===Lore===
a [[Hearers|Hearer]] of the [[Conjurer's Guild]], Zhai'a crossed paths with the [[Warrior of Light]] while searching for [[Waldeve]], the leader of The Defiant, a cult of [[Black Mage|Black Mages]] who intend to use [[Black Magic]] purely for destructive purposes. Believing that Black Magic and its users are evil beings wielding destruction to suit their own desires, he was loathe to trust the Warrior of Light, and even moreso [[Lalai]], but realized that they must work together to recover the lost Book of Nald'thal before it was too late.

Later, Zhai'a arrived in [[Bronze Lake]] where the Warrior of Light was attacked by members of The Defiant and had slain them. Berating them for not leaving any of them alive to be questioned, he returned back to [[Ul'dah]] and demanded that the Warrior of Light and Lalai stop meddling in his investigation, and continued to demean the use of Black Magic, calling it nothing more than a tool for uncontrolled destruction, citing the [[War of the Magi]] as the type of damage that could be done. After his lecture, he stormed off to continue his investigation into Waldeve.

When Zhai'a next crossed with the Warrior of Light standing over the bodies of yet more Defiant members, he began to berate them once again before realizing that they had not been killed by external forces, but rather destroyed from within. [[Dozol Meloc]] explained that the [[Thaumaturge|Thaumaturges]] before them had read from the Book of Thal and attempted to wield incredibly powerful magicks, but did not carry the [[Gem of Shatotto]], a gem overflowing with powerful aether, and a necessary tool to use such spells. Without it, the Defiant mages simply ignited their own aether and died. With this knowledge, Zhai'a apologized for accusing the Warrior of Light, and left to ponder what he had learned.

Some time later, Zhai'a called the Warrior of Light and Lalai to [[The Quicksand]] and asked for their assistance in tracking Waldeve into the Holy See. Lalai questioned Zhai'a about his acceptance of Black Mages, to which he half-heartedly replied that he had. With that, the pair set off for [[Ishgard]].

After learning that the Defiant had been sighted around [[The Convictory]], the Warrior of Light and Zhai'a questioned the soldiers about what they had heard and been told. While the Warrior was occupied, Zhai'a slipped off on his own to confront the Defiant, but ended up needing to be rescued by the Warrior. After the enemies were dispatched, Zhai'a apologized for acting alone, stating that when the enemy fights, they have to give it their all, and they are guaranteed to die, something he wants to avoid. He understood now that it was foolish to assume all Black Magic was evil, and that when it is used responsibly, it can be a powerful tool. He returned to Gridania to reflect on what took place.

Some time later, he learned that Waldeve had made his base at [[the Burning Wall]]. He quickly informed Lalai of this, then rushed off to gather the three [[Beast Tribe]] thaumaturges. He arrived just in time to see Waldeve opening a portal to [[The Void]] and summoning a [[Voidsent]] named [[Barghest]]. after the voidsent knocked Waldeve out, it attacked the group. After a tense battle, the voidsent was defeated. Zhai'a healed Waldeve's wounds, and took him to Gridania who placed him under arrest to await sentencing by the [[Padjal]]s. He returned to Ul'dah to thank Lalai and the Warrior of Light for opening his eyes to the values of Black Magic.

When a horde of magicked golems appears out of nowhere and begins to attack the [[Twelveswood]], Zhai'a asked Lalai and the Warrior of Light for help subduing them, only to learn that [[Shatotto]]'s memories had implanted themselves within Lalai and would occasionally posess her body. Much to Zhai'a's dismay, Shatotto holds just as much chagrin for him as Lalai does. She and the Warrior of Light assist in defeating the golems, and informs Zhai'a of the impending threat of a meteor packed with great aetheric power, and that if it should collide with the planet, all life would be destroyed. She also states that the golems are made of shards of the meteor, and they are attracted to one another. If enough of them gather in one place, they will surely pull the meteor directly to them. Zhai'a sets off after returning to Ul'dah to garner support for stopping the golems as well as speaking to the [[Astrologian]]s about the trajectory of the meteor.

In the meantime, the trio move about [[Eorzea]], destroying the golems wherever they appear, but eventually their numbers quickly increase, and they begin discussing a plan to eradicate them all. Shatotto pokes fun at Zhai'a about his burgeoning feelings for Lalai, which cause him to immediately become flustered and vehemently deny any such thing before swiftly departing back to Gridania to continue tracking the meteor.

Eventually, it becomes clear that the meteor is on a direct course with Eorzea, and the golems begin tearing eachother apart to claim more soulstone shards to prolong their life, which is beckoning the meteor ever closer. With this they devise a plan: instead of destroying hundreds of golems that constantly rebuild and are reborn, let them destroy each other until only one is left, then destroy it to prevent the meteor from colliding with the planet. Agreeing to this course of action, the trio waited until the appointed hour.

When finally a massive golem appears at the top of [[Sohm Al]], Zhai'a, Shatotto and the Warrior of Light head to the top of the mountain and defeat it in an intense battle of magic. With the disaster averted, Shatotto's memory finally fades from Lalai. Zhai'a admits that his opinion of Shatotto, the "Handmaiden of Death" had changed significantly, and he and Lalai go back to chiding one another. He takes his leave to deliver a report on all that has transpired, and heads back to Gridania.

Over the next while, Zhai'a and Lalai communicated from time to time, with the latter penning several works covering everything they had witnessed and learned about Black Magic. Zhai'a encouraged her to seek having the tomes placed in the archives of the [[Thaumaturge's Guild]], but the guild was hesitant to have tomes about forbidden magick housed within their walls. Zhai'a encouraged the Warrior of Light to vouch for her and plead their case. They do just so, and manage to arrange a meeting with [[Dewlala]], prioress of the guild. However, Zhai'a noticed that Lalai's aether seemed to be unbalanced, and raised the issue with her. Lalai briefly falls unconscious and they take her back to [[Milvaneth Sacrarium]], where Zhai'a gives her a full examination. He learns that her aether has shifted slightly to astral most likely due to Shatotto's memories forcing themselves into her, causing her health issues. He eventually convinced her to entrust the Warrior of Light with her hearing while he heals her, promising that she will be healed in time to say her piece.

After Lalai is healed, Zhai'a congratulates her on her success, to which she thanked him for everything he did as well. He returned to Gridania, promising to introduce her to the scholars at the [[Observatorium]] now that she was "no longer a pariah".

A young woman with the skills of a pugilist, Yda is always seen with her companion, Papalymo, as they go about their enigmatic business in the verdant Black Shroud.

{{quotation|Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 191|Born in Ala Mhigo, Yda is a Highlander woman about whom much remains a mystery, despite her high profile. What little is known, however, paints a colorful picture of an equally colorful individual. 
Yda fled her homeland following the invasion of Garlemald in the year 1557 of the Sixth Astral Era. She and her sister first came to the Twelveswood seeking succor, but were forced to leave after being rejected by the elementals. After moons of wandering and foraging off the land, they found their way to the Dravanian hinterlands. With the aid of her future bosom companion, Papalymo, Yda was given a chance to begin her formal education in Sharlayan proper. 
At first, this did not proceed smoothly, given her aversion to the study of letters. All too often, she could be found sating her hunger for lemoncakes rather than books. What Yda lacked in wit, however, she made up with her amazing physical prowess, and in time would channel this talent into becoming an expert pugilist. 
Though a long-time member of the Circle of Knowing and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, Yda has never forsaken her one true wish: wresting her homeland from the iron clutches of Garlemald. 
'''Gut Wrenchers''': Forged from a hardened darksteel alloy, these cesti-like knuckles are sturdy enough to withstand the incredible force with which Yda wields them. She is also believed to have christened them herself, explaining their nonsensical name.}}

Though canonically a [[Highlander]], female [[Highlander]]s weren't playable during the [[Patch 1.23b|1.x era]] of [[Final Fantasy XIV]]. Given that, [[Minfilia Warde|Minfilia]] and [[Yda]] use [[Midlander]] models, [[emotes]], and gear textures.

===Lore===
Though she had earned the title of [[Archon]], Yda still longed to free her homeland from the grip of the [[Garlean Empire]]. Eventually she left [[Sharlayan]] and returned home at the behest of [[Louisoix Leveilleur]] as part of his mission to save [[Eorzea]]. For several years, she and [[Papalymo]] fought against the Empire, protecting the people of [[Ala Mhigo]] and smuggling them out to Eorzea. Yda eventually met a young girl named [[Fordola]], an Ala Mhigan youth mistreated by her own people. The two grew closer over time and eventually became friends. On the night before her mission ended, she offered to smuggle Fordola and her friends out of Ala Mhigo. The day of, Fordola was followed by Imperial Soldiers and ambushed Yda when she appeared. Yda feigned ignorance to Fordola, pretending not to know her to save her life. She asked Papalymo to look after her sister, [[Lyse Hext]]. She battled against the Imperials to give the girl a chance to escape, and was eventually cut down.

Papalymo gave her signature mask to Lyse to remember her by. Eventually, Lyse decided to fight to keep her sister's ideals alive, by taking her name and hiding her face. She joined Papalymo and convinced him to help her uphold the charade, invoking a [[Glamour]] on her neck of the Archon tattoos. Upon returning to Sharlayan, the members of the [[Circle of Knowing]] immediately recognized that she wasn't Yda, but agreed to remain silent after Papalymo explained what had happened.

==Additional Information==
{{Quotation|[[Encyclopedia Eorzea]] vol 1, "Y'mhitra Rhul", page 235|Born the seventh of twelve sisters, this native of Sharlayan attended the prestigious Studium where she specialized in the field of archaeology. Upon graduating, Y'mhitra joined [[The Sons of Saint Coinach|the Sons of Saint Coinach]], an organization dedicated to unearthing the ancient civilization of Allag, and when the Crystal Tower speared through to the surface following the catastrophic events of the Seventh Umbral Calamity, she made the crossing to Eorzea alongside her colleagues to survey the surrounding ruins. It was during these excavations that the researchers discovered Allagan tomestones detailing the existence of summoners—powerful mages who practiced the technique of reshaping the stolen essence of primals into biddable avatars. Intrigued and excited, Y'mhitra relocated to Gridania to further pursue the trail of history and deepen her understanding of the summoning arts.}}

===Lore===
Players who reach Level 30 as [[Arcanist]] will first encounter Y'mhitra in the quest ''[[Austerities of Flame]]'', where she becomes the player's mentor for the arts of the [[Summoner]] class. Over the next several quests, the player's Warrior of Light earns their [[Soul of the Summoner]], and learns how to summon [[Ifrit-Egi]], [[Titan-Egi]], and [[Garuda-Egi]], all thanks to Y'mhitra's careful research and tutelage.

Following their first [[Austerities of Earth|successful summoning of Titan-Egi]], the Warrior of Light and Y'mhitra are attacked by another, yet unknown Summoner, who aims to steal the Warrior of Light's [[Soul of the Summoner|soul crystal]]. After the two magi combine their powers to successfully repel the attack, Y'mhitra declares that the responsibility of bringing this rogue summoner to justice falls on them, lest the art of summoning fall out of public favor.<ref>[[Shadowing the Summoner]] Y'hmitra: "It is our responsibility to bring this Tristan to justice. Should we stand idle, his reprehensible actions could very well stain the good name of future summoners who have yet to answer their calling. The art itself could be outlawed: the very mention of it, taboo."</ref>

Y'mhitra learns that the name of the Summoner that attacked them was named [[Tristan Nightflicker]], and tasks the Warrior of Light with learning what they can of him from comrades in [[Little Ala Mhigo]]. Upon their return, Y'mhitra surmises that Tristan is incredibly intelligent to have laid a trap for them. The pair summon forth the Garuda-Egi and defeat it, allowing the Warrior of Light to call it forth.

Y'mhitra takes the Warrior of Light to [[Saint Coinach's Find]] upon learning that a suit of Summoner's attire had been uncovered in the [[Allagan Empire|Allagan Ruins]]. After clearing out several Mirrorknights that had appeared from the dig site, the Warrior of Light was gifted several pieces of the Evoker attire. Y'mhitra notes that the attire is similar to what Tristan was wearing. Though she was uncertain how he could have obtained such gear, she assured the Warrior of Light that it would offer no advantage to him, and they would have to rely on their skills in a confrontation next time.

Some time later, Y'mhitra receives a missive that several of her companions had been massacred by "a dark summoner". Upon investigating and speaking with survivors, she and the Warrior of Light learn that he had appeared just after the dig team had found an ancient Soul Crystal. When they had refused, he set their campground ablaze and took the crystals by force. Witnesses saw him head towards the [[Singing Shards]].

At the Singing Shards, the pair saw Tristan dealing with an [[Ascian]], who promised him the ultimate power of a Summoner, releasing the memories held in the Soul Crystals into Tristan before vanishing. He confronted Y'mhitra and the Warrior of Light with his newly obtained [[Belias-Egi]], claiming that he would take back the Warrior of Light's Soul Crystal and purge the world of the [[Beast Tribe]]s and stop the Primals from ever being summoned again.

After being defeated, Y'mhitra revealed that she understood his motivations-that he had lost his brother to a Primal's tempering, and that he had sworn revenge. In one last act of aggression, Tristan swore he would be the sword that purged the world of the beastmen, and called upon Ifrit-Egi for a massive attack. Unfortunately, Tristan ended up losing the last of his life in the attack.

Back at [[Apkallu Falls]], Y'mhitra thought back about the events that had transpired, and that if Tristan had reached out to them instead of going on a murderous rampage, they may very well have been allies. She also turned over the Evoker's Coat, which had been given to her in exchange for the Warrior of Light bringing Tristan to justice.

Following the events of the banquet and the subsequent disappearance of [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], [[Kan-E-Senna]] requires an aetheric signature similar to [[Y'shtola]]s in order to track where she disappeared to after using the forbidden spell Flow. Using Y'mhitra, Kan-E-Senna is able to track Y'shtola in the [[Lifestream]] to the Guardian Tree, and is able to pull her from the Lifestream with her sister's help.

Y'mhitra aids the Warrior of Light by continuing to train them in honing their skills as a Summoner. She receives word that the Sons had uncovered yet more tomes regarding various spells and summoning methods, which may allow the Warrior of Light to call upon yet more Egis. However, upon realizing that they held the ability to potentially summon Ramuh-egi, when they reached the Singing Shards, they were unable to do so. disappointed but undeterred, Y'mhitra set about perusing the Allagan tomes to determine why.

Some time later, the pair were approached by [[Dancing Wolf]], a captain in the [[Immortal Flames]]. He explains that there has been another attack by someone matching the description of Tristan, and sought Y'mhitra's and the Warrior of Light's help investigating. After much searching and planning, the trio eventually manage to lay a trap to catch the mage and defeat him. Upon his death, the mage in question is revealed to be Kahedin, Tristan's deceased brother. Confused as to how a man long dead was out attacking caravans, an Ascian of the Twelfth Chalice appeared, expressing his frustration at the weakness of the brothers, and that he would soon snuff out the Warrior of Light before disappearing.

After much research into the ancient tomes, Y'mhitra came to the realization that a Summoner can only call upon Egis that they would be able to sustain with their life force. Being able to call upon so many already, the Warrior of Light simply did not have the means to be able to summon any additional Egis. Instead, Y'mhitra proposed inducing a Trance, the ability to infuse the caster with the powers of the Primal instead of manifesting them. To handle the Ascian threat, Y'mhitra proposed channeling none other than [[Bahamut]], the Primal that laid waste to Eorzea during the [[Seventh Umbral Calamity]]. To induce the Trance, the trio snuck into [[Carteneau Flats]], entering into "contested" territory where the residual aether of Bahamut was its heaviest. While the Warrior of Light attuned to Bahamut's aether, Y'mhitra and Dancing Wolf held off the attacks of the Ascian that appeared and his egis. When the Warrior of Light entered their Trance, they were able to immediately destroy the summoned egis, causing the Ascian to panic and flee.

Y'mhitra realized that these lesser members of the Ascians were unable to perform several feats of their superiors, such as possess living bodies or escape to [[the Void]], meaning that they could in fact defeat them if they destroyed the body they were currently processing and didn't have access to another corpse immediately. Y'mhitra planned to defeat the Ascians that had been tormenting her and the Warrior of Light, but claimed they needed a book from [[The Great Gubal Library]]. She, the Warrior of Light and Dancing Wolf made for the [[Dravanian Hinterlands]].

Just outside the library, four black-masked Ascians ambushed the group, planning to kill them once and for all. Together, the trio took a stand, with the Warrior of Light entering into another Trance. Harnessing the powers of Bahamut, they were able to completely eradicate the Ascians bodies and souls, preventing them from returning and ending their threat. Y'mhitra revealed that she had learned that the heat of battle was what induced the full effects of the Trance, and they needed only to draw the Ascians to an optimal location. With the issue finally put to rest, Dancing Wolf returned to Ul'dah to hold a memorial for Tristan, and Y'mhitra to [[Gridania]] to carefully watch over the spread and cultivation of Summoning.

Y'mhitra was contacted by [[Rammbroes]] to let the Warrior of Light know that they had found another ancient tome nearby where they had found the Evoker's Attire, and felt it would be the most useful with them. Upon attempting to delve into its secrets, the book sprang to life, claiming to be a familiar from the ancient days of Allag, made to awaken and share the highest knowledge of summoning when in the presence of a powerful Summoner. Declaring itself to be named [[Principia]] (or Prin for short), the familiar said it must deliver three challenges in order to deem the Warrior of Light worthy of its ancient knowledge.

The first trial simply consisted of defeating a monster to demonstrate the power they wield, which they do handedly. Prin declares that they have indeed passed the first test, and were far more powerful than expected. While preparing the second, Y'mhitra is called away to deal with the new Summoning Squad of the Immortal Flames. When she returns, she is accompanied by Dancing Wolf. When the book declares that the second trial is a battle against other Summoners, Dancing Wolf offers up the squad in exchange for Y'mhitra and the Warrior of Light offering them some pointers. Agreeing to the terms, they meet up in [[Northern Thanalan]]. [[Denise]], [[Crispin]] and [[Jajasamu]] are the members of the squad chosen for battle, and soon enough the Warrior of Light passes the second test.

