“Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Popotoes kept balance between the Miqo’te Tribes, Midlander Kingdom, Tall-Only Nation, and Air Lalas. But that all changed when the Tall-Only Nation attacked. Only the Popoto mastered all four elements. Only she could stop the ruthless tallbenders. But when the world needed her most, she vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Tall-Only Nation is nearing victory in the War. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Midlander Kingdom to help fight against the Tall-Only Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe. Some time after that, my brother and I discovered the new Popoto, an airlala named [insert your name here]. And although their lalabending skills are great, they have a lot to learn before they’re ready to save anyone. But I believe [insert your name here] can save the world.”

Memes aside, this is my first intentional mod ever. I think it looks like crap without the glow, but others thought different. So I put in some time, learned how to make it glow in game. You will 100% need Atramentum Luminis (https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/68013) to make the glow work in game, but it’s as easy as insert both mods into your Penumbra. (Textool users, as soon as I learn how to make this mod in textools, I’ll provide a ttmp2 file. Until then, you could try out Penumbra if you realllllly want this.)

Major thanks to the person who created the Master Tattoo Rig, the person who made the FFXIV Loose File Compiler, every single Blender video on YouTube, and to everyone in the vast amount of discords who helped me make this mod possible.

I hope you enjoy it.
