The The footfalls of today echo in the legacies of tomorrow was the 2022 edition of the seasonal event The Rising in Final Fantasy XIV.
The event was started by accepting the Newfound Journey sidequest by talking to Wandering Minstrel in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X:10.1 Y:8.4).
History[]
Nhagi'a Jakkya arriving in Ul'dah.
The Warrior of Light met the Wandering Minstrel at the Ruby Road Exchange during the Rising. The minstrel asked the Warrior of Light to help an inexperienced novice adventurer. The Warrior of Light waited at the Gate of Nald and soon a carriage arrived in the city-state with Nhagi'a Jakkya, an aspiring adventurer. The Warrior of Light greeted him and instructed him to register with the Adventurers' Guild.
Nhagi'a Jakkya and Momodi in Adventurers' Guild.
After Momodi Modi registered Nhagi'a Jakkya, she asked the Warrior of Light to introduce the city-state and recommend a guild in Ul'dah for Nhagi'a Jakkya to join. Upon hearing the Warrior of Light's advice, Nhagi'a chose to enroll in either the Pugilists' Guild or the Alchemists' Guild. He runs to one of the guilds, but not before asking to meet again later. When the boy does not return after a long time, the Warrior of Light decides to look for him in the guild. After the Warrior of Light finds Nhagi'a at the guild, he apologizes for keeping him waiting and informs him that a peculiar minstrel has approached him with a task. Interestingly, the Warrior of Light's presence was also requested.
Upon meeting with the wandering minstrel, he revealed that in seeking inspiration for his next composition, he planned to bring together the Warrior of Light and Nhagi'a, an old adventurer and a new adventurer, in a reminder that the present owes its existence to the past. Having thus established his vision, the minstrel then asks each to bring an object related to the Calamity. Excited about his first task as an adventurer, Nhagi'a suggests searching the Sapphire Avenue Exchange.
After they return, Nhagi'a reveals that the object he has chosen is the scrapbook of articles taken from The Raven, the Gridanian tabloid where his sister works as a reporter. During the Calamity, said sister traveled the realm, interviewing adventurers about their journeys, and her tales instilled in him a desire to see the world. After seeing the objects they each chose, the minstrel was inspired to compose a verse. After hearing the verse, Nhagi'a said goodbye and said he had found the courage to go his own way.[2]
Song[]
Your life is a riddle, to bear gladness and grief,
'Neath stars and through storms, the answers to seek.♪
Your footprints are threads, to be gathered and woven,
A song of dawn resplendent, dancing high to heavens.♪
From the embrace of the gods though mankind has been torn,
Upon winds eternal lives and memories are borne.♪
The future is unwritten, bring it rapture or sorrow,
Our journey shall continue, unto tomorrow and tomorrow.♪