Before the third test, Y'mhitra asks Prin about their master, [[Sari]]. Prin explains that Sari was one of the last Summoners of the Allagan era, as they were first loved by the people, but began to abuse their powers and were hunted and hated for it. Sari sought to keep the art alive and make sure his knowledge was passed to a Summoner with a good heart, which is why he locked his knowledge behind the trials.

For the third trial, Prin says they need an accurate simulation of a real battlefield, which Y'mhitra and Dancing Wolf arrange to be [[Seal Rock]]. However, before departing, the Summoning Squad and Dancing Wolf are attacked by a mage on the island. Rushing out there, Y'mhitra and the Warrior of Light find the group attacked by powerful Sephirot-egi's, and a strange Summoner, who Prin addresses as Master Sari. Sari adds an additional seal to Prin, tied to his life force, then wishes the Warrior of Light good luck before vanishing.

When Y'mhitra asked why Prin addressed the man as Sari, Prin answered that it recognized Sari's exact form and aetheric pattern. When Y'mhitra points out that its master has been dead for several millennia, they state that it may very well be a clone, a technique mastered by the Allagans long ago.

Y'mhitra suggests that they receive aid from Rammbroes. He has several tomestones that they may peruse, but he also suggests speaking to Rowena, who takes a portion of their findings in exchange for funding their digs. Y'mhitra delivers a letter to Rowena from Rammbroes stating that they would only borrow the books, and return them unscathed. After gathering the tomes, Y'mhitra and the Warrior of Light take them back to Saint Coinach's Find.

After much reading, they learn that Sari's research was taken to [[The Aetherochemical Research Facility]] of [[Azys Lla]]. Heading there with Y'mhitra, Dancing Wolf and the members of the Summoning Squad, the Warrior of Light embarks for the Facility. When they arrive, they split up to locate Sari. When the Warrior of Light finds him, he praises them for finding him, and will await them inside, then vanishes. Y'mhitra notes that he disappears just like a summoned being, and posits that he must be a complex summoned entity made by one of the machines built by Sari long ago.

Upon entering the facility, it is revealed that the machine has been designed to destroy any with a Summoners Soul Crystal, and summons forth several Sari replicas, as well as several other entities to fight the group. When the Warrior of Light finally manages to defeat the Summoning Node, Dancing Wolf searches the Facility to endure the machine was truly undone, and found several Soul Crystals within.

Upon reviewing the records from the facility, Y'mhitra found a record of unedited records of the past that show that Sari had become increasingly bitter and resentful, and decided that the future couldn't be trusted to new Summoners, and dedicated himself to Aetherochemistry, and built the machine they did battle with as a guardian of the world. He used his murdered students' Soul Crystals, further amplifying its summoning power. Choosing instead to remember him as the young Summoner master who created Prin and was hopeful about the future of Summoning. Prin consumed the old Soul Crystals to keep them safe, and with Sari's knowledge passed on, Principia returned to sleep, waiting for the next time they would be needed to pass on ancient Summoning knowledge. Y'mhitra returned to her duties as a guide for fledgling Summoners, and helped spread the craft.

{{quotation|[[Encyclopædia Eorzea]] Vol 1, page 190|From a young age, Y'shtola showed a tremendous talent with magic, and was sent for tutelage to the famous Archon Matoya at the age of seven. This displeased Matoya, who thought it little more than a chore passed onto her by her fellow Archons. In order to rid herself of the girl, she devised a particularly strict regimen, and forced it upon Y'shtola. However, the Seeker of the Sun is unyielding by nature, and struggled through, stoically continuing where an adult would have given up. Perhaps Matoya recognized something of herself in the stubborn girl, for in time the Archon began to treat "Shtola" properly as her student. After a decade spent in Matoya's Cave, Y'shtola emerged and took her place amongst the other Archons as an expert in the arcane arts. 
The hands of time ever stopped at twenty and three, Y'shtola has, during her time as an Archon, forged a special bond with Yda—one out of necessity, considering the lack of refinement displayed by the young firebrand.

===About===
Y'shtola was born in the colony of New Sharlayan and is the 4th born of 12 sisters{{Cite book|title=Chronicles of Light|volume=II|page=220-224|passage-text=Private Reflections: Several passages stating the age and names of Y'shtola's sisters and half-sisters|name=Sisters}}.

Since her mother was too weak to look after her children after she gave birth to the twins Y'mithra and Y'mallibo{{Cite book|title=Chronicles of Light|volume=II|page=222|passage-text=|name=Chronicles of Light}}, the Forum sent Y'shtola, who has shown tremendous talent with magic, for tutelage to the famous [[Matoya|Archon Matoya]] at the age of seven.{{Cite book|volume=I|page=190|passage-text=From a young age, Y'shtola showed a tremendous talent with magic, and was sent for tutelage to the famous Archon Matoya at the age of seven.|name=}}

Because of spending her youth with studies, and not living with her sisters, and unlike other Seeker of the Sun tribes, her father had mates all across the lands, Y'shtola sees her sisters more like distant relatives{{Cite book|title=Chronicles of Light|volume=II|page=221|passage-text=Private Reflections: The result being that, besides sharing a sire, my half-sisters have always felt more akin to distant relatives|name=}}.

After a decade of a strict regimen, Y'shtola emerged from [[Matoya|Matoya's]] Cave in the [[Dravanian Hinterlands]] as an expert in the arcane arts<ref name=>[[Encyclopædia Eorzea]] Vol 1, page 190: "In order to rid herself of the girl, she devised a particularly strict regimen, and forced it upon Y'shtola."

She then travelled to [[Old Sharlayan]] to persue her archon mark.

Since her sister [[Y'mhitra]] had in interest in [[Allagan]] magicks and was working for the Sons of Saint Coinach, they found common ground and Y'shtola grew closer to her{{Cite book|title=Chronicles of Light|volume=II|page=221|passage-text=Private Reflections: While I have since grown close to my sister Mhitra, it is only because we have common acadeamic ground [...]|name=}}.

After Nazqha scattered the ashes of their father in the Ruby Sea, she went to Old Sharlayan and asked [[Y'adebh]] to bid all sisters to come together to mourn him.

Y'shtola received the forbidden [[Mhach|Mhachi]] Grimoire "''Gateway to the Void''"{{Cite book|title=Chronicles of Light|volume=II|page=221-225|passage-text=Private Reflections: The meeting of the sisters in the Rostra, where everyone receives a book from their passed father.|name=}}.

==Main Scenario==
===Before the Calamity of the Sixth Umbral Era===
Y'shtola was originally part of the [[Circle of Knowing]] before the [[Seventh Umbral Calamity]]. When the Lesser Moon [[Dalamud]] threatened to crash into [[Eorzea]], she joined with the other [[Archon]]s and adventurers in rousing the people of [[Limsa Lominsa]] to prayer. Following the destruction caused by [[Bahamut]], she and the other Archons joined with [[Minfilia]] and formed [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], a group formed to protect Eorzea without the influence of any one government. She aided in the evacuation and eventual rebuilding that came following the Calamity.

===A Realm Reborn===
Many years later, Y'shtola came across an adventurer in a cave studying a poem carved on a stone slab. When the pair were attacked by a [[Goobbue (Mob)|Goobbue]], she aided in defeating it, noting that it had been stuck by a knife and was most likely the reason it charged. She suspected pirates to be at the root of the problem, as she had been investigating disappearances around the area. When the adventurer tells her they saw a "towering crystal", she seemed to be aware of what they were talking about, claiming that "today had been a day full of revelations". She left the cave, saying that she hoped their paths would cross again.

Y'shtola would later run into the adventurer when an [[Ascian]] attacked them. She aided in the battle, helping them slay a voidsent, and later the Ascian himself. Y'shtola explained who the Ascians were, and soon comes to realize that the adventurer is blessed with the gift of [[the Echo]]. She thanked them for aiding in bringing her investigation to a close, as she now knew the Ascian had been controlling the pirates. Y'shtola takes her leave, saying they will hopefully cross paths again.

Y'shtola meets the adventurer for a third time, after witnessing them defend an innocent beggar woman from an obnoxious merchant and his thugs. She commends them on their bravery and selflessness, noting how they were willing to dive headfirst into danger to protect someone else with little to gain from it. She tells the adventurer that she is part of a group who can help them understand the bizarre visions they seem to be having, and invites them to [[the Waking Sands]], the headquarters of the Scions.

Upon them joining as a Scion, Y'shtola aided them in several missions, including helping them with the various tasks set to them by the [[Company of Heroes]], and accessing [[The Navel]], the ritualistic summoning grounds for [[Titan]], the [[Primal]] of the [[Kobold]]s. Following the defeat of Titan, she noticed an Ascian and a [[Garlean Empire|Garlean]] soldier observing their battle. Suspicious of their actions, she stayed in Limsa Lominsa for a time investigating.

Following the attack on their headquarters by [[Livia sas Junius]] and a legion of Imperial Troops, she took part in the operation to rescue the captured Scions, using her magic to defend against the [[Magitek]] firearms. Though she intended to face off against Livia, she and the others were forced to retreat.

Following [[Operation Archon]] and the move to [[Revenant's Toll]], Y'shtola and [[Thancred]], as well as the [[Warrior of Light]], investigated a surge in raids on crystal caravans by a mysterious group. After working with the [[Brass Blades]], the group lay a trap and slay the culprits, members of the [[Serpent Reavers]] who were attempting to gather the requisite materials to summon [[Leviathan]]. Y'shtola returned to Limsa Lominsa and shared her findings with [[Merlwyb]], the Admiral of the city-state.

Following the attack on [[The Steps of Faith]] and the repelling of [[Vishap]] and the [[Dravanian Horde]], Y'shtola joined with the Warrior of Light and the other Scions at a banquet held in their honor. Unfortunately, the assassination of the 'Sultana and the betrayal of the [[Crystal Braves]] took place, orchestrated by [[Teledji Adeledji]] to frame the Warrior of Light and the Scions for regicide. Fleeing from the Brass Blades, Y'shtola and Thancred were both cornered in the [[Sil'dih]] Aqueducts. Y'shtola caved in the tunnel so that Minfilia and the Warrior of Light could escape, and continued battling against the Blades. Eventually finding themselves overwhelmed, in a last-ditch effort to survive, Y'shtola cast the forbidden spell Flow, pulling the pair into the Lifestream. Though Thancred managed to escape, Y'shtola remained trapped floating within the stream.

===Heavensward===
Sometime later, thanks to the efforts of her fellow Scions, the Warrior of Light, [[Kan-E-Senna]] and her half sister, [[Y'mhitra]], she was located and eventually pulled from the Lifestream before her body was broken down and she was completely reduced to aether. However, she remained unconscious for quite some time, and was taken to [[Gridania]] to recover.

Upon awakening, she learned that she could no longer see normally as before, but could instead see the swirling of the aetheric current within everything. She also found her proclivity for spellcasting greatly improved. She however did not share the change in her vision, merely stating that she could "sense" the aether more keenly. She explained what took place in the tunnel, then thanked [[Alphinaud]] for keeping everyone in good spirits, reassuring him that the betrayal of the Crystal Braves was in no way his fault.

Donning the new outfit made custom for her by [[Tataru]], she quickly caught up to speed with the goings-on, and began aiding in a method to create an aetheric ram. Though she knew not where they may purchase one, she knew that her old master, [[Matoya]], would be more than capable in instructing them how to make one.

While spending time with Matoya, Y'shtola's old master spoke to her in private, noting the change in her eyes. Initially attempting to brush it off as nothing, Matoya knew better. As a master of Aetherology, she knew that Y'shtola was completely blind, and using her own aether as fuel to be able to see in the way that she could. Matoya warned her to be careful, which Y'shtola promised she would.

Y'shtola accompanied the Scions and the Warrior of Light to [[Azys Lla]] in pursuit of [[Archbishop Thordan VII]]. She aided in helping the Warrior reactivate the various teleportation nodes around the [[Allagan Empire|Allagan]] facility. When the Imperials pursue them, she, Alphinaud and [[Estinien Wyrmblood]] stay behind to hold them off while the Warrior continues ahead to stop the Ascians and Thordan.

After Thordan was defeated and Estinien had entered in after the Warrior of Light, she witnessed a large dark shadow fly off from the island while they retreated. She was also the first to notice that Estinienwas not escaping with them. Explaining what had transpired, the group sought a way to free the [[Dragoon]] from the grip of [[Nidhogg]]'s possession.

When [[Krile]] joined the Scions in the hunt for the remaining missing Scions, Y'shtola used Matoya's Crystal Eye, an ancient Crystal of Light, to trace Thancred to the [[Dravanian Forelands]], where he had been trading with the [[Gnath]]. He had been tracking the [[Warriors of Darkness]], and had crossed paths with [[Alisaie]] as well. Y'shtola theorized that the time Thancred had spent in the Lifestream had most likely impaired him from using magic.

While spending time in the [[Dravanian Hinterlands]], Y'shtola was present to witness the arrival of [[Alexander]]. She worked with Matoya to learn what she could about how it moves through time and how best to slay a Primal so massive. When [[Mide Hotgo]] revealed that she had been given an extremely rare item by a mysterious man, Y'shtola recognized the name [[Travanchet]], an identity used by the Ascians, which aided in helping to figure out how to handle the Primal.

When [[The Griffin]] began to make moves against the Garleans and attacked [[Baelsar's Wall]], Y'shtola joined in the offensive after the false flag operation pulled the [[Eorzean Alliance]] into the conflict. She joined the Warrior of Light at the top of the Wall for the reveal of [[Ilberd]]'s plan, and when he revealed that he held the Eyes of Nidhogg and used them to summon a Primal, sacrificing himself to complete the ritual. After [[Papalymo]] gave his life to temporarily seal it, Y'shtola watched over it until the Warrior of Light, [[Cid nan Garlond]] and [[Nero tol Scaeva]] awoke [[Omega]] to do battle with [[Shinryu]].

===Stormblood===
Shortly after Eorzea became embroiled in the battle for [[Ala Mhigo]], Y'shtola was grievously wounded in an attack by [[Zenos yae Galvus]] and [[The Skulls]]. Y'shtola attempted to stop Zenos' blade when he swung for [[Lyse Hext]] using a magical barrier. However, Zenos proved to be more than a match for her, shattering the barrier and lethally wounding her. Though she was stabilized after Zenos left, she needed to be immediately rushed to [[Castrum Oriens]], where she had to stay, unable to participate in the liberation of either [[Doma]] or Ala Mhigo.

Once she recovered, Y'shtola aided in recruiting the people of the [[Azim Steppe]] to fight for them against the Garlean Empire. She also aided in restoring the aether to the Allagan technology to power the barrier in [[The Burn]]. When the Scions began falling into mysterious comas, Y'shtola fell unconscious when they returned to the [[Rising Stones]], along with [[Urianger]].

===Shadowbringers===
As it turned out, the Scions' souls were pulled from [[The Source]] to [[The First]], to a land called [[Norvrandt]] by a mysterious figure called the [[G'raha Tia|Crystal Exarch]]. He explains that he had intended to summon the Warrior of Light to aid in stopping [[The Flood]] in order to prevent the [[Eighth Umbral Calamity]]. For her part, Y'shtola made for the [[Rak'tika Greatwood]].

Following the burning of the home of the [[Night's Blessed]] after a [[Sin Eater]] attack, Y'shtola aided in stopping the attack as well as leading the survivors to a safe area to rebuild. She joined the Night's Blessed, and took the name Matoya, as it is against their belief to speak their true names under the Eternal Light. With that she also began honing her skills in [[Black Magic]] to better defend against the Sin Eaters<ref>{{game icon|The Burden of Knowledge}}, Optional dialogue before {{game icon|Qitana Ravel}}.</ref>.

By the time the Warrior of Light arrived on The First and reunited with Y'shtola, she was unable to recognize them given how blinding their aether had become. Once the situation had been explained, she joined the group in their hunt for the [[Lightwarden]]. She led them through the vast Greatwood to [[The Blind Forest of Yx'Maja]] and the Ronkan Ruins.

After entering the ruins, Y'shtola and the group was beset by [[Eulmore|Eulmorran Soldiers]] and [[Ran'jit]]. They did battle, causing the floor to give way. After being told they had poisoned the Night's Blessed, but they held the antidote, and would hand it over in exchange for aiding them get out, Ran'jit knocked the adjutant into the pit, claiming that they "did not deal with the enemy" and that their lives are forfeit. In a bid to save the antidote, Y'shtola dove into the pit, knocking it to the Warrior of Light, telling them not to fail before plummeting to the depths below.

In an attempt to survive, Y'shtola once again employed the spell Flow, being pulled once again into the Lifestream, this time on the First. Luckily, she was quickly pulled out by [[Emet-Selch]], mostly as a method for him to show his goodwill. After their reunion, the group made for the Lightwarden and defeated it. They continued exploring the ruins and discovered old cave paintings. Y'shtola questioned the Ascian about their significance. He explained that they showed the defeat of [[Zodiark]] by [[Hydaelyn]], at the point when the world was [[Sundering|Sundered]]. This raised the question about whether or not the two could be considered Primals.

Following the defeat of [[Vauthry]], the final Lightwarden, the Warrior of Light began to be consumed by the Light. When the Exarch appeared and claimed he was going to steal the light and "travel to the other worlds", Y'shtola made to attack him, but was stopped by Urianger. When she took time to think about what he said, Y'shtola realized the Exarch's true goal; to take the light and leave to [[the Void]], where he would give his life. This was ultimately waylaid by Emet-Selch attacking Exarch, revealed to be [[G'raha Tia]]. Emet-Selch condemned the Scions and the Warrior of Light, and said he looked forward to when they destroyed the world, inviting them all to [[The Tempest]] to transform with "some dignity" before disappearing.

Y'shtola joined the Warrior of Light and the Scions into the Tempest to [[Amaurot]], where they confronted [[Emet-Selch]] and the [[Final Days]], before finally doing battle with the Ascian, who cast aside his title, and battled for his mission as [[Hades]]. Y'shtola aided in the final conflict, eventually laying Emet-Selch low. The Scions parted ways for a time, with Y'shtola returning to [[Slitherbough]].

Y'shtola continued to work with G'raha to discover a method for the Scions to return home. She aided in recruiting the [[Nu Mou]] [[Beq Lugg]], an expert in aetheromancy to their cause. Upon returning to [[The Crystarium]], she and Urianger went about creating White Auracite as a base vessel given its aether storing properties, however the Auracite by itself could not hold their memories. While G'raha and Beq Lugg worked away, she and the other Scions researched any method they could find to transport their souls home.

