HISTORIANS! A Special Lecture Announcement:

In celebration of my first anniversary on Twitch, I am going to attempt (and likely fail) a 12-hour stream of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017) starting next Sunday at Noon EST.

1/2

We did it! After many, many, MANY deaths and recalibrations by trial and error, we defeated the Cloud of Darkness and finished Final Fantasy III for the Year of the Chocobo Redux.

Come by class on Wednesday when we start Final Fantasy IV.

"Beyond the mists of groves lie the courts of the Fey, alien to those who pass through. Find there @Sn33kyBear, the Lord Ursus, King of the Bears. Though he has abandoned his rule in favor of human joys, do not doubt his majesty. Speak softly, retreat quickly, and show no fear."

FF Fact: FFII was supposed to be the game that introduced us to Moogles, along with the Chocobos. But for some reason, they were replaced with beavers.

Bonus Fact: Mōguri, the transliteration of "moogle", is a portmanteau of the words mogura (土竜, mole) and kōmori (蝙蝠, bat).

"And now this bell, tolling softly for another, says to me 'thou must rest'. Alas... Weep, O Scholar, for @ciel_belfry, cursed eternal to offer refuge from the ghosts of it's forest. They-Who-Chime-the-Hour, Bellringer, Requiem in the Deep and Troubled Darkness of the Night."

"There are few things that more disturb the world than those whose are minds made for metal and wheels. She-of-the-Thousand-Tools, Wrench Shaker, Bearer of the Hundred Toys of Tergo, @GaigeNeumann is not one to be trifled with. Be thankful, O Scholar, that flesh distracts her."

"To what degree to we determine life? Must a woman be made of flesh, sinew, and bone to be among the living? Such is the nature of @irisahiVT, She-Who-Fled-the-Future, Time-Lost Machanus. The past that lies behind her does not yet exist, and indeed, may never come to be."

"The Dream of @hazel2shine is something all Men experience, but few know deeply. She-Who-Walks-the-Sleeping-World, Queen of the Unseen Roads, she can bring aid and comfort, but troublesome beings that cross her must contend with her other face, Nightmare, Terror-in-Darkness."

"At the edge of light, with the dying of the sun, stands @IkiYasumi. She-Who-Flutters-the-Midlight-Horizon, Keeper of Little Lights, Soft Comfort of the Darkling Wood. Long have I known her, O Scholars, but ever at a distance. Come closer and find comfort 'ere we continue on."

"See you now the walking form of the Storm Beyond the Stars, @LietrielTempest, born anew of the wisps of power left behind by beings older than time. His thunder is the scream of night and his passing leaves worlds trembling."
