17	13	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_010	(-Jenomis-)As I mentioned, Ramza does not appear in the legend of Delita's miraculous rise to power. For his part in the tale, we must look to the Durai Papers.
18	14	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_011	(-Jenomis-)My ancestor's account states that Ramza was the youngest son of one Barbaneth Beoulve, the lord of a noble house of high standing. He was the same age as Delita, whom Lord Beoulve took in following the death of his parents. The two boys would have grown up together, side by side. Yet while the legends are strewn with references to Barbaneth's elder sons, his youngest is conspicuously absent.
19	15	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_012	(-Jenomis-)According to the Durai Papers, this is because the Church of Glabados branded Ramza a heretic, and had his name erased from the annals of history.
20	16	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_013	(-Jenomis-)My research has yet to reveal why the church would do such a thing, and why his own blood would seemingly condone the act.
21	17	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_014	(-Jenomis-)For what it is worth, however, the author of the Durai Papers was firmly convinced that Ramza was the true hero of the legend of Ivalice─a true Zodiac Brave.
22	18	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_020	(-Jenomis-)Delita was born into a family of serfs─the Heirals─who tilled land owned by House Beoulve. When Delita's parents succumbed to the Black Death, Ramza's father took the boy and his younger sister Tietra into his home and raised them as he would his own children. It is at this time that I believe Delita and Ramza became friends, growing up as equals unbound by societal constraints of blood and birth.
23	19	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_021	(-Jenomis-)According to legend, Lord Barbaneth was quick to recognize that young Delita's talents extended beyond working the land, and so he used his influence to secure the orphan a place at the Gariland Royal Military Akademy. If the Durai Papers are correct about Ramza's age, it would not be unreasonable to assume that he attended the same institution.
24	20	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_022	(-Jenomis-)The pair would not walk the same path for long, however. Following the untimely death of Tietra─the culmination of a tragic sequence of events set in motion by none other than Ramza himself─Delita cut ties with the house to which he had been bound since birth, and pursued his ambitions alone.
25	21	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_030	(-Jenomis-)Though they are virtually synonymous with Ivalice, little is actually known of the Braves and their origins. Legend has it that Delita, acting at the behest of the Church of Glabados, set out with a company of knights to recover the twelve lost Zodiac Stones. This they duly did, earning themselves the moniker of Zodiac Braves.
26	22	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_031	(-Jenomis-)As you might expect, however, the Durai Papers tell a different story. Orran claims that it was not Delita who led the knights, but Ramza Beoulve.
27	23	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_032	(-Jenomis-)How this discrepancy arose is yet a mystery, but one I fully intend to solve.
28	24	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_040	(-Jenomis-)Legend paints them as holy relics created by the very gods of Ivalice themselves. Instinct and better judgment suggest they are similar to the aether-based crystals of the present day...but exactly <Emphasis>how</Emphasis> similar is something I will require more time to establish.
29	25	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_041	(-Jenomis-)One thing both legend and the Durai Papers agree upon is that auracite had the power to make manifest one's deepest desires─be they fair or foul.
30	26	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_042	(-Jenomis-)This is borne out by the fact that the stones are credited both with destroying Mullonde, city of the gods, and granting Delita the power to bring order to chaos in his kingdom. Auracite, I conclude, is precisely as good or evil as its wielder.
31	27	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_050	(-Jenomis-)Ivalician legend portrays them simply as demons, but I have a theory as to their true nature based on my own observations...and, of course, those of my honored forebear.
32	28	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_051	(-Jenomis-)The Durai Papers tell us that when an auracite is used with malign intent, it warps both body and mind, transforming the wielder at last into...something no longer of this world.
33	29	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_052	(-Jenomis-)These beings... These “others” are, I believe, one and the same as the twisted creatures you faced in Rabanastre.
34	30	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_053	(-Jenomis-)Defeating said monstrosities served to restore the auracite to its original crystalline state─that of the Duma─which, again, is consistent with events described in my ancestor's records.
35	31	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_060	(-Jenomis-)According to legend, Argath Thadalfus─or Algus Sadalfus, depending on which version of the tale your nursemaid told you─was once heir to a high house which had fallen into disrepute through the ignoble conduct of its then lord, Argath's grandsire.
36	32	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_061	(-Jenomis-)Cursing his family's diminished circumstances, the youth turned his ire upon the only souls over whom he still retained any influence: the smallfolk. But Delita, hero of the common man, would not suffer this, and after trying and failing to reason with Argath, put him to the sword.
37	33	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_062	(-Jenomis-)The Durai Papers, however, tell us more. They make mention of an heirloom passed down from generation to generation in House Thadalfus: a priceless jewel known as the Duma.
38	34	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_063	(-Jenomis-)Upon Argath's death at the hands of Delita, the power of the Duma─which the young Thadalfus carried upon his person─was unlocked, and the Lucavi bound to it released. The stone duly gave form to Argath's fury, reanimating his body, and granting him the strength to exact revenge upon the one who ended his life.
39	35	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_064	(-Jenomis-)Yet who should spare Delita that fate but Ramza, who battled the vengeful corpse unbeknownst to his childhood friend, and finally brought peace to Argath's soul...though we know better.
40	36	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_065	(-Jenomis-)Now you may ask why Ramza would lend his blade to the selfsame man who forsook his ties to House Beoulve. The reason lies in poor Ramza's own involvement in the murder of Delita's sister. It was Argath who fired the bolt that struck Tietra down, aye...but it was Ramza's earlier rescue of Argath that paved the way for the tragedy to follow.
41	37	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_066	(-Jenomis-)Though Argath was dead, and Tietra avenged, Delita's bitterness endured and festered, and it was not long before he began to blame Ramza. Ramza, for his part, understood all too well the turmoil in his grieving friend's heart, and therefore chose, out of respect, to maintain his distance.
42	38	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_067	(-Jenomis-)So, the question before us remains how and why a man twice consigned to the grave could rise again to wreak chaos...and in Rabanastre of all places.
43	39	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_068	(-Jenomis-)Did unscattered remnants of Argath's undying rage trigger a second reaction in the Duma, calling the Lucavi once more to our realm? Or was it something else? Something more...sinister?