Y'shtola agreed with the Warrior of Light and the other Scions in their plan to restore the names of the Warriors of Light from the First to their former glory. They each set about gathering people to the Crystarium. However, the Ascian [[Elidibus]] used this to his advantage, possessing the body of [[Ardbert]], he sowed the hope and belief in the Warrior of Light mythos, triggering the imagery of a Starshower, which caused several of the people of the First to awaken to the Echo. Though she was certain he was plotting something, Y'shtola was content to let the people be reawakened to hope again.

While researching, Y'shtola eventually came across the facility named [[Anamnesis Anyder]] which held countless records, some of which reached all the way back to before the Sundering. She remained there for a time, eventually learning that Elidibus had become the heart of Zodiark long ago. Eventually she came to learn of his true plan: Elidibus had become a Primal of sorts, and intended to use the faith in the Warrior of Light to destroy the Warrior of Light from the Source. He attacked her, and used her as bait to lure the Warrior of Light into battle. When she eventually awoke, she revealed all she knew, to which Elidibus denied nothing.

When Elidibus attacked G'raha and stole the vessel containing his blood and began summoning shades of heroes from all the realms, Y'shtola aided the Warrior of Light in fighting a path back to the Crystal Tower to confront Elidibus. She held off the shades at the base of the Tower while they made for the top for the battle. When all was said and done, and the land of Norvrandt was safe, the Scions returned to the Source, and back to their bodies.

Following their return, Y'shtola and the other Scions fought against the rogue Ascian [[Fandaniel]] and the [[Telophoroi]], saving the ancestral land of the [[Amalj'aa]], [[Paglth'an]]. She also assisted in creating the Familiar to aid in curing Tempering. She sat in on the meetings to form peace with the Beast Tribes to unite all of Eorzea against the plot to end the world via the Final Days. When the Scions realized they needed to learn what they could about the Final Days , and their best shot would be the innumberable records of [[Sharlayan]]. However, when they petitioned for their aid, Sharlayan refused, choosing instead to remain neutral. This prompted the group to travel across [[The Northern Empty]] to visit Sharlayan themselves.

===Endwalker===
Upon arriving at Sharlayan, Y'shtola along with Krile, G'raha and the Warrior of Light scoured the libraries at the Studium for any information regarding the Final Days. However, when they were pulled in front of [[The Forum]], Y'shtola became enraged by their cowardice, telling them that if they would not stand with them, then they would not stand in their way. For their efforts, they were not ejected from Sharlayan, but were forbidden from researching further in the city-state.

Y'shtola joined the others in [[Thavnair]], and was part of the assault on [[The Tower of Zot]], fighting against the Tempered within, as well as the Primal forms of [[The Magus Sisters]]. Upon reaching the top, they destroyed the core of the tower, causing it to disappear completely. She survived the fall, but did sustain minor injuries. She aided in healing the [[Matanga]] who had been held prisoner inside the tower.

When the Scions joined the Eorzean Alliance on their humanitarian mission to [[Garlemald]], Y'shtola and the others joined the Ilsabard contingent. She battled against the Tempered Garleans to protect the convoy before reaching an abandoned town, which they established as their base and named [[Camp Broken Glass]]. When the Warrior of Light returned after the chaos broke out due to the roar of the Primal housed within [[The Tower of Babil]], she could see that something was wrong, as their aether was completely wrong. She and the others confronted Zenos, before he was driven from their body. With the Warrior of Light returned, they all made for the Tower to stop the Primal.

At the top of the tower, Y'shtola and the others waited behind and helped handle the chaos while the Warrior of Light made for the moon to stop Fandaniel and Zenos. She, Thancred and Urianger followed after Zodiark was slain and the seal preventing the Final Days was broken. She met with the [[Loporrit]]s, and attempted to aid them in learning what the new people of [[Etheriys]] required to survive, and how they had changed since the days before the Sundering. Eventually, she and the others decided that they could not give up on their planet, and had to fight for it.

That night, Y'shtola visited the Warrior of Light, expressing her concern for them, expressing how the incident on The First truly made her worry, and not to push themselves too hard all the time. When the Final Days fell upon the land, she aided in slaying the [[Blasphemy|Blasphemies]] that appeared. With her aethersight, she realized that the beast had in fact been a person transformed, but she was soon unable to see them, as their aether had "rotted away". This brought them to the horrific realization that once someone is turned, death could be their only salvation.

Eventually, the Scions had calmed the people and managed to bring the incident under control. Y'shtola pondered the differences between this Final Days and the Final Days that brought about the Sundering. She suggested talking to Hydaelyn, and wondered about the name of the flower given to the Warrior of Light: [[Elpis]]. This prompted G'raha to suggest the Warrior of Light return to the First and speak to Elidibus, who partially remained within the Crystal Tower. In the meantime, Y'shtola returned to Matoya to learn what she could about entering the Aetherial Sea.

When the Warrior of Light returned from Elpis and explained the cause of the Final Days, Y'shtola and the others set about convincing the Forum to allow them to enter into the Aetherial Sea via [[The Aitiascope]] to seek out Hydaelyn. She aided in battling past the remaining aether of enemies past, before coming before Hydaelyn Herself. She tested the Scions to ensure they could handle the coming battle with [[Meteion]]. When they passed their trial, Y'shtola posited that the reason She had sundered the people was that they would be more capable of dealing and interacting with [[Dynamis]]. Hydaelyn turned over a crystal revealing the location of Meteion's nest, and gave them Her blessing.

After convincing the Forum to turn over the [[Ragnarok]] and upgrading it, the Scions set off for [[Ultima Thule]]. Immediately after arriving, they were beset by Meteion, who attempted to make the environment inhospitable. With the sacrifice of Thancred, wishing that they would "Survive", the Scions departed the ship.

The land of Ultima Thule was abundant with Dynamis, giving Meteion complete control over everything that happened there. As they moved through the various recreations of destroyed planets, their numbers began to thin, with each Scion sacrificing their lives to continue the path forward. Y'shtola conversed with the [[Ea]], beings who gave into their despair when they realized that eventually the entire universe would end. She argued that though the end would surely come, the pursuit of knowledge is worth living for, and she would never give in to her despair. By altering the Dynamis in the area, she and Urianger sacrificed themselves to continue the path forward.

Eventually, Y'shtola and the other Scions were resurrected by the Warrior of Light using the power of [[Azem]]. Together, they battled through [[The Dead Ends]], and the various images of destroyed worlds who had given in to despair. At the end, she and the others were ready to confront [[The Endsinger]], but were greatly overpowered. in a last-ditch attempt to save their friends, the Warrior of Light activated their teleporter beacon, pulling the Scions back to the Ragnarok, where they had no choice but to wait and hope.

When the Warrior of Light eventually appeared back on the deck of the Ragnarok barely alive, Y'shtola watched on as Alphinaud, G'raha and Alisaie did everything they could to stabalize them. When they finally opened their eyes, Y'shtola chastized them, telling them never to do something so foolish ever again, and that her heart couldn't take it. Upon returning to Sharlayan, she celebrated with the others, now that the Final Days had been averted. When the Scions returned to the Rising Stones, they "disbanded", while agreeing to continue their mission to defend Eorzea and the wider world against any threats. To sell the belief that they had truly seperated, they all went their seperate ways. For her part, Y'shtola returned to Matoya's Cave, compiling notes on her time with the Scions with the intent to publish a book detailing their adventures.

===Lore===
{{see also|Field Notes on Xeven}}
Believed to be a native of [[Bozja]], Xeven was a powerful mage who fought for the [[Blades of Gunnhildr]]. A well-traveled [[Hrothgar]], Xeven had visited many lands and learned their spellcraft, eventually culminating in a totally unique school of magic. He wields his spells with a destructive hatred against the [[Garlean Empire]] that took his home and his mother from him.

As a young boy, He and his father searched for a way to heal his mother of the terminal ailment she suffered from, but to no avail, as she passed before he could find a cure. Blaming the illness on the invasion of the Empire, he swore vengeance against them, and began working to hone his craft, eventually becoming one of the most deadly mages in history. However, he did not share his arcane knowledge with any others, fully recognizing the destructive power of the spells he wove and didn't wish any to abuse them.

On the battlefield, his presence was akin to a vengeful god, inspiring awe and terror in equal measure. He was known for charging ahead into deadly situations with no regard for his own safety. This invitation to death came from the fact that while traveling through [[Dalmasca]], Xeven was witness to a prophecy spoken to him by a seer in a foreign language. Though what they said was unintelligible to his ear, he was nevertheless able to understand it: "When the fires of revolution stained the skies of Bozja, his doom would be at hand". And with the raging war on the [[Bozjan Southern Front]], he took this to mean that his death was close at hand. Instead of fearing it, however, he seeks it out, doing his part as a member of the Blades to destroy any and all Garleans in his people's way.

True to the prophecy, Xeven would meet his doom on the battlefield. He took part in the attack on [[Castrum Lacus Litore]], where the traitor [[Misija]] confronted them, using the ancient weapon [[Save the Queen]]. Forcing the [[Warrior of Light]] and [[Mikoto]] to use [[the Echo]] to enter into the blade's latent memories, which she twisted to turn the power of the Queen against her enemies. Harnessing the [[Primal]]-like power of the blade, she Tempered several of the members of the Blades present, Xeven included, and twisted them into cruel, horrific monsters that were later slain by the Warrior of Light.

Axemaster Wyrnzoen was a captain of the Yellowjackets with many victories to his name. A wound to the knee in a skirmish with the kobolds, however, forced him to abandon the front lines. Nonetheless, the Sea Wolf's skill with the axe and stalwart character did not go unnoticed. After the Marauders' Guild was restructured at at Admiral Merlwyb's behest, he was appointed master, and now brings all the wisdom of his thirty-five summers to bear in instructing new students of the axe.

==Additional Information==
Wyrnzoen Saelsmyndsyn's name means "Snake Tongue" and "Salt Mouth's son," respectively in the [[Languages/Roegadyn Dictionary|traditional Roegadyn language]].

===Lore===
As the guildmaster or Axemaster of the [[Marauder]]s guild, Wyrnzoen welcomes adventurers of all kinds, training them the art of wielding an axe and mastering their inner strength. He inducted the [[Warrior of Light]] into their ranks, handing them their first weapon and sent them on various missions to hone their skills, from splitting boulders of various sizes to slaying the pests outside of [[Limsa Lominsa]]. With enough training, Wyrnzoen sends the Warrior of Light out with his sister, [[Solkwyb]], to handle an incursion of Megalocrabs, while also rescuing a young boy who had snuck off tracking the large monster they had followed and who had killed his parents: [[Kujata]]. Telling them to hone their anger and their thirst for vengeance, Wyrnzoen began training them to turn them into the lethal weapon they would need to be in order to take down the massive [[Aurochs]].

From here, Wyrnzoen sends the Warrior of Light on various missions to rid Limsa Lominsa and the surrounding towns and settlements of the monsters that follow in Kujata's wake. When they receive word that the young boy, [[Sighard]] had run off after the massive monster. Upon arriving and learning that several pack jackals have surrounded not only the boy, but also the Warrior of Light and Solkwyb, Wyrnzoen rushes to their side, scattering the beasts and saving everyone present. He carries the boy back to his grandfather's home so he can recover, and continues the Warrior of Light's training.

Eventually, he tells the Warrior of Light that they are ready for their final trial, sending them out with Solkwyb to the Salt Strand in [[Lower La Noscea]]. After slaying some weaker monsters, Wyrnzoen appears in a "disguise", alongside other members of the guild in an ambush to push the Warrior of Light to their limits to help unlock the deepest reserves of their strength. When the Warrior of Light bests the Marauders and Wyrnzoen, he congratulates them on their skill and power, and departs back to the guild. When next the Warrior of Light approaches them, he sends them out on to their final mission, to defeat Kujata. He collects Sighard and his grandfather, and takes them to witness the beast's final moments at the hands of the Warrior of Light. He congratulates them on a job well done, and tells them they have nothing else to learn from him. He tells them to continue honing their skills and using life and its experiences to become stronger.

The next time the Warrior of Light sees him, he has challenged [[Curious Gorge]] and [[Broken Mountain]] to a battle against him and his Marauders, [[Dorgono]] amongst them. He arrives in his familiar disguise and tests the strength of the [[Warrior]]s. During the battle, when Dorgono loses control of her [[Inner Beast]], she sends Wyrnzoen, her fellow guildmates and Curious Gorge flying into the water. After the battle, he leaves Dorgono in their care, hoping they can help her master her Inner Beast and return to her tribe.

{{Section-stub|reason=Citations needed for lore references}}

===Lore===
Widargelt, originally born Theodred, is the estranged nephew of the mad [[King Theodoric]]{{Citation needed}}. When the king began killing his family off to ensure his reign, Widargelt was hidden at [[the Temple of the Fist]], where he was raised as a [[Monk]], unaware of his royal heritage.

Widargelt is hired by [[Erik]], a historian researching the military history of [[Eorzea]]. Craving the power to liberate his homeland, [[Ala Mhigo]], he used the opportunity to expose himself to the aether swirling around the battlefields to open his Chakra. He met the [[Warrior of Light]] at the ruins of [[Sil'dih]] when they managed to awaken a Chakra. Recognizing their potential, Widargelt entrusted them with a [[Soul Crystal]] to help hone their skills.

When progress is slow thanks to Erik's methodology, Widargelt attempted to rush things by attacking the Warrior of Light so the aether of Lake Silvertear could awaken their Chakra. Through the battle, the Warrior of Light did indeed manage to awaken their Chakra, however Erik admonished Widargelt heavily for the unnecessary violence.

As Widargelt grew and became stronger, having learned from his mistakes, he sought to bring the techniques of the Fist of Rhalgr to the people of Eorzea. He began building a temple in [[Mor Dhona]], and took on new pupils. However, it turned out that the two pupils, D'zentsa and O'tchakha were already members of the Fist of Rhalgr, trained under [[H'raha Tia]], a brutal master who sought to teach others to open Chakra beyond the seventh. Having opened all fourteen, he is the only Monk to do so, but his training involves mortal combat. Because of this, the two young pupils sought Widargelt out to confront H'raha.

Widargelt decided that the only way they may stand against H'raha was by banding together and fighting as one. O'tchakha, the Warrior of Light and Widargelt confronted H'raha outside of the ruins of Little Ala Mhigo where he held D'zentsa captive. Though Widargelt attempted to persuade him to join them instead, he refused and chose to attack instead. In that moment, the Warrior of Light unlocked their fourteenth Chakra and blocked the attack. Now on a level playing field, the group manage to defeat H'raha, and Widargelt swore to find the shadow sects of the surviving Fist of Rhalgr members and bring them back to the light.

Following the [[Ala Mhigan Resistance]] inviting Widargelt to join them and his eventual refusal, he decided that it was time for him to return home and attempt to revive the Fist of Rhalgr in [[Gyr Abania]]. He invites[[Hamon Holyfist]] of the [[Pugilist's Guild]] and his pupils to an exhibition match to generate interest in his art, but is interrupted by Theobald, the supposed son of King Theodoric, and body double for [[The Griffin]]. He warns Widargelt against atempting to revive the Fist of Rhalgr, and declares himself the rightful ruler of Ala Mhigo. When Widargelt refuses to stand down, it is revealed that Theobald is not the son of Theodoric, nor is his name even Theobald, but [[Adri]]. Adri, following his home of the temple being destroyed by Theodoric's men, came to believe that blood matters more than training or anything else, and that was why the supposed strongest Monks were defeated so easily. Widargelt refutes that he is only powerful because he is related to Theodoric, claiming himself to be Widargelt of the Fist of Rhalgr, and nothing more or less. In the clash, Adri and his men are defeated.

Some time later, Widargelt finds Adri's corpse, apparently having been slain fighting against the [[Corpse Brigade]]. He buried his friend in Little Ala Mhigo. He is invited to The Temple of the Fist by [[Lyse Hext]], who requests that he train her and the other members of the Ala Mhigan military in the art of the Fist of Rhalgr.

Temple Attire: The religious habit of the Fist of Rhalgr, made entirely on the temple grounds. The cloth is loomed by monks, the thread spun from the cocoons of remarkable worms unknown to naturalists but which arise in great numbers in the temple seolc-house. Every stitch is half as wide as its wearer's little fingernail, and it is said that the result forms a holy geometry to further open one's chakras. 
Tantra Attire: Only elders in the Fist of Rhalgr are permitted to don this attire. Though the thread used in its creation is the same as that woven into the standard temple habit, the veteran monks looming the tantra cloth imbue each stitch with concentrated energy, resulting in a significantly higher rate of aetherial conductivity. A monk's chakras are thus greatly expanded when swathed in such material, but without the training required to moderate the excessive outpouring of aether, an unseasoned wearer would bleed out his entire life essence in a matter of moments. 
[[Sphairai]]: A pair of Sphairai cunningly wrought in the form of coeurls. The sweat of Ivon Coeurlfist and blood of his enemies anoint these ever-snarling beasts of hide and metal. Perhaps the most famed of the warrior monks of the Fist of Rhalgr, Ivon is said to have eschewed the training grounds of the main temple in favor of martial congress with wild coeurls. 
[[Rising Suns]]: These ornate weapons cover the entire fist, the radial pattern of their spikes lending the impression of a dawning sun's lancing rays. The origin of the Rising Suns' name, however, is not found in their design alone. Forged from a delicate balance of mythril and silver, the spikes act as conduits, conveying and radiating the energies focused in the monk's fists. A master practitioner equipped with these weapons is capable of emitting blinding levels of aether, each blow falling with terrible, incandescent force.

==Additional Information==
{{see also|Field Notes on Velibor}}
While [[Velibor]] uses a [[The Lost]] model, he is named like a [[Helion]].
===Lore===
Velibor is a direct descendant of the founders of the [[Verdant Path]], a school that trains its students in every martial skill imaginable, from long and short-range weapons to hand-to-hand combat and close range fighting styles. Though this school once allied itself with the [[Garlean Empire]] when they invaded in order to save the lives of its students, when Velibor's father became the master of the school, it aligned itself with the [[Bozjan Resistance]], training its troops to be masters of combat.

