Adventurer Appreciation Campaign

Even the heads of state agree that the safety of our nations, the security of our cities, and the peaceful lives of our citizens are all made possible through the tireless efforts of Vana'diel's adventurers. And now those same adventurers have taken the battle against evil and chaos to the lands of the Near East. It will only be a matter of time before the nation of Aht Urhgan also comes to appreciate their invaluable contributions... It is time for adventurers to reap the rewards of their service! Once again, the nations of San d'Oria, Bastok, and Windurst will become the stage for the "Adventurer Appreciation Campaign." During the planned events, adventurers will receive gifts of gratitude from the townspeople and hear detailed reports of their conquests in battle (based on data secretly collected by the M.H.M.U.). Behind this display of appreciation, perhaps there is a desire to stem the tide of adventurers leaving for Near Eastern shores... In any case, the citizens of Vana'diel have the following message for their beloved heroes: "Adventurers great and small, you have our heartfelt gratitude! Your dedication and courage have made Vana'diel the wonderful place it is today!"
