FFXIV Releases Short Story "Tales from the Shadows"

FFXIV has released a new short story titled Tales from the Shadows available to read on their official site here.

See below for a snippet.

“In this den of pirates and thieves, those who cast the darkest shadows are wont to wear white. Helps them blend in...disappear into the streetscape. In that sense, I reckon ye were born for this line of work...”

So the man mused indifferently as he grabbed at the small boy’s silver locks. They were not father and son, nor blood relatives of any sort. Just a child who knew no life but that on the streets and a merchant of ill repute who was all too eager to employ the urchin in one shady scheme after the next. Business partners, and nothing more.

It was a different time, back in the days before Admiral Merlwyb forbade piracy and brought a measure of order to Limsa. In that lawless place, a street rat could do worse for allies than a black marketeer of questionable moral fiber.”