It is here that Velibor met his cousin, [[Blaz]] Azetina, who he eventually came to consider his brother. The two were exceptional at swordplay, forming a friendly rivalry, and even creating new combat techniques. After the Verdant Path formally entered into the Resistance, Velibor joined the frontlines, eventually earning himself a place as one of the [[Blades of Gunnhildr]]. Together, he and Blaz cut an imposing figure on the battlefield, mowing down any who would stand against them.

Velibor and Blaz both took part in the operaiton against the forces guarding [[Castrum Lacus Litore]], until they were confronted by the traitor [[Misija]] wielding the ancient weapon [[Save the Queen]], a blade that held the latent power and memories of [[Queen Gunnhildr]]. Forcing the [[Warrior of Light]] and [[Mikoto]] to use the power of [[the Echo]] to enter the blade's memories, she tampered with them and took their power for her own. Misija then used the blade to call on the Queen as a [[Primal]] and Tempered several of the Blades of Gunnhildr, Velibor and Blaz amongst them. Eventually their aether was twisted and they merged to form a horrific monster that guarded the [[Delubrum Reginae]], and was laid to rest by the Warrior of Light.

A former member of the [[Company of Heroes]], U'odh made a name for himself as a mercenary before being brought into the Company. He, alongside his fellow Heroes, handled the [[Primal]] threat in [[Vylbrand]]. After the Company was disbanded, U'odh was chosen as one of those who would judge any tha would uphold their mission in the future, and pass on their knowledge. He went on to defeat the nunh of the [[U Tribe]] and become its leader.

When the [[Kobold]]s summoned [[Titan]] again, [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]] and the [[Warrior of Light]] sought out the former members of the Company of Heroes to learn what they could about Titan and how they went about defeating him. To judge their character, [[Wheiskaet]] sent the Warrior of Light to U'odh to assist in gathering ingredients for an important feast. U'odh charges them with hunting a Wellwick Worm for their meat. With the hunt completed, he sends the Warrior of Light back to [[Costa del Sol]] with a bottle of brandewine for Wheiskaet, indicating he approved of the Warrior and the Scions. U'odh would later join the banquet, which it turned out was in honor of the Warrior of Light before heading into battle. He, along with the other Heroes, pass on their knowledge to the Scions so they may defeat Titan.

Later, when the [[Final Days]] were upon [[Eorzea]], U'odh and the Company of Heroesaided in both hunting the [[Blasphemy|Blasphemies]] that ran amok as well as preventing the [[Sahagin]] from summoning [[Leviathan]] again. U'odh held off the Crushing Tide when they attacked [[Candlekeep Quay]] while the Warrior of Light and [[Merlwyb]] hunted the Blasphemy in [[Sastasha]].

She is a rare person, having both excellent knowledge of her art and far greater patience than most others of twenty-nine years. A true teacher, the Sea Wolf woman may be found tutoring children in their letters when off duty.

==Additional Information==
Thubyrgeim Guldweitzwyn's name means "Magic Jewel" and "Gold Wheat's daughter," respectively, in the [[Languages/Roegadyn Dictionary|traditional Roegadyn language]].

===Lore===
Acting as the guildmaster of the [[Arcanist]]s guild until their true master returns, she works hard to ensure each member is trained properly to use their spells and pushing them to challenge themselves to master other spells so they may become proficient in using arcanima. She inducts the Warrior of Light into the guild when they give a straight-forward answer about whether or not they are ready to join. After some time and practice, she introduces them to [[K'lyhia]], another arcanist who, though bizarre, has seemed to master the skills of arcanima. She regularly assigns duties to the Warrior of Light so they may grow stronger, both physically and mentally, believing that "one can not have sound thoughts without a sound body".

When K'lyhia seemingly disappears out of nowhere, she sends the Warrior of Light to find her, noting that it may have had something to do with her interaction with [[Doesmaga]], the dread pirate who once held her as a slave. Thubyrgeim sends the Warrior of Light to retrieve K'lyhia's tome from a [[Qiqirn]] merchant that fished the pirate's black market goods from the sea, believing that having it back may help the young [[Miqo'te]] return to herself. She also joins the fray to support the foreseer, fighting by her pupil's side to make sure they succeed in their recovery mission. When it turns out the [[Grimoire]] is ruined beyond repair, she asks the other members of the group to give K'lyhia time to process her loss.

To aid in K'lyhia's recovery, Thubyrgeim sends the Warrior of Light to hunt down the real guildmaster, in the hopes that he may be able to assuage her pain. She tells them that he has finally surfaced and she does not like the timing of the "coincidence", but that he may deign to speak with them. After their return and K'lyhia's spirits brightening once again, she dispatches them on a mission to confront Doesmaga once and for all, accompanying K'lyhia, hopefully helping her expel her demons for good. After the successful mission, she thanks the Warrior of Light and urges them to continue their training as an Arcanist.

The seventy-four year old Archbishop Thordan VII came from modest origins, the son of a lesser house pledged to House Durendaire. A lover of traditional Coerthan cooking, in his youth, he studied swordplay, and perhaps could have achieved moderate success within high society. However, as the youngest of five, he stood to inherit little, and so with his parents' endorsement he entered Saint Endalim's Scholasticate. He graduated as one of the Trinity and successfully entered into the service of the Holy See, and was quick to take part in the power struggles inside the Vault. 
As he grew more successful and influential, he gradually rose within the clergy's hierarchy until he was named a bishop in his forty and second year. However, it was also at this time that he was rumored to have broken his vow of celibacy and fathered a child with a lover. Well aware that such a scandal could be used as a weapon by his political rivals, he made every effort to suppress them until after he was elected archbishop. 
The Fury's Grace: Symbol of the leader of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church and sovereign of the Holy See, this holy crozier has been handed down to each archbishop. Embedded in its center is a rare sapphire of ultramarine hue, known as the Frozen Tear. The staff was so named for the legend that it was bestowed upon Archbishop Reymanaud I by a divine messenger of Halone.

===Lore===
Following the defeat of the [[Garlean Empire|Garleans]] at [[the Praetorium]], the [[Ascians]] turned to [[Ishgard]] and Thordan, offering him power to bring an end to the [[Dragonsong War]] through the power of summoning. Though Thordan was loath to work alongside them, he pretended to ally himself with them, so he may take their power and dispose of them later.

When the [[Warrior of Light]] appears in Ishgard and participates in a trial of combat to protect [[Tataru Taru]], Thordan called them before him to apologize for the rashness of the [[Heavens' Ward]], and explains that the Ascians had made contact with him, and explained what they had offered him. The Warrior of Light and [[Alphinaud Leveilleur]] left his throne room, not certain if he was their ally or not.

Later, when the Warrior of Light returned to the city following an attempt to parley with [[Hraesvelgr]] and failing, [[Aymeric de Borel]] came before Thordan to question him about whether he knew about the origins of the Dragonsong War or not. Fearing the change to their way of life this knowledge would bring, he threw Aymeric into the cells beneath [[The Vault]]. The Warrior of Light comes to Aymeric's rescue and attempts to corner Thordan, but he escapes on his [[Airship]] headed for [[Azys Lla]] after his knights, using a [[Primal]] power obtained from summoning the original Knights Twelve into themselves, killed [[Haurchefant]].

Thordan waits for the Warrior of Light to obtain the key to [[Azys Lla]] before ambushing them and stealing the key for himself and moving past the barrier around the floating city. Eventually the Warrior of Light manages to pursue him and his knights to [[The Aetherochemical Research Facility]], where they defeat one of the two Ascians who ambush them there. Thordan appears with the coffin of [[Haldrath]], the original Thordan's son, and reveals [[Nidhogg]]'s other eye was buried with him after it consumed and destroyed him. He uses the power of the eye to summon [[King Thordan]] within himself, and wields the sword Ascalon to kill and absorb [[Lahabrea]], becoming even stronger.

He tells the Warrior of Light that he intends to "mete out justice" as he sees fit and become the god-king, ruling over all, and any who stand in his way would meet his blade. He offers the Warrior of Light the chance to join him or face him in combat. When the Warrior draws their weapon, he summons his [[Knights Twelve]] and engages them in combat. After a long and brutal battle, the Warrior of Light felled the god-king, bringing an end to the lies of the [[Holy See]].

Also known as '''The Thirteenth''', it is what remains of the thirteenth reflection of [[Hydaelyn|The Source]], allegedly due to mistakes made by the [[Ascians]] following [[the Sundering]]. Similar to [[The First]], the [[element]]al balance of The Thirteenth's [[aether]] was tipped towards a specific element—in this case, Darkness—which caused the world to be overwhelmed by Darkness-aspected aether. This cataclysm of Darkness completely destroyed the world, rendering it devoid of life, and twisting the survivors into aether-starved creatures now known as [[Voidsent]].
__TOC__
==About==
{{quotation|[[The_Unending_Codex#The_Void|The Unending Codex § The Void]]|The Thirteenth was once strikingly similar to the Source, albeit possessed of its own unique history─much as might be said of any other reflection. Tragedy arrived, however, when Ascians enveloped the lands in Darkness in their attempt to shatter the barrier between the worlds and force a Rejoining. The first step of their machinations involved sharing the secrets of primal summoning and instigating wars of conquest. Heroes possessed of preternatural talents came forth to do battle, employing an art that sealed the primals away in crystal “memoria.” They then drew on the memoria's power to tip the balance and quell the conflicts for good, but from these champions arose new tyrants, intoxicated by the strength they now wielded. One by one, the heroes fell, the tides turned, and the catastrophic shift in aetherial equilibrium triggered a Flood of Darkness. Yet even greater disaster was to come when the Ascians' Rejoining failed to channel the surfeit of Darkness unto the Source. Having nowhere else to which it could escape, these energies surged and swelled until it engulfed the Thirteenth entirely, transforming every living being on the star into twisted fiends. All that was left was a grasping void, where even the surcease of death was denied its inhabitants. Ever since this inundation of Darkness, the veil separating worlds has been notably thinner between the Source and the void, more so than with any other reflection. Forging a passage via natural fissures or man-made gates is comparatively simple, and voidsent incursions─be they the result of deliberate summonings or otherwise─are a frequent occurrence.}}
Though the Thirteenth was not sent careening into the [[Hydaelyn|Source]], the barriers between the two were severely weakened, even breaking from time to time, allowing passage from both sides. The [[Allagan Empire]] were able to take advantage of this by creating a way to open their own tears in the walls between in order to bring through the [[Voidsent]] and make a pact with a high ranking ruler of '''the Void'''—the [[Cloud of Darkness]]—to turn the tides of their war in exchange for [[aether]]. Millenia later, the [[Mhach]] used their [[Black Mage|magic]] to open gates to the Void, however they were able to control the Voidsent and use them more effectively for their war. There are other instances of people on [[Eorzea]] using magic to access or enter the Void, however it almost always ends up with a Voidsent taking advantage of an overconfident mage and wreaking havoc.

==Lore==
===Void Magic===
Entering into the Void is incredibly dangerous for any living being, [[Voidsent]] aside. The realm is so barren of [[aether]] that the Darkness itself will attack any living organism and slowly erode it until the being is completely consumed. This phenomenon was observed by [[Nero tol Scaeva]] when he accidentally entered the Void while trying to save the clones of [[Doga]] and [[Unei]]. The longer he was in the Void, the more and more his health and strength deteriorated. He only narrowly managed to escape by breaking the grip the Darkness held on him and exiting through a gate.

===Culture===
Within the Void, there seem to be several hierarchies based on the strength of the Voidsent, with the strongest beings at the top and acting as ruler over the lesser, weaker beings. It is believed that any being strong enough can rise through the ranks, although the chances of the Voidsent surviving and reaching a place of power are incredibly slim. Interestingly, the weaker of the Voidsent are the ones who are able to pass through the barrier to the [[Hydaelyn|Source]] much easier than the beings who are larger or stronger.

===Laws of Rebirth===
Within the Void, death does not occur in the same way it occurs on the Source or its other shards, due to the heavy imbalance of Darkness-aspected [[aether]]. Instead, when an entity ''would'' die, the aether composing the entity's flesh and soul are scattered into the ambient aether, allowing other nearby entities to "devour" it, thus absorbing the entity it once belonged to, body and soul.<ref>In-game, "The Never-Ending Journey", Cutscene dialogue during Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest "Where Everything Begins" SCARMIGLIONE:'' "Fools. Death doesn't exist in this world. And I-I am free to return whensoever I please."'' Y'SHTOLA: ''"Death doesn't exist...? Of course! In the first, the power of Light—of passivity—prevents life from emerging in the empty. But in the Thirteenth, the power of Darkness—of activity—prevents life from finding rest, even should soul be separated from flesh."''</ref><ref>During Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Nowhere to Run" ZERO: ''"Were this a world where the wheel of life and death still turned, the soul wouldn't linger so stubbornly. In time, it would return to the great flow. But there's no such end here."''</ref>

Devouring the aether of other beings allows Voidsent to sate their constant hunger<ref>During Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Nowhere to Run", ZERO: ''"But all must answer to the hunger, and seek out prey when they need aether."''</ref>, heal physical wounds, and implicitly gain greater power. However, it may also affect the devourer's sense of self, which may make it difficult for the entity to maintain its form, or reform itself after death.<ref>During Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Nowhere to Run", ZERO: ''"While physical wounds can be healed by replenishing one's aether, you can't preserve your form if you lose sight of yourself. Such is the risk inherent in consuming another's soul. It dilutes your sense of self. Alters you inside and out."''</ref> The more souls a Voidsent devours, the stronger they become, but the harder it also gets for them to maintain their sense of self. Entities that become too large risk breaking apart into separate voidsent upon death; this is prescribed as the reason the [[Cloud of Darkness]] has not regenerated since being defeated by the [[Warrior of Light]] during the [[Crystal Tower]] Raid series. <ref> During Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Groping in the Dark", ZERO:''"There are circumstances in which we're unable to return." ... "The more you devour, the more powerful you grow. But in the process, your essence is blended with those of your prey." "If you were to lose your flesh, the souls you had come to harbor may break free and coalesce into distinct voidsent once more." "And before you yourself return, your own soul might be devoured by your enemies or your erstwhile prey. A fate more likely for stronger beings, who require more time to regenerate." "However, even assuming you survive the process, it's highly uncommon to return as you were."''</ref> The behavior of the devourer may also change, if they find themselves influenced by the residual consciousness, and thus emotions, of their absorbed prey.<ref>During Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Nowhere to Run", ZERO: ''"When you're eaten, your essence is blended with that of your devourer. And though you have no control, your consciousness in part endures."''</ref>

===Eidolons===
{{see also|Primals}}
<ref>In-game cutscene dialogue, during Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Buried Memory", ZERO: ''"Then you have faced the same, and understand that when an eidolon is birthed, strife follows, and in such strife, the weak are the first to suffer."''</ref>

===Memoria===
[[File:Memoriate.png|250px|thumb|A Memoriate]]
''Memoria'' is the name of a magic that can seal away aether-based beings, by permanently<ref>In-game cutscene dialogue, during Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Buried Memory", VARSHAHN: ''"Memoria", Scarmiglione called them."'' ZERO: ''"Aye—their use was central to the Contramemoria, hence its name. And to my knowledge, the transformation is permanent."''</ref> transforming their aether into what is called a Memoria Crystal.
People who can wield this power are known as Memoriates, and were rare in number, similar to wielders of [[The Echo]]. <ref>In-game cutscene dialogue, during Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Buried Memory", ZERO: ''"When it seemed the world would be plunged into chaos, heroes appeared—they who were blessed with a singular power. The power to bind the aether of eidolons within crystals known as memoria."'' ZERO: ''"My mother was one such memoriate. But in fighting to save many, she herself was touched by Darkness—as was I."''</ref> As of [[Patch 6.2]], [[Zero]] is the only known Memoriate to have survived to the present day.

===History of the Thirteenth===
====The Contramemoria====
As of [[Patch 6.2]], all that we yet know about the destruction of the Thirteenth is that it was preceded by a terrible war, known as The Contramemoria, during which ''Memoriate'' heroes used the power of ''Memoria'' to save the world from chaos by subduing ''[[Primals|eidolons]]'' and their summoners. <ref>In-game cutscene dialogue, during Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Where Everything Begins" ZERO: ''"This is where I belong. My home. This endless darkness you call the void... There once was light here, and it shone its warmth upon creation. The lands were green and the seas were blue. Life flourished. Before the war. The Contramemoria.''"</ref> These heroes were temporarily successful in restoring peace to the Thirteenth, but eventually, some unknown number of Memoriates became "seduced by the Darkness they had sealed," and abandoned their original goal in favor of spreading the darkness to further their own ambitions. <ref>In-game cutscene dialogue, during Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Buried Memory", VARSHAHN: ''"How exactly did that calamity come to pass? Did the memoriates not triumph?"'' ZERO: ''"They did. They expunged the seeds of chaos and restored the peace...only to find themselves seduced by the Darkness they had sealed. They spread the taint, transforming men into monsters—what you call voidsent—and raised armies to wage new wars."'' </ref>

====The Flood of Darkness====
These rogue Memoriates waged their wars for an unclear amount of time, turning innocent people into Voidsent soldiers to wage wars against each other, until finally the aetheric balance was so tilted that it triggered a Flood of Darkness. <ref>In-game cutscene dialogue, during Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Buried Memory", ZERO: ''"Some defied corruption and held fast to the Light, my mother and I among them. For years and years we fought, but it was not enough. And when our strength was spent, our bulwarks broken, so too was the world."'' Y'SHTOLA: ''"The Flood of Darkness."'' (ZERO nods her head)</ref> This cataclysm, in a similar manner to the [[Flood of Light]] on [[The First]], destroyed the world in a deluge of dark-aspected aether, sending it into a permanent state of night, and rendering it devoid of life and features.
<ref>In-game cutscene dialogue, during Main Scenario (Endwalker) Quest, "Buried Memory", ZERO: ''"The stars faded from the heavens as a pall black as pitch enveloped creation. Darkness raged unchecked, rending the very walls of reality. I was cast into the rift, and there trapped for what felt like an eternity. Until I came upon a crack. Tiny, infinitesimal—but enough for me to squeeze through...And find my world changed beyond recognition. Into the lightless waste you saw."''</ref>

==Bosses==
Owing to its lack of an ilvl sync, players are often able to skip noteable mechanics on several bosses, such as Mateus' Ultimate Phase.
{{evt|service=youtube|id=Zi99W7ejtz8|dimensions=350|align=right|description=Video Guide}}
===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|32px|link=]] [[Mateus, the Corrupt]]===
This boss has a number of distinct phases. Once you've memorized the pattern, you'll always know what happens next.
Before pulling, mark the arena with gather points for each alliance. One goes due north, one south-west and one south-east.

