Today, I’ve completed the final steps to do something I hadn’t honestly planned on doing – I’ve made Tad my Main in FFXIV!
This is a big deal to me as it’s a huge change for my account, but will not be much of a change here as Tad has always popped up now and then on this blog. Spot of Mummery has always been a slightly multi-muse blog, and this just means Tad’ll probably show up more often since I’ll be playing him as my Main (more on this in a sec).
Just want to stress - this won’t change Amon content as he has never been my Main! I just might post additional Tad content going forward. XD
Refresher – Who is Tad Kouris?
In the Spot of Mummery storyline, Tad is Amon’s younger cousin. Also an Allagan, he chose an opposing path, siding with the Resistance to fight against the Empire. However, part of his personal mission has always been to try and rescue his cousin (kicking and screaming if he had to) from the mess Amon had made of his life.
It was only after the fall of the Empire that Tad discovered he was the WoL for that timeframe. He’s still not really sure what that means (there is no WoL noob handbook), and he struggles with the revelations this has brought to him.
He was sent by the surviving Allagan Princess Salina into the future to ensure that Uni and Doga were able to carry out their mission when the Crystal Tower rose from the earth again, and that Xande would be put to rest for good. However, Tad’s ulterior secret motive was still to save his cousin, Amon.
(Spoilers: He succeeded, and that’s part of how Amon came to live in present day Eorzea!)
What’s the Deal With Tad Becoming “Main”?
This could get long, so I’ve put it under a cut!
