   Summary

   Livia survives the Praetorium instead of Gaius. Some things go differently as a result, some stay very much the same.

   Listen, if you're going to bring back one dead antagonist from 2.0 as a semi-ally and try to give them a redemption arc, why would you pick Gaius "Eorzea is a mess and I just need to rule it" Baelsar? Gaius "my quarters, one hour" Baelsar?

   Nah, we're throwing all that out. The Shadowhunter reveal? It's Livia. Main contact for the Weapon raids? Still Livia. But we're picking up the narrative shortly after MSQ The Ultimate Weapon, and it's a long road from Castrum Meridianum to the Burn.