'''All phases''':
When adds are up, they need to be killed. No exceptions. He starts the fight with several Ice Azers already spawned; they need to be taken out or they'll detonate and leave ice puddles that will hurt you later.

'''Unbind -> White Whisper'''
* When Mateus casts Unbind, gather up on your alliance's marker.
* Your first priority is the nearest Aqua Sphere. It needs to pop before the ice dancer gets to it, or you'll have trouble later.
* Each player should gather two of the blue orbs that appear during this phase, then stand ''off'' of the spiraling ice track to avoid getting frozen.
* The water pillars will turn into Blizzard III pillars if the ice dancer touches them. ''If three players stand in them, they will disappear.''
* Any Blizzard III pillars that form need to be destroyed ASAP, or the players tethered to it will turn into snowmen once Mateus's cast of White Whisper completes.

'''Rebind -> Dualcast -> Blizzard III + Blizzard IV'''
* If you did the mechanics correctly, there will be at least one safe spot to stand. Run there during the proximity AoE warnings to avoid dying.
* Healers should prepare large AoE heals to go off after the blizzards land.

'''Suffocation Phase'''
* Flume Toads need to die ASAP.
* Arena-wide effect causes everyone to get gradually increasing stacks of {{status effect|debuff|File:Breathless icon2.png}} '''Breathless'''. If the stacks hit 10, you die, no exceptions.
* Each toad drops an air pocket on death, run through those pockets to drop your {{status effect|debuff|File:Breathless icon2.png}} '''Breathless''' stack to 0.
* Several players will be targeted for line AoE attacks, keep those lines from intersecting the air pockets to avoid popping them.

'''Ultimate Phase'''
* Several players will be tethered by ice orbs that will slowly drift toward the tethered player.
** Don't let them touch you, or you'll die.
** Keep the tether line pointed away from the raid to avoid hitting people with the narrow cone AoEs the orbs periodically cast.
* As in phase 1, the Ice Azers need to be killed, while avoiding their AoE bursts.
* Three Azure Guards will spawn, tank them away from each other or they'll tether to each other and become stronger.
* Kill the Azure Guards before Mateus's Aether bar fills up or you'll wipe.

He repeats the phases in order from this point until killed or wipe.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|32px|link=]] [[Hashmal, Bringer of Order]]===
Before pull, place gather markers for each alliance: one south, one northwest, one northeast. ''Stick with your alliance!'' This fight is far less forgiving than the previous one.

'''Boss Abilities'''
*'''Quake IV''' - Raid-wide AoE, heal through.
*'''Jagged Edge''' - Red circles that target and follow a random player, avoid and keep moving until they stop appearing.
*'''Falling Rocks''' - Circle AoE, avoid.
*'''Rock Cutter''' - Heavy tankbuster, use mitigation cooldown.
*'''Extreme Edge''' - Boss appears on eastern or western edge of arena with one arm on fire and flies across, burning everything on the flaming side. Look to see whether the north or south side is getting burned, and move to avoid. {{item icon|Sprint}} is strongly recommended.
*'''Earth Hammer''' - Proximity AoE, look for where the hammers spawn and move to the opposite side of the arena.
*'''Control Tower''' - Towers spawn and then drop when Hashmal cuts them; any players caught underneath die.
*'''Command Tower''' - Big tower rises out of the centre of the arena to lift Hashmal; avoid.
*'''Submission Tower''' - Drops towers in a Y-shaped pattern that leave behind flames; players running through get a persistent {{status effect|burns}} '''[[Burns]]''' effect.
*'''Landwaster''' - Ultimate. If Hashmal's mana bar is full when this casts, it's a guaranteed wipe.
*'''Summon''' - Summons two golems that grow over time; kill them ASAP.
*'''Demolish''' - Empowers and enlarges golems with each cast.
*'''To Dust''' - Spawns three Sand Spheres that will explode for massive damage if not killed in time.

'''Fight Sequence'''
* Quake IV + Jagged Edge
* Control Tower, watch for where he cuts them and move to avoid
* Extreme Edge, move towards the centre and be ready to run for safety
** Remember, fire = bad. Run away from the fire!
* Quake IV + Earth Hammer, move to avoid
* Rock Cutter, MT use mitigation
* Command Tower spawns, move out of centre to avoid damage
* Move to your alliance's sector while avoiding AoEs
* To Dust; kill Sand Spheres before cast completes
* Destroy the Command Tower before his Mana bar fills to avoid a wipe
* Landwaster, healers prepare big raid heals
* Two pairs of Control Towers, one after the other. Jagged Edge targets a raid member during this, move to avoid
* Extreme Edge + Jagged Edge; run for safe zone while avoiding AoEs
* 2x Quake IV
* Rock Cutter
* 2x Earth Hammer, move away
* Summon + Rock Cutter, get ready to DPS down adds while Tanks & Healers mitigate
* Burn down Golems ASAP; Caster/Ranged LB3 useful here
* Quake IV
* Submission Tower; move to your sectors!
* To Dust; kill Sand Spheres before cast completes
* Extreme Edge + Falling Rocks; run to safe zone, then spread to minimize damage once he passes

At this point, his abilities become semi-random. He usually uses Extreme Edge after Control Tower, so be ready for that. If you don't kill him before the second set of golems appear, you'll probably wipe.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|32px|link=]] [[Rofocale]]===

The Area could be divided into back (point of entrance) -> front (opposite, behind Rofocale's spawn point) and left (seen from the point of entrance) -> right.

'''Phase 1:'''

At around 75% HP Rofocale will give a little speech: 

'' I walk the shadows. You will not see me until my lance has transfixed your very soul.''

He then will retreat and 5 copies of him will charge the area. Watch where those copies spawn. Safe spots will be at the right side of the first and left of the last copy. 
At around 55% - 60% HP Rofocale will do the same move again. 
That move is probably rather time-based. But he will likely do it two times in phase 1.

'''Phase 2:'''

After the second split (around 55% HP), three Archaeodemons will spawn. The spawn points are at the triangle points around Rofocale's spawn point. That is, 1 behind the spawn and 2 and 3 left/right of the point of entrance, around the two circular floor patterns.

Aetherial Acceleration will be accumulated as long as the three adds are alive.

Each group must kill one of the Archaeodemons. The area around it will be shielded, so the other groups can't help. Think The World of Darkness - Cloud of Darkness: the 3 cloud adds.

Rofocale will circle the area. Getting hit by him will inflict damage and a knockback.

This phase will end if:

#All three Archaeodemons are dead; or
#Aetherial Acceleration has reached 100.

At the end of phase 2, Rofocale will continue to circle the area and slowly ride up into the air. At the highest point he will execute ''Heavenly Subjugation'' and inflict damage according to the Aetherial Acceleration meter. 
One can avoid most of the damage by running to the sides of the area. 
At 100 Aetherial Acceleration, this will be a wipe. Not only will the damage be higher, the charge will also cover a wider area. 

''' Phase 3:'''

Trample will now be followed by Cry of Victory. 

New Abilities: ''Embrace'', ''Pomp and Circumstance'' and ''Dark Geas''. 

Copies of Rofocale will charge the middle of the area. Safe spots are left/right. 

Dark Geas will be followed by 5 copies of Rofocale charging the area. Safe spots are according to the spawn of the first/last copy. 

'''Rofocale Abilities'''

*'''Crush Helm:''' Tank buster.

*'''Chariot:''' Target a random player and charge toward. Stay close to Rofocale because Cry of Victory will follow.

*'''Cry of Victory:''' A large cone shaped AoE, may cover most of the area. Follows Chariot or in phase 3 also Trample. Will deal moderate damage but inflict 1 stack of {{status effect|vulnerability up}} '''[[Vulnerability Up]]'''.

*'''Crush Weapon:''' Places AoE circles under some random players.

*'''Trample:''' Performs a roundtrip in a figure 8 or infinity. Safe zone is in the middle of upper/lower part of the 8 or outside of it. Will inflict serious damage, knockback and 1 stack of {{status effect|damage down}} '''[[Damage Down]]'''.

*'''Pomp and Circumstance:''' Large proximity AoE, placed under Rofocale. Will deal moderate damage.

*'''Embrace:''' Places bluish circular AoE around the area, indicating a tendril-like AoE. Getting hit by this will apply a root for 8s and deal a small amount of damage. Mind that the effective AoE radius will be larger than the initial circle.

*'''Dark Geas:''' Rofocale will retreat and place a number of small Dark Circles around the area. Stand close to one and 'activate' it. During this time the raid will be inflicted with a {{status effect|bleeding}} '''[[Bleeding]]''' debuff. There is a time limit, in which all Dark Circles must be deactivated.

* '''Heavenly Subjugation:''' Ultimate ability. Executed based on the Aetherial Acceleration meter. Run to the sides of the area and avoid most of the damage. At 100 points of Aetherial Acceleration it will deal 300,000 point of damage. As it seems, this damage can not be mitigated.

''' Add'''

* '''Archaeodemon:'''
** ''Ability''- Unholy Darkness: Large circular AoE.
** ''Ability''- Karma: Large cone AoE.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|32px|link=]] [[Argath Thadalfus]]===

The fight could be separated into 3 main phases:

* '''Phase 1:''' ''Pre-Emptiness''
* '''Phase 2:''' ''Emptiness''
* '''Phase 3:''' ''Post-Emptiness''

Argath Thadalfus gives a little speech: 

''I am the truth from which you run!'' 

This marks one of the main mechanics of the fight. Argath Thadalfus will either wear the divine or the demon face. The divine face is a white face, the demon face a bluish/black face with red eyes. Argath will also have buff icons according to the face. The important point is to do ''exactly'' as the command demands if he is wearing the divine and the ''opposite'' if he is wearing the demon face.

''Emptiness'': Watch the Emptiness meter - if the ''Shards of Emptiness'' are not destroyed in time, this will reach 100 and you will wipe.

Do '''''not''''' touch the outer edge of the area, if it is glowing bluish. It would apply a''Transfiguration'' debuff that will kill the player.

In phase 3, the second ''Gnawing Dread'' will be followed by Argath retreating and making the area a death zone. There will be a small circular safe area. Mind that you can only run into the direction of the arrow. 
Argath will then jump back and use ''Soulfix''.

'''Abilities'''

* '''Crush Weapon:''' Places AoE circles under players.

* '''Soulfix:''' PBAoE around Argath.

* '''Fire IV:''' Area wide moderate AoE.

* '''Crippling Blow:''' Tank buster, significant damage.

* '''Trepidation:''' Places meteor-like circles around the area. Have one (1) player stand in each one (small damage to the player) or suffer moderate area wide AoE damage.

* '''Unrelenting:''' Five cone shaped AoEs with safe zones between them. Always face this AoE away from the MT. Getting hit by this will apply a ''Crave'' debuff. Think confusion or similar.

* '''Judgment Blade:''' Places four square AoE marker around the area (more in phase 3). Do not step in them or suffer a strong {{status effect|bleeding}} '''[[Bleeding]]''' debuff. Two players will be marked with blueish swords. After a few seconds, those player will drop AoEs, that will fire large line-shaped AoEs crosswise. ''Suggestion:'' Drop the marker in the middle.

==Lore==
{{Quotation|Game Description|After a failed uprising against its imperial rulers, the Dalamscan capital of Rabanastre suffered a violenty destructive reprisal. In a fateful twist, the attack intended to leave the city in ruins served to reveal the ancient remnants heretofore concealed below.}}
__NOTOC__
===Crumbling Bridge===
A stone thoroughfare leading to the city's main gate, this structure was built to bear the weight of several dozen carriages crossing at the same time. Its sturdiness, however, was no protection against the explosive firepower of the Empire's gunships, and the loss of this escape route resulted in substantial casualties amongst the capital's residents.

===Muthru Bazaar===
This market Square inside the entrance to Rabanastre was once filled with bustling stalls. Caravans arriving in the royal capital would conduct their initial business here, unloading crates and other heavy cargo, as merchants set to depart the city packed their carts and wagons with goods for the road ahead.

===Palace Square===
An expansive plaza stretching out before the palace, this site was reserved for royal weddings, military parades, and other such public events. When the palace chambers were commandeered by the imperial viceroy, however, the square become home to a contingent of watchful Garlean soldiers.

===North End===
Rabanastre's residential district. Once awash with the colorful awnings of street-side shops selling inexpensive goods or tavern fare, the Garlean occupation saw the ward emptied and renovated for the exclusive use of imperial citizens.

===Garamsythe Waterway===
Stretching far below the streets of Rabanastre, this channel was constructed to carry in water from its source in the Skatay Range to the north. The lattice-like architecture of the waterway is confusing to navigate, and those who lose their sense of direction find it all but impossible to find their way out again.

===Lesalia Garden Ruins===
These ruins of an ancient civilization were discovered deep beneath the earth. Jenomis cen Lexentale, the man who discovered them, insists they are the remnants of the legendary Lesalia, the royal capital of Ivalice, but thorough archeological surveys have yet to be conducted to substantiate his claims.

===Lesalia Temple Ruins===
Thought to be a monument to the gods of eld, the true nature of this timeworn but impressive edifice-and the religion once practiced within-remains an enigma. Academics eagerly await for calm to prevail in Dalmasca that they might attempt a more accurate appraisal.

===Additional Information===
The Royal City of Rabanastre was once the capital city of [[Dalmasca]], referred to as the Jewel of the Desert or the Desert Sapphire. The city acted as a hub for trade, and was known for its hordes of luxurious treasures from different lands all over. The city has been referred to as antediluvian meaning it most likely stood since at least before the [[Calamity of Water]] over fifteen hundred years ago. Due to the city being so old, it is implied that the B'nargin royal line were not the first rulers of Dalmasca.

After the [[Garlean Empire]] invaded and conquered Dalmasca, it was ruled by [[Noah van Gabranth]] for over thirty years. Following the liberation of both [[Ala Mhigo]] and [[Doma]], many nations under the Empire's heel were roused to action, one of them being Rabanastre. However, as a show of force to dissuade other kingdoms and nations from continuing their uprising, the Garlean Empire obliterated the city, completely wiping it out, even though it acted as a major fuel source for their army. This action ended up causing a historic revelation, as it was revealed that Rabanastre was built upon the Lesalia Ruins, confirming that [[Ivalice]] was in fact a real kingdom long ago.

==Dialogue==
===Duty Dialogue===
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' Before us lies the Royal City. My father is somewhere inside. I can feel it.
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' These are no ordinary birds!
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' Something foul prevents our crossing. Ware its numbing breath!

'''Mateus the Corrupt:''' You do not fear me!? You will!
'''Mateus the Corrupt:''' Rise dark water, and grant me stregnth!
'''Mateus the Corrupt:''' Goddess of ice, be my blade!
'''Mateus the Corrupt:''' Living shield, protect me from evil!
'''Mateus the Corrupt:''' Freeze, dark waters! Steel my body! Steel my resolve!
'''Mateus the Corrupt:''' Let the ichor flow. Let it birth the mire that will drown mine enemies!
'''Mateus the Corrupt:''' Fools! You have not...yet seen...the limit of my reach...

'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' Cid was not mistaken in his assessment of your skill in battle. Still, I worry that something even more sinister awaits us ahead.
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' Seeq bandits! It appears the deplorable creatures are here to raid abandoned homes.
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' My father mentioned the Empire using their might to put down rebellions within the city, but this destruction is too widespread. What if that creature we fought earlier...
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' Another of the twisted "others"! This is not the work of the Empire. Something is wrong here.

'''Hashmal, Bringer of Order:''' Without order, creation is doomed to descend into chaos. I bring that order. You ''will'' kneel.
'''Hashmal, Bringer of Order:''' To maintain order, one must first have control.
'''Hashmal, Bringer of Order:''' Come! the cleansing flame will seal all wounds!
'''Hashmal, Bringer of Order:''' The land seeks order. It will not suffer the chaos you peddle. Nor will I!
'''Hashmal, Bringer of Order:''' Why do you resist!?
'''Hashmal, Bringer of Order:''' Resistance will be met with retribution! The landy shall bury your screams!
'''Hashmal, Bringer of Order:''' To defy order is to defy creation itself!
'''Hashmal, Bringer of Order:''' Come! The cleansing flame will seal all wounds!
'''Hashmal, Bringer of Order:''' Even the laws of life itself are mine to bend! Rise sand! Rise stone! Heed my bidding!
'''Hashmal, Bringer of Order:''' Your order...is a lie...

'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' Again, you have proven your worth to this expedition. Let us see what lies beneath the city.
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' More bandits...despite all the creatures we've encountered? I know not whether they are brave or foolish.
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' Welcome to the Garamsythe Waterway. These tunnels are said to have existed since before even the Kingdom of Dalmasca was born. As the city grows, channels are widened, and new outlets dug. I would venture that some of the pools are so deep, no one alive has ever seen their bottoms.
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' These ruins... We are no longer in Rabanastre, my friends. This is Lesalia. The Lesalia of Ivalician legend!
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' The creatures here are not mere beasts of voidsent. the secrets that lie beyond must be ones worth keeping.

'''Rofocale:''' Hark! What army marches on Rofocale's demesne?
'''Rofocale:''' Ill fortune befall all who dare gaze upon me!
'''Rofocale:''' An inescapable hell awaits you all!
'''Rofocale:''' I walk the shadows. You will not see me until my lance has transfixed you very soul!
'''Rofocale:''' Sound the battle horns! Soldiers, to me!
'''Rofocale:''' The heavens tremble in my wake!
'''Rofocale:''' The auracite! Gaze upon its undying brilliance and know true fear!
'''Rofocale:''' Hah hah hah hah! Even a hound knows when to turn tail! Would you have us think you less than chattel!?
'''Rofocale:''' Writhe in the land's embrace!
'''Rofocale:''' Without light, there can be only darkness!
'''Rofocale:''' Born of darkness, born of night. Come forth, my children!
'''Rofocale:''' The tip of my lance is already at your necks. Submit, or die.
'''Rofocale:''' The light! It blinds!
'''Rofocale:''' Ah... To die a good death...

