Kobolds and Limsans are locked in a feud born of betrayal, greed, and enmity. But, when we ally with the Maelstrom against another mundane strike in this endless conflict, we encounter a kobold order that is too pathetic to hate. In taking pity on this odd bunch, we become embroiled in an internal conflict that threatens to upend kobold society as we know it... right after this nap. Join us as we navigate the Kobold tribe quests in Final Fantasy XIV.

Join us as we tackle the A Recurring Problem questline and face down the classic Final Fantasy 14 Primals, but in hard mode!

We conclude our white magic series with two visits to Amdapor Keep. This stronghold was Amdapor's first line of defense against foreign aggression, and the first to fall. We are not the first to set foot in this place since its decline though. That honor goes to the Lambs of Dalamud. In this episode, we mount an expedition to force out these intruders. Then, we return to the keep in hard mode to deal with a new host of problems! Join us as we keep it real in this pair of Final Fantasy XIV dungeons!
