   Summary

   Retainers are the least-appreciated NPCs in FFXIV. We give them form, personalities, even their very identities. They bring us all sorts of things and support our rock"n"roll lifestyles by being our agents in the marketplace, but we usually just grumble when they bring us back junk (like single elemental crystals!) They deserve better, starting with recognition for all of their hard work!

   This is a collection of stories about life as a retainer in Eorzea. I can"t promise anything like regular updates, but I have a lot of ideas brewing and these fools are living rent-free in my head right now.
