Crystal Caravan (Final Fantasy XIV)

The Crystal Caravan is a traveling puppet troupe in Final Fantasy XIV. They appeared during seasonal event The Rising in 2016.
==History==
The Warrior of Light has met the Crystal Caravan Leader in Ul'dah. The troupe plans to mark the anniversary of the rebirth of the realm by performing a play depicting Calamity, but the actor assigned to the role of the Warrior of Light would like more information to bring his role to life. In addition, the script the troupe has received is proving to be of little use in determining the best course of action. Wanting to present the most entertaining show possible, the troupe asks Warrior of Light to help the actor learn more about Calamity and improve his performance.
Returning to Ul'dah, The Crystal Caravan leader thanks them for their help. The rest of the troupe shows up with some grave news: the lead actor has been injured and cannot take the stage. Disheartened that they may miss an opportunity to perform, the troupe is about to give up when their leader is struck with a brilliant idea. She suggests that Warrior of Light take the stage in place of the injured actor. 
The stage was set and the Crystal Caravan put their expectations on Warrior of Light. After the performance was a success, the leader of the Crystal Caravan praised the performance. As the troupe leader tells it, the playwright himself was in the audience. To the surprise of the Warrior of Light, the author of the play reveals himself to be none other than the Wandering Minstrel. He expresses his deepest gratitude for bringing his script to life and bids you a heartfelt and encouraging farewell. The leader of the Crystal Caravan was probably curious to hear what the bard had to say.
The troupe leader is accompanied by his lead actor, who also thanks. Although he has heard much about the performance, unfortunately he was unable to attend due to his injuries. He makes a heartfelt plea for the Warrior of Light to return to the stage, so that you can inspire not only him, but all those who might be lucky enough to see him perform again.
==Behind the scenes==
The Japanese name of the troupe is "Jidoor" , which may be named after the town of the same name in Final Fantasy VI. In English the name was localized as "Crystal Caravan" which may have been named after the groups of adventurers in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.
