Zemoweni is a character in Final Fantasy XIV. He is a newcomer to Tuliyollal and an employee of Xbalyav Ty'e. Zemoweni appears during the Wachumeqimeqi Quests.
History[]
Zemoweni visiting Pameka's workshop.
After arriving in Tuliyollal from a Tonawawta tribe on the eastern borders of Xak Tural, Zemoweni started working as a waiter at Xbalyav Ty'e. He was fascinated by the stories told by the restaurant's patrons and wanted to write them down. Because Zemoweni's people pass on their traditions through the spoken word, he doesn't know how to read or write. Zemoweni therefore asked Pameka, a scribe of Wachumeqimeqi, to write the tomes for him while he himself was studying the practice of reading.[1]
Zemoweni made several visits to Pameka's workshop, each time telling different stories that he had heard. The stories were about a folk tale about the arrival of the Hanuhanu in Tural,[2] the story of a young Pelupelu named Cibli and his discovery of mate tea leaves,[3] and the story of Movalpolos, the submerged city of the Moblins in times past, as well as the origin of the Moblins' respect for pottery.[4]
When Zemoweni paid another visit to the workshop, he discovered that Pameka had written a tome about her ancestors, and Pameka invited Zemoweni to read it. On this visit Zemoweni told the story of a young Doppro who, against all odds, tamed a winged beast and flew off into the sunny skies. After the book was finished, Zemoweni expressed concern that his people didn't have a single written record due to oral tradition, and feared that their entire culture would be lost over time.[5]
Zemoweni reading about his people.
Pameka was worried about Zemoweni and suggested they visit his workplace. At Xbalyav Ty'e, Zemoweni admitted his intention to commission a book of short stories about his homeland. His dilemma, however, stemmed from the fact that a written work may not adequately represent a Tonawawta village that adhered to an oral tradition. Recalling the power of illustration, Pameka proposed that the next book should be one that incorporated different media to fully tell the story it contained. With Xak Tural's Zemoweni materials in hand, Pameka and Warrior of Light created a binding worthy of the stories of the people of Zemoweni. Once finished, Zemoweni invited the two to join him in the next storytelling session at Xbalyav Ty'e. At Xbalyav Ty'e, Zemoweni drew the attention of the crowd and began to read the book about his people. The customers welcomed the story with applause.[6]
