Dolled Up for the Holidays
Spring has returned to Eorzea, and the motherly Matron has seen fit to
bless the realm with a botanical bounty of precious peach trees. The
city-states, now clad in lovely shades of pink, play host to a bevy of
bewitching beauties of every sort, beside themselves with excitement and
expectancy. Their convivial comportment can mean but one thing─the return of
Little Ladies’ Day, where young maidens across the realm are treated as
princesses for a day.
While this mirthful merriment is matter of course, the Mythril Eye ever
seeks the story beneath the surface, and its sights are now set on the services
of the Goldsmith’s Guild. Customers line the walls of Eshtaime’s Lapidaries
reaching as far as Ruby Road Exchange, but there are no signs of accentuating
accessories for sale. What commodity has caught the townsfolks’ collective
eye?
The answer, dear reader, can be found in this year’s Little Ladies’ Day
contest. In remembrance of Princess Edvya, in whose name the festival was
founded, capable craftsmen the realm over have been called upon to craft dainty
dolls in remembrance of Princess Edyva, the little lady of legend in whose honor
the festival was founded. The dolls will thence be dressed in glorious garb, and
a winner will be chosen by the mirthful maidens of each city-state who will cast
their vote for their favorite of these fetching figurines.
Rich rewards await the most creative craftsman of the contest, and talk of
a fame and fortune is now hot on everyone’s lips. Such is the secret behind the
guild’s recent boom in business, as doll-dressers across the realm seek only the
most magnificent models with which to realize their aesthetic aspirations. To
that end, the goldsmiths of Eshtaime’s Lapidaries now work with a frenetic
fervor, so as to meet recent interest in tantalizing tapestries and beguiling
beadware. Crafting materials virtually vanish from the stands of merchants the
moment they’re put on display.
The stalls of Ruby Road are now stripped of their stock, but I imagine this
poses no threat to an adventurer─a spirited soul that would brave the wilds in
search of supplies and spoils both. Myriad are the ways to partake in this
year’s revelry, and with a little luck, perhaps your entry will be deemed the
most delightful doll of them all.

The Legend of the Lost Lady
Three centuries past, the city-state of Ul’dah was ruled by an iron-fisted
sultan by the name of Baldric Thorne—a man feared across the region for his
quick temper and his even swifter justice. Perhaps as punishment for his
compassionless ways, the Twelve saw fit to bless the sultan with but a single
daughter, Edvya, whom the sultan loved more than the sun and the moons. And it
was this love that drove Baldric to take measures that would ensure no harm ever
befell the princess—including her confinement to the royal palace and the
assignment of a retinue of over fifty handmaidens and seneschals.
As the princess grew older, however, a longing to explore the unknown land
that lay beyond the palace walls tugged at her soul, until one day, in a
devilish display of wit, she switched clothes with a miller girl come to the
palace with her mother to deliver flour to the kitchens. Once Edvya had
exchanged her beautiful gown and tiara for the soiled rags of a commoner, it
proved little trouble to pass unnoticed through her legion of servants and slip
out into the city for a day of wicked fun.
It did not take long for the palace to realize something was afoot, and
upon discovering that his only daughter was missing, the sultan, overcome with
rage, immediately ordered the sultanate’s entire standing army to scour the city
until they had found the princess. As for the royal impostor, thinking that
Edvya may have been kidnapped by the girl’s mother, the sultan ordered the
miller’s house torn apart, her family arrested, tortured, and thrown in the
royal oubliette.
As luck would have it, the princess had not wandered far from the palace,
and was discovered in a nearby market by her father’s men. Once back in the
safety of the palace, Edvya revealed the whole ruse to her father, explaining
that she had conjured it on her own, and begged that he show mercy to the
miller’s family.
Upon realizing that the atrocities committed to the miller girl and her
family were without warrant, he had the family released from the oubliette and
summoned to the royal audience chamber. Here, not only did he personally
apologize to the family and order the royal architects to design and build them
a new home, but, in a move most unexpected, Baldric himself offered to serve as
the daughter’s seneschal for a full day, saying that no young woman, regardless
of her standing, should be denied the respect due all citizens of the sultanate;
that all girls, common or noble, are ‘ladies’ in their own right.
Rumors of this unforeseen display of humility were quick to spread through
Ul’dah and ultimately proved to be extremely well-received amongst the
smallfolk, who, until then, had perceived their leader as little more than a
heartless despot. So well-received were they, in fact, that the sultan declared
one day from each solar year on which he would select, via lots, a common girl
from the city and serve as her personal seneschal, as he had done with the
miller’s daughter. If you want to konw more newest information, skill, guide or