'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' Any doubts I had of your participation in this rescue I have no longer. I was wrong to place mistrust in Cid and my sister's judgment. Now let us continue on. I sense we are close to our goal.
'''Ramza bas Lexentale:''' The air here feels... wrong. Can't you sense it? Death awaits us in yon chamber.

===Cutscene===
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' Why dares disturb the slumber of Argath Thadalfus, rightful king of Ivalice?
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' Descendants of House Beoulve? Then by my sword shall I banish your souls to the deepest hell!

===Duty Dialogue===
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' It is to be a fight, then? I am only too happy to oblige!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' Like sheep before the wolf!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' You will be judged!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' Kneel and repent!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' Crawl forth from the shadows, my pet!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' You are but blood to stain the circle!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' Does it grieve you to see the depths of your own weakness laid bare? Maggots...
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' You do not belong in ''my'' world. Step into Nothing!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' Pah! You have yet to witness the auracite's true might!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' I am the lies upon which you sup!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' You will be judged!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' The world has no place for such wretches. Your claim to life is forfeit!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' You are but blood to stain the circle!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' I am Revelation!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' The gods have no eyes for chattle!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' Fool is the dog who bares his teeth before his master!
'''Argath Thadalfus:''' Like sheep before the wolf!

===Post—battle Cutscene===
'''???:''' Where...Where am I? This body...it is not my own. Oh gods, what have I done? Save me Ramza! Save me!

===Scratched Lettering===
These messages appear in the underwater section, accessible to Alliance B.

'''Scratched Lettering:''' We departed Lesalia in high spirits, yet it was not long before our mirth turned to misgiving. We found ourselves struggling from the start and sadly obtained nothing of note. We have failed ourselves and you, and I pray our next errand meets with greater success.

'''Scratched Lettering:''' Our lives are as fleeting as a dream. What a somber thought.

'''Scratched Lettering:''' Using the crude wooden spoon I was provided, I sip at the thin broth, wondering if it is lentils I taste. It is, of course. Lentil soup is all that I have eaten since arriving in this village more than a month ago (soup being a generous term for the pathetic puddle trying its best to cover the bottom of my equally crude bowl). Would that my hosts had even salt to flavor the lukewarm fare, but war erased any hope of trade caravans making it this far...not that these forsaken villagers have aught to trade. Soon their lot will succumb to hunger, and the desert will reclaim them and any memory of their existence. Such is life in times of peril.

===Sky Pirate's Scrawlings===
This message appears in the waterway, in the area accessible to Alliance C.

'''Sky Pirate's Scrawlings:''' “Only in a leap will he prove his worth.”

==Additional Information==
===Lore===
A [[Lalafell]]in man of fifty five years, Teledji Adeledji was born to a [[Plainsfolk]] father from [[Limsa Lominsa]] and a wealthy [[Dunesfolk]] mother from [[Ul'dah]]. He inherited much from his parents, including their mercantile sense, and with that small fortune, he tried his hand at the money lending business. Increasing his funds manifold through usury, he began to purchase promising ventures and small shops. Teledji gained renown when he opened [[the Platinum Mirage]], and the wealthy came in droves to try their luck in his halls. His coffers swelled, so much so that he even took to collecting and breeding exotic pets. Since the [[Seventh Umbral Calamity|Calamity]], however, his earnings have slowed. His proposed Carteneau Reclamation Bill may have been a way around this... as was his plot against the Sultana's life.

As a member of [[The Syndicate]], Teledji has had various control over all the goings on in Ul'dah. When the [[Doma]]n refugees appeared in Ul'dah, he backed their request for sanctuary, but was turned down by [[Lolorito]] and the rest of The Syndicate, as the [[Ala Mhigo|Ala Mhigan]] refugees outside the city would most likely riot. However, this seemed to be Teledji's ultimate goal, as he later incited riots within the city. It is believed that he hoped to use the ensuing violence to pass his Carteneau Reclamation Bill to have the refugees relocated and settled at [[Carteneau]], bringing the battlefield under their control and giving them access to the [[Allagan Empire|Allagan]] weapon [[Omega]], assumedly to further exert his control and power.

Despite the power he and The Syndicate had over Ul'dah, the Sultana [[Nanamo Ul Namo]] often interfered with his most nefarious plots, and was unwilling to allow him to control her. Teledji arranged for the [[Crystal Braves]] to act in secret as his private militia, and had them coerce the Sultana's handmaiden into poisoning her drink and framed the [[Warrior of Light]] and [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], other annoyances that got in his way. When he believed that he had won and all his opponents removed from the field, he openly mocked the "death" of the Sultana, driving [[Raubahn]] into a blind rage. He was felled where he stood when the Bull of Ala Mhigo rushed him and cut him down, ending his schemes once and for all.<ref>Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 134</ref>

==Additional Information==
{{quotation|Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 189|Tataru was born into a wealthy merchant family, yet her time in luxury's lap was not long, for her father lost the family's wealth after a series of poor investments when Tataru was but a child, forcing her into a life of impoverishment. Crooked moneylenders hounding her father at every step, it was during this tumultuous youth that she learned well the value of coin. To help support her kin, Tataru took an apprenticeship at a jeweler's that paid but a pittance. She had but seen twelve namedays. It was during this apprenticeship that she met Minfilia, who had come to the shop to sell rough gemstones. Apparently, Tataru left an impression, for when Minfilia founded the Path of the Twelve, she returned to ask the Dunesfolk woman to join her as coincounter. Believing that through this position she might help prevent others from meeting the same fate as her family, Tataru willingly consented. She thus came to serve as the keeper of the Scions' coin. Now twenty-one, Tataru is also a budding songstress, and is known to sing to herself as she works her sums.}}

{{quotation|[[The_Unending_Codex#Tataru|The Unending Codex § Tataru]]|'''Scion of the Seventh Dawn''' 
'''Coinkeeper''' 

Though publicly known as the organization's receptionist, Tataru also serves as the Scions' coinkeeper─a role she executes with an enthusiastic cunning that borders on the terrifying.

Born to Ul'dahn merchants, the young Tataru had everything a Lalafell could ask for─until her family lost it all to bankruptcy. Plagued by debt and still smarting from this abrupt introduction to the harsh realities of the sultanate, she apprenticed herself to a lapidary at the age of twelve, and henceforth supported the household with her meager earnings. It was during this period that she met Minfilia─a miner come to sell gems and ore─who would later recruit Tataru to oversee the Path of the Twelve's finances.

Tataru, in turn, resolved to use her newfound position not only to accrue personal wealth, but also to serve others. Indeed, when the Path of the Twelve relocated to the Waking Sands, and her role was expanded to include secretarial duties, she used her considerable social acumen to build relationships and increase its influence. As the organization slowly but surely grew into an association of like-minded and gifted souls, she was instrumental in seeking out potential members blessed with the Echo.

After the Seventh Umbral Calamity, when the Path of the Twelve merged with the Circle of Knowing to form the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, Tataru continued her tenure as secretary and coinkeeper combined. When the political situation in Ul'dah drove the Scions from their headquarters for a time, she journeyed with Alphinaud and the Warrior of Light to Ishgard, that they might there regroup and rebuild the organization. Later, she accompanied a contingent of Scions to the Far East, where she established ties with the East Aldenard Trading Company's Kugane branch in order to fund local anti-imperial resistance efforts─one of her many laudable ventures on the Scions' behalf.

Privately, Tataru has long regretted her inability to assist her comrades in martial endeavors, and thus sought to train as an arcanist. Alas, these efforts met with misfortune, including the escape of her Carbuncle companion, and so she has since resolved to provide financial support through trades such as mining and weaving. In so doing, she has become something of a master artisan─going so far as to establish her own boutique in Old Sharlayan─yet she always manages to find the time to fashion new outfits for her Scion friends when they stand poised upon the threshold of journeys new.}}
===Lore===
Tataru was amongst those who were captured by the [[Garlean Empire]] and [[Livia sas Junius]] when they invaded [[the Waking Sands]]. She was rescued by the [[Warrior of Light]] and the [[Garlond Ironworks]]. She returned to the Waking Sands to resume her duties, and would later coordinate the move to [[Mor Dhona]] and their new headquarters in the [[Rising Stones]].

Wanting to aid her fellow [[The Scions of the Seventh Dawn|Scions of the Seventh Dawn]] more, she attempted to train as an [[Arcanist]], but soon found she was incapable of mastering combat techniques, although she still had the aptitude. Though she was upset, she steeled herself and doubled down on her commitment to support the Scions. She wasn't present at the banquet held by [[Nanamo Ul Namo]] where the Scions were framed for regicide, and managed to escape to [[Ishgard]] with [[Alphinaud Leveilleur]] and the Warrior of Light.

In the city proper, she attempted to learn what she could of the city, its people, and potentially the [[Ascian]]s. Overhearing her asking suspicious questions, she and Alphinaud were held for heresy, where they had to prove their innocence through trial by combat. The Warrior of Light fought in her place and they were cleared of all charges. She continued to act as an information gatherer for them, aiding in gathering anything she could about the potential whereabouts of the missing Scions.

Thanks to her aid, they were able to reunite with [[Y'shtola]], [[Thancred]], and [[Papalymo]] and [[Yda Hext]]. She provided everyone with new custom-made clothes and weapons designed specifically for them upon their return.

After the incident at [[Baelsar's Wall]] and [[Rhalgr's Reach]], Tataru traveled with the Warrior of Light and the others to [[Kugane]], where she continued gathering information. She stayed behind when they moved on to [[Doma]] to continue acting as a contact and relaying anything she learned.

After Alphinaud accidentally spent most of the Scions'''' money, Tataru joined in the investigation of [[Hell's Lid]], hoping to find treasures to earn back everything that was lost. She ended up involved with the Auspices, and witnessed [[Soroban]] temporarily lose control and attack them. She did her best in the battle, healing the Warrior of Light's wounds using the Arcanist skills she claimed to have continued practicing. She was present for Soroban's training as he prepared to become an Auspice, and witnessed the events that unfolded when they sealed away Koryu. For her troubles, she was given a massive sum of wealth to refill the Sions'''' coffers.

While the Scions were trapped on [[The First]], Tataru aided in watching over their bodies, while also keeping the organization running smoothly, coordinating the efforts of the other members to aid in the fight against the [[Garlean Empire]]. When they were returned to their bodies, Tataru remade their gear from The First with the aid of [[Feo Ul]] in her dreams. Following the events of [[Paglth'an]], she and [[Krile]] sought out [[Estinien Wyrmblood]] to join the Scions formally.

After the Scions set out for [[Sharlayan]], Tataru stayed behind to coordinate things in Eorzea. Later, she joined the group in Sharlayan and offered assistance to Krile in her research. When the [[Final Days]] descended upon the world, she helped coordinate efforts to take care of the [[Blasphemy|Blasphemies]] that began appearing, as well as supplies and humanitarian aid to the places that needed it. She worked alongside [[Ameliance Leveilleur]] to coordinate the supplies and work for upgrading the [[Ragnarok]], as well as the evacuation of those who chose to evacuate to the moon.

To further aid in the battle against [[Meteion]], she opened up a shop in Sharlayan, and outfitted the Warrior of Light with new gear so they were prepared for the battles ahead. She saw her friends off in the Ragnarok, and prayed for their safety. A lone carbuncle, which may have been the one she summoned in her first attempt at learning to be an Arcanist, would be found by the agents gathering beasts for '''Sharlayan''''s Labyrinth.

When the Final Days were averted and the Scions disbanded, she remained in Mor Dhona, using the Rising Stones as a place for her new career as an artisan.

===Lore===
The second son of a [[Midlander]] merchant family, Swift Ryder wanted for nothing as a child. Indeed, his passion for [[Chocobo]] racing stems from his affluent youth. Nonetheless, he chose to become an adventurer, and follow in the footsteps of his older brother [[Jakys Ryder|Jakys]]. The two had both learned how to defend themselves with a sword as boys, and these skills lent themselves well to success. Swift distinguished himself against the [[Amalj'aa]], and soon stood above others of the same profession. He joined the [[Immortal Flames]] at his brother's behest. When Jakys perished at the [[Battle of Carteneau]], Swift was wrought with grief, for the two had rarely been parted. Eventually, he recovered, and has sworn two oaths that he holds close to his heart even at the age of twenty eight: one to serve as commander of the [[Adventurer|Free Brigade]], and another to avenge his brother's death.

{{NPC infobox
| name = Solkzagyl
| description = Former captain of the Sultansworn, Solkzagyl aspired to paladinhood that he might honor his grandfather, Caerkympf, a pirate whose life took a profound turn after he was saved from drowning off the coast of Thanalan. Trained in swordplay since childhood by his grandsire, Solkzagyl easily earned a place in the Sultansworn, where he soon distinguished himself with his formidable skill at arms. He gained the captaincy at the tender age of twenty and two—a feat made all the more impressive by the fact that in Ul'dah, his Sea Wolf kin were rare and often of ill-repute. For three decades did Solkzagyl lead his shining order, ever losing ground against the growing influence of the Monetarists, until one day he—along with the sacred blade, Oathkeeper—simply vanished.

==Additional Information==
Solkzagyl Keltnaglsyn's name means "Blessed Tail" and "Cold Nail's son," respectively in the [[Languages/Roegadyn Dictionary|traditional Roegadyn language]].

===Lore===
Though he had been accused of stealing the Oathkeeper, Solkzagyl left the order to pursue the blade and restore it to its rightful place. He attempted to get word to [[Jenlyns]], the new captain of the Sultansworn, but due to the plotting of [[The Monetarists]], he was surrounded by many agents who would simply dispose of him should they find out he had learned the truth, so Solkzagyl was left to find the Oathkeeper himself. He encountered the Warrior of Light in [[Thanalan]], slaying the undead soldiers in order to earn the right to join the order. Recognizing their potential, he approaches them, calling himself a free Paladin, and offers them advice. He hands over a [[Soul Crystal]] and asks them to show it to Jenlyns, then set off once again.

Solkzagyl spent time monitoring the actions of the Monetarists, and learned that they had been feeding Jenlyns false information, slowly encouraging him to meet to "parlay" with him. They had also framed the Warrior of Light and lef Jenlyns to believe they were in league together. After ambushing and being defeated by the Warrior of Light, Solkzagyl intervened just in time to deflect an arrow loosed by a Monetarist disguised as a [[Paladin]] who had attempted to dispose of Jenlyns. After Jenlyns passed out, Solkzagyl took him to his hideout to help him recover from his wounds, and revealed the truth of the Monetarists plot to him and what he has been doing since he went into hiding.

Realizing that he had drawn the ire of the Monetarists and their elite squad, the [[Death's Embrace]], Jenlyns had planned to lead them away to [[Snowcloak]] and face off against them. Solkzagyl and the Warrior of Light followed him to [[Coerthas]] and aided in defeating the Death's Embrace mage that attacked them. Solkzagyl bid them both farewell, and continued to search for the Oathkeeper.

After some time, Solkzagyl did indeed manage to locate and reclaim the Oathkeeper, as well as the Soul Crystal of the first Paladin who wielded it. But both had lost their majestic luster, and would no longer shine the way they used to. In order to restore both of these relics to their former glory, he took on a pupil named [[Constaint]], who he trained in the ways of the Paladin. He hoped that by training new Paladins and having them challenge each other, one would rise above all the others and force the light of the others to yield. To further this goal, he reached out to Jenlyns, the Warrior of Light and [[Papashan]], and made them believe that he had been murdered before he was able to reclaim the sword. He left a trail for Constaint to follow, slowly uncovering Solkzagyl's armor in following with Paladin tradition.

When Constaint had gathered the armor and officially became a Paladin, he revealed himself to indeed be alive, and explained his goal. He had the Warrior of Light and Constaint battle against each other to determine the dominant Paladin. When the Warrior of Light emerged victorious, he revealed the Oathkeeper and crossed blades with the Warrior of Light, fighting with everything he had to ensure that whoever won would be the definitive strongest Paladin. When he finally fell, Solkzagyl cried out, not in anger but in joy, because the truest Paladin had finally been uncovered. Handing Oathkeeper to the Warrior of Light, it shone with a brilliant glow, as it had thirty years prior.

With the blade finally recovered, the Warrior of Light returned it to Jenlyns, so it may act as the blade of the captain of the Sultansworn once again. Though it did not shine, he did not lose heart, and vowed to make it as bright when he wielded it as it was for the Warrior of Light. Though he would not return to the Sultansworn as a brother in arms, Solkzagyl did return to [[Ul'dah]] as a free Paladin and mentor.

Once a weapons merchant in Ul'dah, Rowena worked to make friends in all the right places, and was soon able to shift her focus to antiquities. Though this brought her great fortune, she remains entirely single-minded in her pursuit of wealth. In this regard, she sees little difference between people and goods, and has lured many a brilliant tradesman and merchant into her service with the irresistible promise of coin. There are rumors that the Midlander woman wishes to one day make a foray into the world of Ul'dahn politics-though Rowena herself has not made these intentions clear. At some point in the past, she seems to have been married to Gerolt, the realm's foremost weaponsmith. However, she is unwed at present, and means to stay so. As to her age, one can only guess, as a lady never tells. The same can be said of her surname-a secret she, for some unfathomable reason, keeps tight to her bosom.

==Additional Information==
===Lore===
Rowena is an industrious woman who deals in rare and invaluable historical items. Starting out as a humble traveling weapons merchant, she struck her fortune when an [[Ishgard]]ian noble took a keen interest in her collection, noting its quality, and hired her to help him barter for ancient relics and treasures. She soon made a name for herself as a shrewd merchant and an artisan, coming into contact with [[Gerolt|Gerolt Blackthorn]], a master blacksmith, and Heidolf, the one who trained him. She became a patron of their goods, and eventually fell in love with Gerolt. When it turned out that Heidolf was selling shoddy wares under Gerolt's name to make a quick profit, Rowena discovered what he was doing and threatened to cut ties with him unless he stopped. Gerolt found out about Heidolf's plan to have her assassinated, he got into a fist fight with his master for her honor, but was badly beaten. He fled the city, and Rowena, having fallen in love with him, left with him, marrying him sometime later.

