10TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_010I am Raya\x02\x1f\x01\x03O\x02\x1f\x01\x03Senna. A Padjal of Gridania, as you might discern from the horns on my head.
21TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_011My name may be unfamiliar to you, but doubtless you know of my sister. That would be Kan\x02\x1f\x01\x03E\x02\x1f\x01\x03Senna, Elder Seedseer of Gridania and supreme commander of the Order of the Twin Adder.
32TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_012Together, we are known as the three Seedseers\xe2\x94\x80my sister, myself, and our younger brother, A\x02\x1f\x01\x03Ruhn\x02\x1f\x01\x03Senna.
43TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_013Among my myriad titles, I am proud to call myself a practitioner of white magic, which is the art of healing.
54TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_014This is an art for which we have no small need. The Twelveswood has been made to suffer unspeakable pains: from the Calamity, to unending conflicts with the beast tribes, to exploitation at the hands of our own people... It is my duty\xe2\x94\x80my calling\xe2\x94\x80to provide succor, and I do it gladly.
65TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_000You wear an inquisitive expression, friend. Surely, this is not your first time seeing a Padjal?
76TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_Q1_000_001What will you ask?
87TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_A1_000_001Tell me about yourself.
98TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_A1_000_002What is white magic?
109TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_A1_000_003Nothing.
1110TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_020What is white magic, indeed? I often ask myself the selfsame question. I will tell you what I know, that you might come to an answer of your own.
1211TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_021The art now known as white magic dates back to the Fifth Astral Era. It was then that a brilliant young sorceress\xe2\x94\x80for the first time in history\xe2\x94\x80succeeded in channeling not merely her own life energy, but the aether that inhabits the very land itself.
1312TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_022Her magic was that of destruction: black magic. The people of Amdapor felt this power was too great to be allowed to go unchecked, and so it was that white magic\xe2\x94\x80the magic of healing and solace\xe2\x94\x80was born.
1413TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_023So it was that the forces of magic were brought into equilibrium, and civilization flourished. But this era of peace and prosperity would prove short-lived. War broke out, and the realm was thrown into chaos.
1514TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_024The War of the Magi. To rain death and destruction on their foes, mages summoned forth greater and greater powers. The war raged on, until the aether dried, and the land itself could bear the burden no longer.
1615TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_025So did the hubris of magi bring forth the Sixth Umbral Era...and with it a mighty flood that swept away entire civilizations, leaving naught but ruin and suffering in its wake.
1716TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_026The survivors\xe2\x94\x80what few there were\xe2\x94\x80banded together. Vowing never again to repeat their mistake, white and black magic were declared forbidden arts, never to be practiced again.
1817TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_027The elementals of the forest, knowing that men could not be trusted to keep such vows, took action as well. The Twelveswood grew, swallowing the ruins of Amdapor, and the power of white magic was sealed away deep in the forest, far from the reach of mortals.
1918TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_028Ages passed, until five centuries ago, the elementals at long last welcomed people back into the forest. So the nation of Gridania was founded, and my people\xe2\x94\x80the Padjal\xe2\x94\x80came into being, to serve as mediators between elementals and those who would reside in their forest home.\x02\x10\x01\x03It is from the elementals themselves that we inherited white magic.
2019TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_090Well met, old friend. How goes the letter carrying?
2120TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_100Well, if it isn't the realm's most accomplished letter carrier without a pom! You'll be pleased to know that the delivery moogle ranks have swelled with young ones eager to follow in your footsteps.

2423TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_070Ever does it hearten me to see your face, \x02,\r\xff\x07\x02)\x03\xeb\x02\x03\xff\x02 \x02\x03. What brings you to the Twelveswood today?
2524TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_075I am glad that we were able to find Y'shtola. If truth be told, it is a miracle that she survived after being adrift in the Lifestream, and for so long.
2625TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_150The preservation of the Twelveswood hinges upon your successful purging of the taint. Yet again, my brother and I place a great burden upon you, but there is none other to whom we might turn.
2726TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_160So, A\x02\x1f\x01\x03Ruhn has taken a step towards self-betterment. Well, as his elder, I cannot allow myself to be outdone. You may hold me to these words, \x02,\r\xff\x07\x02)\x03\xeb\x02\x03\xff\x02 \x02\x03!

2928TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_166Which leaves the matter of the taint. The preservation of the Twelveswood hinges upon your successful purging of it. Yet again, my brother and I place a great burden upon you, but there is none other to whom we might turn.

3130TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_168And thanks to you and Eschiva, the taint threatens the Twelveswood no more, and A\x02\x1f\x01\x03Ruhn has taken a step towards self-betterment.

3332TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_A2_000_001How do you fare of late?
3433TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_A2_000_002What is white magic?
3534TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_A2_000_003Nothing.
3635TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_091I remain hearty and hale, thank you for asking, but I fear the deputy postmoogle suffers still. <sigh> The sweet, poor wretch... Naught has come of A\x02\x1f\x01\x03Ruhn's search for physick as yet, though he has uncovered many a cure for boils, and a remarkable worm unknown to science.
3736TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_092As for moogles to follow in your footsteps as assistant letter carriers, we have a goodly crop to serve within the Twelveswood. They are not adventurous creatures by nature, however, and...selective in their participation. Thus far, none will venture outside the forest.
3837TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_101I'm pleased to say that your exploits have proven to be quite an inspiration to delivery moogles everywhere. They are showing more confidence and passion for the art of letter carrying than ever before.
3938TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_102The deputy postmoogle, as well, has returned to duty in a limited capacity, though I fear it will be some time still before his wounds are fully healed. We may indeed have to call upon your aid once more.
4039TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_031The great one's rage has subsided, and peace returns to the forest. This is the Twelveswood as it was so long ago, and as it ever should be.
4140TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_032And yet, for as long as we live here under the elementals' auspices, we must keep our ears and hearts open to the whisperings of the trees. Incur their ire, and our lives are as good as forfeit.
4241TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_051Kuplo Kopp has found a measure of peace since you deposed Good King Moggle Mog XII\xe2\x94\x80may his royal furballness never again rise from the aether.
4342TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_052My sister continues to search for the Ascians that made possible the Good King's summoning, but to no avail. No, the secrets of the forest are not so easily solved...
4443TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_071Considering the Amdapori horrors that were but recently in our midst, I would say that we fare rather well. The forest once again knows serenity, and we have \x02\x1a\x02\x02\x03you\x02\x1a\x02\x01\x03 to thank for this, \x02,\r\xff\x07\x02)\x03\xeb\x02\x03\xff\x02 \x02\x03.

4645TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_250A\x02\x1f\x01\x03Ruhn continues communing with the great one, but there has been no change. As before, he keeps warning us of the taint.

4847TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_260As you know, Eschiva is journeying with A\x02\x1f\x01\x03Ruhn. For the present, all is at peace, and they are keeping to the Twelveswood.
4948TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_261But if a threat should arise outside the forest, they will not hesitate to go and confront it. I have the highest of hopes for the two of them.
5049TEXT_JOBDEFWHM_00095_RAYAOSENNA_000_262As for myself, I have gone to meet Alaqa. Though she still has a ways to go ere she is ready to face the world again, she is beginning to open up to me. For my part, I shall continue reaching out to her.
