Good King Moggle Mog is the legendary king of all moogles. According to myth, when the moogles traveled to Eorzea from the realm of the gods, Moggle Mog was the one to hold a long rope for them to climb down from the heavens, as the journey was too far for them to fly. When all other moogles had descended, the king had to remain behind, as there was no way for him to lower himself. For his hand in their liberation the moogles abstained from naming a successor to the throne, and eventually discovered a summoning ritual to call him to the surface at last.