Unfortunately, upon fleeing with Gerolt, she stole a massive sum of funds and treasure from her clients, and was being hunted. Not wanting his love to suffer for him, he "borrowed" the money from her under the ruse to open a shop, and disappeared, paying back her debt. She remained unaware that he had done this, finding him as a drunkard years later and hired him as a blacksmith to help the [[Warrior of Light]] forge an ancient Relic weapon in order to help repay his debt to her.

She has helped fund the building of [[Mor Dhona]] and reconstruction of [[Idyllshire]], and was given a large storehouse in both areas as a way of thanks. Naming the original building her [[Rowena's House of Splendors|House of Splendors]] and the [[Idyllshire]] location as her [[Rowena's Center for Cultural Promotion|Center for Cultural Promotion]], she has hired several workers to help gather and peddle her ancient wares, trading in various currencies, such as the ancient [[Allagan Tomestones|Tomestones]] of eras past, or [[Collectables]] crafted by artisans all across [[Eorzea]]. She has many vendors across all of the [[Three Great Continents]].

-----

Many of [[Rowena]]'s employees refer to her as "Aunt." This is almost certainly a reflection of the use of a conspicuous honorific in the Japanese text, and not any actual indication of relation.<ref>https://bugfox.net/fun/2008/10/26/japanese-family-titles-in-anime/</ref> By using the honorific for a younger rather than older woman, her employees are deliberately downplaying her age. Also, Rowena's concealment of her surname would obscure if she took [[Gerolt (ARR)|Gerolt]]'s name and whether or not she reverted to her maiden name on their separation.

* Rowena has at least two known shards from other [[The Reflections|reflections]].
** [[Mowen]] ([[The First]])
** [[Rhodina]] ([[Unlost World|The Ninth]])

===Historical===
[[Rowena]] also existed during [[Patch 1.23b|Legacy]] where she exchanged [[Allagan Runestone]]s and other tokens for gear at a shop in [[Ul'dah]].

{{NPC infobox
| name = Rostnsthal
| description = Rostnsthal was once better known as Commodore Sthalmann Stalmannsyn, the commodore of Limsa Lominsa's Knights of the Barracuda. At the peak of his career, Sthalmann was responsible for ordering a self-serving and reckless operation that aimed to oust the current Admiral using the treasures of the fabled Seal Rock—a mission that succeeded in uncovering a ritual object for summoning primals.But the operation soon went awry. With many of his subordinates slaughtered, and the artifact taken, Sthalmann's reputation was shattered beyond all repair. Stripped of his rank, he took up the name "Rostnsthal," (meaning "rusty steel" in the old Roegadyn tongue) and recruited his own crew of pirates in an ultimately unsuccessful bid to steal back the lost relic. The years following this failure were spent wallowing in cheap grog and misery, until an unexpected offer from distant Ishgard saw him accept the post of a marksmanship instructor.

==Additional Information==
===Lore===
On the heels of his attempted retirement from the [[Machinist]]'s Guild, Rostnsthal was pursued to [[Lower La Noscea]] by [[Stephanivien]], [[Joye]] and the [[Warrior of Light]], begging him to teach them the ways of the Machinist. Initially he refused, not wanting to teach some random person pulled by Stephenivien from the street, but was eventually persuaded (at gunpoint) by Joye to give them a test. After hunting with them, Rostnsthal was convinced to return to the guild in a solely instructor position as an advisor. He set the Warrior of Light various tasks in order to improve their aim and control.

Rostnsthal joined in the search of a crashed [[Garlean Empire|Garlean]] vessel for a specific [[Magitek]] part, sending the Warrior of Light to act as their guard while they all searched. When a Jungle Goobbue attacked, the Warrior of Light quickly put it down using the skills Rostnsthal taught them. With the beast defeated, they found the Magitek part in its stomach.

Rostnsthal aided in defending the guild when suspicious loiterers began attempting to intimidate the Machinists who would come and go from the workshop. He helped track down several people and squeezed the name of their employer out of them: a man named [[Tedalgrinche]]. Because of his sordid past as a member of the [[Knights of the Barracuda]], he did not participate in the demonstration of their weapons with the rest of the guild, to keep his name from tarnishing their reputation.

Rostnsthal continued to instruct both the Warrior of Light and Joye in the art of the Machinist and the use of their tools, and helped prepare them when Tedalgrinche challenged Stephanivien to a tournament for control over the [[Skysteel Manufactory]]. When Tedalgrinche's minions began destroying their weapons, he aided in driving off as many of them as he could. On the day of the tournament, he helped prepare the battlefield and create strategies they could employ to win.

When Joye suddenly up and left the guild to get married, Rostnsthal joined in the investigation, even taking to the field to battle against the [[Dragon]]s while the Warrior of Light rescued her father, who had been taken by a mysterious kidnapper.

Following the guild being wrongly accused of a crime by the [[Ishgard]]ian [[Temple Knights]] in an attempt to shut them down by Tedalgrinche, Rostnsthal attempted to take the blame and the fall so as to save the guild members from having to attempt to slay a massive Dragon by the name of [[Veri Selen]] to clear their names. he was promptly stopped by the Warrior of Light and explained that he wanted to atone for his past sins with the Barracudas, and now intended to fight alongside them and slay the dragon, making sure they all make it through the battle alive.

Rostnsthal fought hard in the battle, defending even Tedalgrinche and his men from the Dragons attacks. When the fierce battle concluded, he thanked his guild members for everything and set off, claiming to never stay in one place for too long.

Rostnsthal was later hired by [[Hilda]] to teach [[The Hounds]] the ways of the Machinist so they could better defend the city against any threat, be it monster or errant Temple Knights. He also took part in the investigation of the black market sale of a weapon-the legendary sword, [[Hrunting]], and helped fight off ex-pirate black market traders. When he thought he recognized one of the sellers, he used his old connections to track down the ones responsible for the sale, and moved the investigation further along. He continued to offer aid when the Temple Knights came to attack the members of the Hounds for their investigation into their affairs, keeping his students safe. After the investigation concluded, he bid everyone farewell once again, saying he's done more than enough to lay the foundations for Hilda and the Hounds to master their art.

The '''Qerel''' are one of the [[Xaela]] tribes from the [[Azim Steppe]], who normally occupy a permanent encampment in [[The Towering Still]].

{{Quotation| Encyclopedia Eorzea vol 2, page 097, '''"[[Qerel Iloh]]."'''|The nature of the tragedy which befell the '''Qerel''' is unclear, but some claim that their settlement was destroyed by a group of exiles who declared themselves the ''Chaghan.'' Regardless of its veracity, the tale serves as an example of the harsh fates which may befall any given Xaela tribe.}}

{{quotation|[[Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I]], page 131|The twenty-five year old Vice Marshal of the Immortal Flames, Pipin Tarupin was born to a drunkard of a father who traded him to some man of the Coliseum for a refill of his tankard. There, the boy met the Bull of Ala Mhigo, who granted him his freedom. Yet, the Dunesfolk youth realized he would likely be sold again should he return home, and begged Raubahn to train him as a gladiator. Touched by the boy's desire to seize his own future, the Ala Mhigan found a lawful means to adopt Pipin as his own. Growing under Raubahn's care, Pipin went on to find great success as a mercenary, and was involved with the establishment of the Immortal Flames. Eventually, he came to serve in the Bloodsworn directly beneath his adopted father.

Though deadly serious in the line of duty, Pipin does enjoy a healthy nip of good Ul'dahn spirits each evening—the stronger, the better.}}

===Lore===
Pipin came to the aid of the [[Warrior of Light]] and [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]] numerous times, and aided in the march against the [[Garlean Empire]] in [[Operation Archon]]. After the events of the banquet where the Sultana was believed to have been assassinated and the Warrior of Light and the Scions framed, he assisted [[Alphinaud Leveilleur]] in escaping the clutches of the [[Brass Blades]] and secured him, [[Tataru Taru]] and the Warrior of Light a means of escaping to [[Coerthas Western Highlands]] to meet with [[Haurchefant]].

Later, when the location where [[Raubahn]] was being held was discovered to be [[Halatali]], Pipin mounted a rescue mission to save him from the [[Crystal Braves]] leader [[Ilberd]], who intended to execute him for "abandoning their homeland". He secured the aid of the Warrior of Light, [[Yugiri Mistwalker]] and Alphinaud, and charged the prison, defeating any Crystal Braves who stood in his way. He aided his father's escape and took him to [[the Waking Sands]] following him learning that the Sultana had in fact not been assassinated, and was merely under the effects of a powerful sleeping draught. He rejoined his father as the Vice Marshal once he returned to active duty as the leader of the [[Immortal Flames]].

Following the defeat of [[Nidhogg]] and [[Ishgard]] rejoining the [[Eorzean Alliance]], Pipin took part in the Grand Melee, fighting under the banner of the Immortal Flames. Though he fought hard, taking out many other members of the other [[Grand Company|Grand Companies]], he was ultimately beaten by the Warrior of Light, and witnessed the battle between them and his father.

When the Griffin attacked [[Baelsar's Wall]], Pipin took part in the battle against the Imperial Soldiers who defended it, securing a path to the top of the wall for the Warrior of Light and the other Scions. Following the events of the battle between [[Shinryu]] and [[Omega]], Pipin was tasked with claiming and holding control over the Wall.

Pipin was also on the frontlines of the battle for [[Ala Mhigo]]. He assisted in several missions against the various Castra in the area, and battled against [[The Skulls]] and the [[XIIth Imperial Legion]] when they attacked [[Rhalgr's Reach]]. He was the runner to [[Castrum Oriens]] who brought reinforcements to the battle as well.

Pipin led the charge against [[Specula Imperatoris]], taking out Imperials and Skulls alike, and held one of the towers. However, when the Garlean Empire turned the canons on the base of the tower and blew it into the ocean, he led those inside to safety. He wielded one of his father's twin blades, Tizona, and fought to liberate Ala Mhigo at [[the Royal Menagerie]], clearing the way to the top for the Warrior of Light.

Pipin would later become the general of the Immortal Flames when his father was dismissed so he could stay and help stabilize Ala Mhigo, and lead its army. One would assume Pipin also inherited his father's duties on [[the Syndicate]] at the same time. Pipin would go on to lead the Immortal Flames into [[Garlemald]] to assist with the mission to take out [[The Tower of Babil]] and rescue the Garlean civilians trapped there.

{{quotation|[[Encyclopædia Eorzea]] vol 1|After graduating second in his class at the Studium, Papalymo came to study under the famed Louisoix Leveilleur, and distinguished himself as a model student whilst aiding in his master's endeavors. Indeed, it was thanks to their tireless efforts that a group of Ala Mhigan refugees was granted sanctuary in the Sharlayan colony some twenty years past. It was during this time that Papalymo met Yda, and the two established a rapport. When Yda later expressed her desire to liberate Ala Mhigo, Papalymo introduced her again to Louisoix, which led to her induction into the Circle of Knowing. Since then, the two Archons have come to work together as a team—often bickering like an old married couple.The Scion has devoted his forty-two years to the study of the arcane, and indulges his passion by deciphering ancient spell tomes. A man with eyes as big as his stomach, he enjoys the traditional cuisine of his desert people, particularly dark pretzels.

Its name was earned for the gold glow the jewel set atop the staff's haft emits, and though it has seen many years, the weapon still serves as a stable nexus for potent magicks.}}

===Lore===
When [[Yda Hext]] was killed defending a young child, her sister, [[Lyse Hext]] came to Papalymo, wishing to continue her mission to liberate [[Ala Mhigo]]. Though he was against it, he used a [[Glamour]] spell to imprint a fake [[Archon]] mark on her neck, and requested that the rest of the Archons remain silent about her true identity. Together, the pair traveled to [[Eorzea]], where they ended up in [[Gridania]] after their [[Airship]] crashed in the [[Black Shroud]]. When they were attacked by various monsters from the forest, they were eventually saved by an adventurer as well as the leader of the [[Conjurer's Guild]], [[E-Sumi-Yan]], and taken to the city proper.

Papalymo joined the rest of the [[Circle of Knowing]] in defending the realm against the invasion of the [[Garlean Empire]]. When the White Raven was defeated, Papalymo aided in spreading the message that the people of Gridania needed to pray to [[The Twelve]] in order to accumulate power that may be utilized to stop the Lesser Moon, [[Dalamud]] from destroying Eorzea. When [[Bahamut]] was released from the satellite, Papalymo and the rest of the Circle, as well as everyone present were teleported away by [[Louisoix]], and the dreadwyrm was defeated, costing Louisoix his life.

Five years later, Papalymo and Yda remained in the [[Twelveswood]], safeguarding it from various threats. When they discover an Aetheric disturbance, they meet with the [[Warrior of Light]] and slay a group of [[Treant]]s who had been driven mad. The Warrior of Light passed out following this, and they brought them back to Gridania. Believing the [[Ixal]] had been responsible for the attack, the pair headed back out to continue investigating.

Later, when a "masked man" who was believed to be the true cause of all the turmoil in the forest appeared near the Guardian Tree, Papalymo, Yda and the Warrior of Light fought and defeated him. When he was revealed to be an [[Ascian]], they invited the Warrior of Light to [[Vesper Bay]] to speak with their leader. At the headquarters of [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], Papalymo introduced them to [[Minfilia]], [[Thancred]], [[Y'shtola]] and [[Alphinaud]], the other members of the Scions. The Warrior was formally invited to join, and undertook various missions for the Scions.

When [[Livia sas Junius]] attacked [[the Waking Sands]], Papalymo was amongst those taken hostage by the Empire and held at [[Castrum Centri]]. He and his companions were rescued by the Warrior of Light and the members of the [[Garlond Ironworks]]. Later, he joined the Scions, the leaders of the city-states, and the [[Grand Company|Grand Companies]] in [[Operation Archon]], an attack against [[The Praetorium]] to take out [[The Ultima Weapon]] and [[Gaius van Baelsar]], the leader of the [[XIVth Imperial Legion]].

Much later, when the [[Crystal Braves]] betrayed the Scions and aided in framing them for regicide, Papalymo and Yda fled, choosing to continue their original mission of liberating Ala Mhigo. They joined up with a resistance cell named The Masks, led by a man who only went by The Griffin. They witnessed the Griffin and the Masks undertake extremist attacks on the Garleans that often resulted in a mass loss of life.

When they were reunited with their Scion companions, Papalymo would request to hold on to the remaining pieces of [[Tupsimati]], the staff used by Louisoix to defeat Bahamut. As it had been targeted before, he felt it would be targeted again simply for the abundance of ambient aether it contained.

At the attack on [[Baelsar's Wall]] by the Griffin, Papalymo battled against the members of the resistance to clear a path to the top of the wall for the Warrior of Light, where they battled against the Griffin, who revealed himself to be [[Ilberd]] Feare, the prior captain of the Crystal Braves. He revealed his motives for the false flag operation, that if he didn't do something drastic and force the hand of Eorzea, his homeland would never be free. Using the Eyes of [[Nidhogg]] that had been given to him by the Ascians, as well as the latent aether from the dead that littered the ground beneath him, he channeled his rage and hatred into summoning a [[Primal]] unlike anything seen before. Sacrificing himself, the ritual was complete, and the Primal began to take form.

Papalymo, recognizing the direness of the situation, took charge of the situation. Sending away his comrades, who mostly refused to leave unless otherwise forced, used the power of Tupsimati to invoke the same sealing spell used by Louisoix when he attempted to stop Bahamut. Yda tried to convince him to not go through with the spell as it would cost him his life, but he simply bid her farewell, and gave his life to stop the Primal for as long as he could.

When the seal on [[Shinryu]] finally broke, Yda knew that the last of Papalymo's life energy was gone. The Archon mark that had been glamoured onto her neck vanished, and she, fulfilling Papalymo's last wishes, left the identity of Yda behind, choosing to fight for her country under her true name and forged her own path.

Much later, when the Scions were passing through [[The Aitiascope]] to speak with [[Hydaelyn]], Papalymo's ambient aether supported them, strengthening them in the fight against Ilberd's shade. The Warrior of Light also remembers his encouraging words when they were left alone in [[Ultima Thule]], helping them continue on.

==Additional Information==
A proud man of the Dunesfolk, Papashan once numbered among the Sultansworn, even acting as the right hand of Solkzagyl, the former captain. When Nanamo came to the throne, he served as her personal guard. To the young sultana who had no living family left, he became a second father. 
Upon his retirement from active service, Papashan became stationmaster at the Ul'dah Dispatch Yard operated by Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern, a prestigious position as befits a man who has seen sixty-four winters. However, behind his persona of a good-natured elderly man, he continues to secretly offer what aid he can to the Sultansworn. He also delights in taking strolls with Nanamo when she leaves the palace in the guide of "Lady Lilira," himself masquerading as a steward.
<ref>Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 133</ref>
===Lore===
When [[Solkzagyl]], the previous captain of the Sultansworn, contacted his old friend Papashan, telling him that he had found the Oathkeeper, a legendary blade that had been stolen many years ago, Papashan reached out to him offering his assistance, but did not hear anything back. Fearing the worst, he reached out to the Warrior of Light to fill him in on what had been going on, and asked them to search for Solkzagyl in the last place he had sent a missive from: [[Falcon's Nest]]. When the pair headed there, they learned from a man named [[Hundred Eyes]] that Solkzagyl had been ambushed and killed by a group of assassins, and that he had buried the [[Paladin]] himself.

While visiting Solkzagyl's grave, Papashan and the Warrior of Light rescued a boy named [[Constaint]], who claimed to be Solkzagyl's student, and the bandits who were attacking him were the ones who had killed his master, the Death's Embrace. Papashan encouraged the Warrior of Light to investigate further and learn what he could, hopefully finding the Oathkeeper and avenging Solkzagyl along the way. Papashan, grieving, would share the news of his friend's death with [[Jenlyns]], who would set off for the [[Dravanian Forelands]] to assist with the investigation.

Upon learning that the investigation into Death's Embrace was becoming increasingly dangerous, Papashan joined the Warrior of Light and Constaint at Falcon's Nest. Upon learning that Solkzagyl was in fact still alive, had recovered Oathkeeper and had planned most of the preceeding events in order to restore the light to the blade, he bore witness to the battle between both the Warrior of Light and Constaint in order to determine who was the dominant Paladin, and then between the Warrior and Solkzagyl himself. With the previous captain defeated, Solkzagyl conceded that the Warrior of Light was the greatest Paladin amongst them. Following the battle, Papashan returned to [[Thanalan]] to continue as the stationmaster.

