📞Tell me📞, for whom do you fight? 🤔

How very glib, 😑🙄

and do you 🙏believe🙏 in Eorzea? 😏

Eorzeas’ unity is ⚒forged⚒ on 🤦‍♂️falsehoods🚫. Its city-states are 👷‍♂️built👷‍♀️ on deceit🤞, and its faith💒 is an 🎷instrument🥁 of 😈deception. It is naught🎗➰🐺 but a cobweb of lies🕷🕸🙄 - to believe in Eorzea is to believe in 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️nothing☠. In Eorzea, the 🦉🐦beast🐟🐍 tribes often summon Gods 🙏🙏🙏 to fight⚔🔫 in their stead.

Though your ☭comrades☭ only rarely respond in kind 

- which is ❓strange❓, is it not➰? Are the twelve🖐🖐✌ otherwise "engaged"? 💍👰👰 I was given to understand they were your 👼protectors🛡. If you truly believe them your 👌guardians🙏, why do you not 🎼🔁repeat the trick🎃 that served you so well at Carteneau, and call them down? 😏☎️🔇 They will 📞😇answer📞😇, so long as you lavish them with crystals 💎💎💎 and gorge them on aether 💦💦😳🤤. Your Gods are no different from those of the 🐜🐺beasts🐢🍃 - eikons, every one 🤡🤪. Accept but this, and you will see how Eorzeas 🙏faith🤭 is bleeding the land 🍂dry🔥. Nor is this unknown to your 🤴👸masters🤣, which prompts the ❓question❓ - why do they cling to these ❌false🤥 deities? What 🚗drives🚕 even men of 📚learning 

- even the great Louisoix 🎓🎓🎓

to grovel😩 at their feet👣👃😳? The answer? Your masters lack the 💪strength💪 to do otherwise! 🤣👌 For the world of 👤man to mean anything, man must own the world. 👉🌍👈To this end🔚, he hath 🤛fought🤜 ever to raise himself through 🤬conflict😤, to grow rich💰💰💰 through conquest🛡⚔😡. And when the dust of battle settles, it is ever the strong💪😡 who dict🍆ate the fate of the weak😰👋. Knowing this, but a single😘 path is open to the 😖🍆impotent😞🍆 ruler - that of false worship🙏👑🙏. A path which leads to enervation and death 🤡😰⚰. Only a 💪man of power👌 can rightly steer🚘🚦 the course⛳ of 🌆civilization🌁. And in this land of 

cReEpInG mEnDaCiTy, 

that one truth will prove its 👼salvation😇. Cum Come💦, champion of Eorzea, face me! Your defeat shall serve as proof of my readiness to 👑rule👑! It is only right➡️ that I should take your realm, for none among you has the power to stop me! 😎😎😎🤣🏳

Shadowbringers is all about the juxtaposition of Emet-Selch and Feo Ul.

Emet-Selch, a timeless immortal that lives for the past he lost, seeing you and feeling disgust, revulsion, and contempt all for your grand crime of being mortal, seeing you and those you love as not even being truly alive solely because you were not born into his definition of perfect.

Compare him to Feo Ul, a timeless immortal that lives only for happiness in the present, seeing you and instantly falling helplessly in love because you are mortal, full of fleeting passion and ambition that eclipses anything a fae like them could ever achieve all due to your transient ephemeral life; the courage, drive, and hope for the future that only someone with a finite lifespan could ever have.