53	49	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_100	(-The Wandering Dramaturge-)Jenomis had been at the Magitek Academy for but a handful of summers when he founded his own theater troupe, and it was but a handful more before his plays began attracting recognition in various influential literary circles.
54	50	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_00491_ALLAGAN_000_101	(-The Wandering Dramaturge-)Although Jenomis is not a prolific writer, what he lacks in quantity he makes up tenfold in quality. The public especially adored the few pieces he both produced and starred in. So popular were his troupe's productions that admirers would have to book their seats a year or more in advance.

105	101	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_ALLAGAN_000_115	(-Jenomis-)The presence of such a fissure would have made rebuilding impossible, forcing the people of Goug to renounce their ancestral home and depart in search of another.

107	103	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_ALLAGAN_000_120	(-Jenomis-)As to its origins in mythology, your guess is as good as mine. However, it seems safe to assume that the creature you encountered─most certainly a Lucavi─was a construct of the Duma, born both of Ba'Gamnan's self-loathing and his desire for revenge.
108	104	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_ALLAGAN_000_121	(-Jenomis-)Before the fall of Nalbina Fortress, Ba'Gamnan was a fusilier captain charged with protecting the crown prince and princess. When the royal twins perished, the proud Bangaa blamed himself for their deaths.
109	105	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_ALLAGAN_000_122	(-Jenomis-)You said that when you confronted him on Ridorana, he believed you to be imperial soldiers. I suspect this was a manifestation of Ba'Gamnan's fears projected upon those nearby him by the Duma in an attempt to send the Bangaa into a rage, making him more amenable to transformation─a ruse which ultimately succeeded.
110	106	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_ALLAGAN_000_123	(-Jenomis-)While much of this coincides with what befell Argath in the ruins of Lesalia, there is one important thing we have learned from our second bout with the Lucavi: that no obvious correlation appears to exist 'twixt the auracite catalyst and the resulting beast.
111	107	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_ALLAGAN_000_124	(-Jenomis-)This would imply that it is the subject that determines which Lucavi manifests, and that the Duma merely facilitates the process. What we cannot be certain of, however, is if the subject must ultimately make the transformation of its own volition. We know Ba'Gamnan desired the Duma's power to see revenge exacted...but did he foresee the relinquishing of both body and mind to achieve this end?

The coughing fits came quickly and without warning, sapping her of vigor, and leaving her a pale reflection of the woman she once was. With her last breath, she bade me see that our children never came to harm...a duty I fear I have neglected of late.

121	117	TEXT_REGHINALLAGANSTORAGESYSTEM_00491_ALLAGAN_000_154	(-Jenomis-)It was in one of Rabanastre's labyrinthine markets that I purchased the necklace. An imperial chapman was peddling what he claimed were local treasures, though I did not press him on how he came by the piece. It was not even particularly expensive.
