Final Fantasy IX Riddles... Three!?

[Rantz]

I can't risk that, so alright then.

Vagabond and service of ages past
Now long forgotten, save by one;
My apprentice, who gawps at my display!

But two elusive chances I give you
Once for the friend away from home, won
Once from the home of the enemy, taken

Namingway Card?

I imagine my reasons are obvious. If it's incorrect, I'll give them to help further answers.

[Rantz]

Quite right. xD I had especially big trouble seeing whether this one would be hard or easy.

[Quindiana Jones]

I think it would have been hard if I didn't know all things FF9 Namingway related.

I know nothing of the actual Namingway history though, so the first paragraph did almost nothing for me.

[Darth Cid]

So next riddle?

[Quindiana Jones]

You can take it if you want Darth Cid. My memories of FF9 are steadily escaping me, so I'm left pretty much riddleless.

[Darth Cid]

I can't think of anything, my mind's a blank when it comes to riddles, and mine are probably too obvious.

[Quindiana Jones]

Hey, it can't be any easier than Rantzien's. That's some comfort, surely?

PS. Rantz: <3

[Darth Cid]

People do not know of my existence,
For I robe myself in stone.
I can be be brought forth into the world,
But not just anyone can do it.
I have wings that do not fly
And a sword I do not wield.

[I Don't Need A Name]

Alexander

[Darth Cid]

Correct.

[I Don't Need A Name]

Good lord, my FFIX info is probably more rusty than Dave's.
Grieving but celebrating
Playing and crying
but in the end
remembered by absence
and yet holds a large presence.

[Darth Cid]

Vivi

[I Don't Need A Name]

Yep

[Darth Cid]

I'm the 3rd generation in shoes I never got to fill.
