Well... close enough. The answer I wanted was "the merging of Gaia and Terra". I think the reasoning should be pretty easy to get now, but ask if you want something explained.
Now, show us the brilliant riddle![]()

Hm. I would've guessed that earlier, had I thought better. I wanna hear your reasons.![]()
Lol, fine then ^^
I am seen,
You see the event happening when in Oeilvert,
but I only exist
in dreams of darkness
and beams of light.
but it never really happens, except for in Garland's (darkness, both by his looks and his mind) wishing dreams and in the projection in Oeilvert.
In duality I am not
As long as Terra and Gaia are separated (duality), the event does not happen. When it happens, unity has taken duality's place.
I shine with purple as I am.
You were on the right lines with your first guess
This refers to the blending of red (Gaia) and blue (Terra) being purple. As I said, only a personal assumption based on one type of logic.![]()
Mmmmm...that was delicious. Though I wish I hadguessedfigured out the answer later because I'm still tweakinbg with my riddle. Grar.
EDIT: If anyone has a riddle now that they want to post, go ahead.

You sneaky bastard.
I call the riddle!
will post one tomorrow morning![]()
I'll figure it out later...
Awesome![]()
In the greatest of kingdoms,
With work, I reside,
To help out the royalty,
With their work and their pride.
I'm not on the outside,
As my work is within,
My name is the top,
Of the others aboard.
I'll figure it out later...
In the greatest of kingdoms,
The greatest of kingdoms on the Mist continent is Alexandria or Lindblum - not sure if it's ever foretold which?
It could also be symbolic, in which case it's harder to tell what it is.
With work, I reside,
With work - either as it sounds, or with the word "work".
To reside can be either to live with or to exist with. Those are the only meanings I can think of right now.
To help out the royalty,
My bet would be that this is not as easy as the royalty in-game, but rather like you did in your FFVIII riddle, where "royalty" referred to Solomon, a real life ruler/royalty.
To help out is probably what it sounds like.
With their work and their pride.
The word "their" suggests that the royalty spoken of is not just one, so maybe it is in-game royalty after all.
"work and pride", well, I guess it's sort of what it sounds like.
I'm not on the outside,
As my work is within,
Works inside a castle, house or just in a closed group? Hard to tell.
My name is the top,
Of the others aboard.
This seems like word play or some sort of visual guide.
I'll guess Blutzen, mostly just to make a guess. He is the topmost Pluto knight on the list apart from Steiner (Steiner would be too obvious).
The rest of the reasons for that guess are self-explanatory with that reasoning above.

One of the words in the second verse gives you a clue to what 'career' I'm on about in the riddle. Look carefully for it, but as I said the rest is normal and straight forward.
I'll figure it out later...
So it's someone/thing in Lindblum, as that is easily the largest city.
I get the feeling of Erin the Sky Captain, or Hilda. I'll go with Hilda for now, as I can think of a good explanation for her.
no sorry, you're best saying your explanation with the answer so I can tell you where you've gone wrong
I'll figure it out later...
Alright. I'll explain it now anyway. I couldn't be bothered before
In the greatest of kingdoms, - Hilda's a Lindblum lass.
With work, I reside, - She lives with Cid, who is always working.
To help out the royalty,
With their work and their pride. - - Either helping literally in his work, or just being there when he comes home. Also Cid could say "I have a wife" and be full of pride.
I'm not on the outside,
As my work is within, - Being with the Regent, she would probably stay mostly inside the Grand Castle.
My name is the top,
Of the others aboard. Finally, you have the Hilda Garde airship. "Hilda" would most likely be written on it, above the crewmen.
The work is referring to actual work the character has, not for anyone else they're related or associated with.Originally Posted by Pure Quin14
I'll figure it out later...
I still reckon it has summat to do with Lindblum and airships, so I'll go for Engineer Zebolt.
In the greatest of kingdoms, - In Lindblum again.
With work, I reside, - Whenever you go and see him, he's at the airship place.
To help out the royalty,
With their work and their pride. - He helps Cid with airship business. Airships are the Regent's work, and are the pride of Lindblum.
I'm not on the outside,
As my work is within, - He doesn't fly a ship, he just engineers them.
My name is the top,
Of the others aboard. - I guess he would be higher and more important than the crew of the ship, as it wouldn't exist without him.
I'm actually starting to think the Kingdom could be Alexandria, as a Regent isn't really royalty....
