_165 The ensemble scene in which Delita, lost in his web of lies, reveals the truth of his plans to the gods on one side of the stage, while on the other, Princess Ovelia swears to the selfsame gods that she will put the past behind her... <Emphasis>Genius.</Emphasis> A masterpiece of modern theater.
40 36 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_180 The Dalmasca Desert is a vast wasteland situated in the southern reaches of central Othard, sharing an eastern border with Nagxia. So large is the desert that it is divided into two regions, the Estersands and the Westersands.
41 37 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_181 Thirty years ago, the kingdom of Dalmasca was invaded by the Garlean Empire. When the king and his council refused to pledge fealty to the Empire, war erupted, resulting in the end of the royal B'nargin line.
42 38 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_182 For a thousand years, Dalmasca had maintained its independence, only to see it crumble in a matter of moons before the might of Solus zos Galvus's metal-clad legions. Even the Royal City of Rabanastre─the fabled Desert Sapphire─was not spared.
43 39 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_183 Emboldened by the uprisings in Doma and Ala Mhigo, resistance groups within Dalmasca have attempted coups of their own, yet all have been silenced─the Empire always seeming to know exactly when and where the insurgencies would begin.
44 40 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_184 When I was a boy, I accompanied my father on one of his caravans to Rabanastre, and consider myself fortunate to have seen the Royal City before its fall. The sight of its minarets bathed in the gold of sunset is something I will never forget.
45 41 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_200 Who am I? A simple question with a not-so-simple answer. I can begin by telling you who I am not: namely, a member of the Majestic Theater Company.
46 42 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_201 I am a playwright like Principal Lexentale, but unlike him, I have chosen to remain independent. Jenomis is an old friend, and when I heard he would be making the journey east, I asked if I could join him. You see, I too share many of the ideals that have fallen out of favor in the imperial court.
47 43 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_202 As for who is the better writer...well, it is not for me to say. I will, however, admit to being a considerably <Emphasis>slower</Emphasis> writer, as my publishers will all too readily attest. To make matters worse, I have also developed a passion for cookery of late, and spend a great deal of my time here assisting the galley staff in exchange for my passage on the <Emphasis>Prima Vista</Emphasis>. Perhaps a change of profession is in order...
48 44 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_220 The minstrel? With the disheveled hair? As strange a fish as any I've seen...and I have seen plenty on my travels.
49 45 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_221 Most bards simply retell the tales of high adventure, adding a twang of the lute here and a toot of the fife there for flavor. But the wandering minstrel is different. He seems more inclined to challenge his audience than entertain them.
50 46 TEXT_REGHIN3WANDERINGWRITER_00435_WANDERINGWRITER_000_222 One might say he is a god creating worlds for his children to play in. Or not. A god would never be caught wearing those spectacles. Still, there is much a playwright like myself might learn from such a fellow...