==Additional Information==
===Lore===
Paiyo was originally a member of the adventuring party of [[Edda]] and [[Avere]], acting as the group's [[Thaumaturge]]. He joined them on their excursions into various dungeons and lairs of beasts, but ultimately left the party when Avere lost his life. Though he pitied Edda for her loss, he was not willing to put his life in further risk, and went his own way. Sometime later, however, he received a strange invitation to attend Avere's and Edda's wedding, at [[the Tam-Tara Deepcroft]], where Avere had lost his life of all places. With the aid of the [[Warrior of Light]], he aids in an investigation to see what was truly taking place.

When it turned out that Edda had in fact partaken in a ritual of necromancy in a crazed attempt to revive Avere, Paiyo was captured so his body and soul may be sacrificed to make Avere even stronger. When freed by the Warrior of Light, Paiyo told them he would wait outside until matters had been settled.

When the Warrior of Light returned and shared the grave news about Edda's fate, Paiyo was saddened but ultimately relieved that she wasn't suffering, nor would he have to worry about her bothering him again. As if on cue, Paiyo witnessed a horrifying vision of the spirit of Edda behind the Warrior. He fled for his life.

Later the Warrior of Light found [[Avere's Ring]], and shortly after was told of a drunk man who had been seen at [[Buscarron's Druthers]] muttering about the supernatural. The drunk turned out to be Paiyo, who had been attempting to drown his trauma in ale ever since the incident at [[the Tam-Tara Deepcroft]]. When the Warrior of Light showed [[Avere's Ring]] to Paiyo he decided to hold a memorial for Avere and Edda. Paiyo would symbolically bury their engagement rings, and hopefully put their spirits to rest. Once this was done Paiyo expressed his gratitude to the Warrior of Light, said that he thought the reason Avere and Edda died was due to a lack of unity in their party, and swore "No one should suffer as they did, and I will do all I can to see other would-be heroes do not succumb to such a fate."

A Dunesfolk maid of royal blood, Nanamo Ul Namo came to power at the tender age of five when her father passed. Naturally, none so young could fathom the intricacies of government, and the sultana was relegated to the role of royal puppet. Despite having ruled for more than a decade and a half, to this day, many dare to accuse her of being little more than a mammet mouthing the Syndicate's words. She is not, however, without her allies. At the age of nine, she surprised the city-state by pardoning Raubahn Aldynn on a whim. As his Coliseum winnings were conferred upon him, the Bull of Ala Mhigo swore an undying oath to serve as the sultana's sword. When he joined the Syndicate, Raubahn made good on this promise, and remains entirely loyal to Nanamo. Though she is the picture of propriety when sitting the throne, Nanamo is still a maiden of twenty-one years, and has a more playful side.

{{see also|Lilira}}
===Lore===
Following the destruction of [[Eorzea]] at the hands of [[Bahamut]], she worked tirelessly to restore order to the city of [[Ul'dah]], employing the members of the [[Thaumaturges' Guild]] to aid her. For their deeds and assistance, she named each of them a Guildmaster. Many years later on the anniversary of the [[Seventh Umbral Calamity]], she gave a speech to rouse the people of Ul'dah and raise their spirits. When [[Gaius van Baelsar]] declared his intentions to attack Eorzea, Nanamo was amongst the leaders who ultimately decided to make a stand and aided in forming [[Operation Archon]], helmed by her right hand, [[Raubahn]].

While outside of the city walls dressed as a commoner and under the name "Lilira", she escaped the ever watchful eye of [[Thancred]], and was ambushed by a voidsent summoned by an [[Ascian]]. She was rescued by Thancred and the [[Warrior of Light]], whom she revealed her true identity to, and said she was ever in their debt for their courage and bravery.

When [[Yugiri Mistwalker]] and the [[Doma|Doman Refugees]] came before her to ask for sanctuary, Nanamo empathized with her and her peoples' plight. However, she was ruled against by [[The Syndicate]], and was ultimately powerless to do anything. When [[Teledji Adeledji]] proceeded to incite riots in the streets, she learned it was an attempt to force her hand into signing the Carteneau Reclamation Bill, which would see ownership of the land turned over to Ul'dah-and ultimately, the Syndicate, which would give him access to the [[Allagan Empire|Allagan]] weapon [[Omega]]. This caused Nanamo to become wary of the machinations of the Syndicate, and intended to dissolve them.

Before she could take action against them however, Teledji attempted to have her poisoned, and [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]] and the Warrior of Light framed for regicide. However, her life was saved when [[Lolorito]] secretly had the poison swapped with a powerful sleeping draught.

Some time later, Nanamo was awakened by an overjoyed Raubahn, who administered the antidote himself. Thankful for him, the Warrior of Light and the Scions, she returned to active duty leading Ul'dah. She also had the [[Immortal Flames]] participate in the Grand Melee as a show of support for [[Ishgard]] rejoining the [[Eorzean Alliance]].

Following the liberation of [[Ala Mhigo]], Nanamo released Raubahn from his services so he may return to his homeland and aid in its rebuilding. She also sought to help them herself, and ended up consulting with Lolorito on how best to do this. They agree that they should fund the rebuilding of the saltery, and the pair both offer up a sizable fund to do so.

Nanamo was also present at the parley between Eorzea and the [[Garlean Empire]]. She, along with the other leaders attempted to sway the Emperor to cease his conquest and join with Eorzea instead, uniting the [[Three Great Continents]]. He instead refused, swearing to take the realm by force. Realizing there was no further point in peace talks, both groups prepared for war. For her part, Nanamo had the Immortal Flames join the other nations on the battlefield of [[The Ghimlyt Dark]] to hold back the forces of the Empire from invading.

Some time later, when the [[Final Days]] had befallen the world, Nanamo sent several envoys to deliver goods and materials to enhance the [[Ragnarok]] as well as supply the refugees who sought to go to the moon. When the Final Days had been averted, she along with the other nations held a celebration in honor of the Scions and the Warrior of Light.

Mother Miounne: Welcome to the Carline Canopy, a place of respite for adventurers like yourself.
Mother Miounne: As you may imagine, the Twelveswood has scarcely begun to recover from the devastation wrought by the Calamity, and Gridania wants for all the help it can get. I hope we can count on yours.
Mother Miounne: Though I will not deny there are those among us who view outsiders with suspicion, if you play your part, they will come to see that adventurers are the very salve our nation so sorely needs.

{{NPC infobox
| name = Moenbryda
| full-name = Moenbryda Wilfsunnwyn
| description = "I've yet to put my theories to the proof, but I've got a good feeling about this." Born in Sharlayan, Moenbryda was cheerful and assertive even as a child. She grew up fascinated by knowledge that surrounded her and was best described by her instructors as always eager to learn. Sensing in him the same draw to the unknown, she sought to befriend Urianger Augurelt, a quiet boy who far preferred the company of books to that of other children. With much aplomb, Urianger ignored Moenbryda's nigh-constant pestering; however, the stubborn Sea Wolf would not be put off so easily, and could oft be found lurking beside the boy, reading complex treatises over his shoulder. The two eventually grew close, and it was not uncommon to see the two late at night in the Great Gubal Library hunched over a stack of tomes and a smuggled plate of cockatrice meatballs. Once she had grown, Moenbryda joined Urianger in studying under Louisoix Leveilleur. After demonstrating a striking talent in aetheric research, she became an Archon. However, while she did participate in the Circle of Knowing, Louisoix bid her remain in Sharlayan—an order she followed with great difficulty. She returned to the Lifestream having seen but twenty and nine summers, sacrificing her life that her companions—nay the realm itself—might endure. '''Dual Haken''': After discovering the majestic weapon in the Mor Dhonan find, the Sons of Saint Coinach exchanged this greataxe to Rowena's House of Splendors for a sizable contribution to their research fund. In a rare display of generosity, the emporium later presented the axe to Moenbryda as a gift. As a marauder of no small skill, the Archon knew well how to wield the Allagan relic.

===Lore===
{{see also|Dual Haken}}
Moenbryda joins with [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]] when they sought a way to track [[Lady Iceheart]]. As an expert in Aetherology, she was able to locate the [[Aetheryte]] Lady Iceheart escaped to after she evaded capture. She explained the method which may have been used, as well as how the aetherytes work not as teleporters, but rather as beacons for the aether of those traveling through the [[Lifestream]]. Using the [[White Auracite]], she channeled the Scions aether and was able to re-establish a connection to the aetheryte within the [[Akh Afah Amphitheatre]], where the heretics and Lady Iceheart had hidden.

After their battle with [[Shiva]], the [[Warrior of Light]] returned and recounted what they saw to Moenbryda. After investigating what happened, she determined that the [[Primal]] had merely been summoned by using Lady Iceheart's body as the catalyst, and it was in effect no different from any other summoning.

After some time, Moenbryda reveals the efforts of her study. the White Auracite is able to be used to temporarily house an [[Ascian]] soul, which could then be destroyed by a large enough burst of aether. Though the method of creating a blade of aether whenever they desired seemed to be the next hurdle, Moenbryda continued her studies in [[Northern Thanalan]], where massive outcrops of aether-charged Crystals grow. Following the Warrior of Light taking out several [[Garlean Empire|Imperial]] squads at the [[Ceruleum Processing Plant]], Moenbryda succeeds in drawing the vast amount of aether required to destroy a piece of White Auracite. When the Ascian [[Nabriales]] attacks [[Minfilia]] at the [[Rising Stones]], the Warrior of Light temporarily defeats him, but he soon returned and continued his assault. Using the White Auracite, they were able to momentarily trap the Ascian, but without the blessing of [[Hydaelyn]], the Warrior of Light was unable to summon enough aether to destroy him. Finally realizing why her old master, [[Louisoix]] sacrificed himself during the [[Seventh Umbral Calamity]], she sacrificed herself and all of her aether to finally destroy the White Auracite, and the Ascian contained within.

Much later, when the Scions entered into the Lifestream via [[The Aitiascope]] in the hopes of speaking with Hydaelyn, Moenbryda's aether was there waiting for them, lending them her strength and aided them in moving forward against the enemies that waited to bar their path.

{{NPC infobox

| description = "Were it not for me, the Illuminati would never have summoned that infernal machine...or gained the means to control it."

A Xaela of undeniable beauty, Mide was believed to have had a hand in the original plot to summon Alexander. The plan was fundamentally flawed, and Mide could only watch as her accomplice and lover, Dayan, was swallowed into the primal's core. Her sole wish to free Dayan from his gaol, Mide labored in solitude, searching for a means into the core. Ultimately, she perished in the attempt to lock Alexander in time, sparing the realm the brunt of the primal's iron rage. She was but twenty and six.

==Additional Information==
===Lore===
Mide is a young [[Au Ra]] who attempted to summon [[Alexander]] with her love, [[Dayan]] and their colleagues, in the hopes to utilize the mechanized [[Primal]] to better society. Instead, when Alexander appeared, she lost not only her friends, but Dayan as well. The device used to call Alexander, the [[Enigma Codex]] shattered, and she made it her mission to find its pieces and bring back Dayan.

When Alexander resurfaced due in part to the machinations of the [[Illuminati]], she joined with the [[Warrior of Light]], [[Y'shtola]], and the members of the [[Garlond Ironworks]] to delve into the Primal and disable its cores so the Illuminati could not use it as a weapon, while also seeking the remaining pieces of the Enigma Codex.

After disabling the Midan core, Mide and the group attempted to rescue [[Roundrox]], a [[Goblin]] child who had been captured by the Illuminati due to her ability to interface with Alexander. Roundrox however desired to travel back in time and attempt to rescue Dayan. Against everyone's wishes, she did so, and the truth of the original event was made apparent:

The Alexander that Mide saw that day was actually the one they had summoned in the present and had traveled to the past. The Illuminati saw the past Mide and her colleagues near the Enigma Codex and open fire on them, killing them. When Dayan throws himself into harms way to protect Mide, it is revealed that he was actually absorbed by Alexander, and it was unlikely that anything of him remained. Upon returning to the present, Mide comes to the realization that she is stuck in a time paradox, and that the deaths of her friends and loved one were unavoidable. She becomes depressed and refuses to progress any further, seeing no reason to live or fight.

In the final encounter with Alexander and the leader of the Illuminati, [[Quickthinx Allthoughts]], Mide comes to the rescue and fires on Quickthinx at a critical moment, mortally wounding him and ending his plans. Upon attempting to disable the final core, she realized that Dayan's life essence was still within the core, as he somehow survived. In a final act of sacrifice, she sends her companions away and throws herself into the core to stop it, hoping to finally be reunited with her love.

Within Alexander, she is indeed reunited with Dayan, who explains that Alexander was in fact not a malevolent being, and had chosen not to interfere with any timeline, only being forced to by the Illuminati. With them gone, the pair were able to freeze the Primal within a self-contained time portal, freezing it in time.

It was believed that Mide had become trapped in time forever, albeit with Dayan, which seemed bittersweet. However, the party eventually learned of a legend stating that two blue-haired Au Ra stepped out of a portal long ago and founded the [[Hotgo Tribe]], indicating that the pair would someday escape.

==Additional Information==
===Lore===
An eccentric woman of the Midlander clan, Matoya's age is unknown, and woe betide any who ask. Though her obstinacy is the stuff of legend—as many who meet her well know—she is nonetheless a prominent and brilliant Archon, and is marked as such by a tattoo on her left cheek. She is also in possession of an ancient Crystal of Light known as the Crystal Eye, a relic that allows one to peer deeply into the aether. 
Matoya has long studied the world from the perspective of aether, and her pupil, Y'shtola, continues on in the spirit of this research. Matoya will neither depend upon nor curry favor with anyone, as she firmly believes one must see the world as it is to understand its mysteries. She does have her pride, however, and this sometimes leads her to give harsh tongue-lashings to her pupils. Indeed, the day she begins to remember her students fondly will be the day that her work ends. 
Matoya also has an interest in herbal infusions, and drinks copious amounts of the stuff—sometimes upwards of seven cups a day.
<ref>Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 170</ref>
-----
Matoya is a mage and a former scholar of [[Sharlayan]]. In her youth she specialized in Aetherology and how to harness the flow of aether. When the [[Garlean Empire]] began their conquest, The Forum turned to her and charged her with discovering a means of preventing their invasion. Using her knowledge of aether, she created a weapon known as an Aetheric Converger, however its destructive capability was far too dangerous and they turned the device down. In her disgust at their cowardice, she sealed her research in [[The Great Gubal Library]].

She was amongst the Sharlayans who settled in the [[Dravanian Forelands]], mentoring the youth, [[Y'shtola]] amongst them. When the Garleans threatened to invade [[Eorzea]] and the Sharlayans fled, Matoya stayed behind, not wishing to participate in their cowardice. She stayed hidden in a cave. Here she continued to study magic and aether for fifteen years.

When Y'shtola led the [[Warrior of Light]] to Matoya in search of a method to lower the barriers of [[Azys Lla]], she explained that she had researched the floating city with [[Louisoix]]. She explains that the city was where the [[Allagan Empire]] conducted their studies on the first [[Primal]]s summoned by the [[Dragon]]s of [[Meracydia]]. She aided the Warrior of Light and company with developing a method of destroying the barriers, an Aetheric Ram, using her research. She was also able to tell that Y'shtola's aether had been damaged and she was using it to see, slowly draining her life energy. She advised her young protege to be careful not to completely snuff out her remaining life.

Following [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]]'s return from [[The First]], Matoya aided them in researching a method to cure Primal Tempering, using [[Porxie]]s imbued with the same magicks used to help cure those corrupted by the [[Sin Eater]]s on The First.

===Dialogue===
''"I poured my heart and soul into my research. Passionate as I was, I invariably clashed with those around me. But even as these clashes served to stoke the fires of my motivation, they walled me off from the rest of the world. And here I am. Matoya: This cave is my home now, but ere long it will become my tomb. I'll die and turn into bones amidst this gloom, and none will be the wiser. Matoya: There's nothing I desire. I'm just an old woman awaiting death."''<ref>{{i|Have I Toad You Lately}}</ref>

Lyngsath works with the various members of the [[Culinarian]]'s Guild, teaching them the basic techniques of cooking, and aiding them in honing their skills. He worked with the [[Warrior of Light]], helping them cook various meals for their fellow guildmates. He also aided in preparing the Warrior of Light to make a dish for the Sultana as part of the plan of [[Lolorito]], a powerful member of [[The Syndicate]] who intended to close the restaurant down and humiliate the Warrior of Light. After the amazing banquet delivered by them, Lyngsath thanked them for doing right by him and the guild.

During the Dellemont d'Or, Lyngsath recommended the Warrior of Light to take part in the competition and represent The Bismarck. When they came head-to-head with [[H'mhasi Tia]] and [[Melkoko Melko]] wishes to increase the stakes of the final match of the competition, Lyngsath puts the ownership for the restaurant on the line, putting complete faith in the Warrior of Light and their cooking ability. When the Warrior of Light earns the first ever ten in the history of the competition, Lyngsath congratulates them and thanks them for saving the Bismarck once again, encouraging them to continue their journey as a Culinarian.

==Additional Information==
The foremost member of the Monetarists, Lolorito Nanarito began his career as a porter with the caravans. With time, he created the East Aldenard Trading Company, and his fortune is now so vast as to be uncountable. At the time he began focusing his business on overland trading, he is reputed to have made the acquaintance of the Garlean elite, and even explored this connection as a means of making peace with the Empire. It is widely assumed that these overtures must have ended in failure, however, as Lolorito is known to have proffered his full support in the establishment of the Immortal Flames. 
Those who study Lolorito's character are often perplexed, as he is a man who defies easy description. On the one hand, he is ruthless, and not above consorting with criminals in the name of profit. On the other hand, he has also shown himself willing to donate half of his (uncountable) wealth should his native Ul'dah have need of it. As a wealthy man of the Dunesfolk, Lolorito has developed a taste for the finer things over his sixty-four years. His particular passion is food, and he has such exacting tastes that he is known in some circles playfully as "Chefsbane."
<ref>Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 134</ref>
===Lore===
As a high ranking member of [[The Syndicate]], Lolorito was present when [[Yugiri Mistwalker]] pleaded her case to them to give her people refuge in their city. He rejected their proposal, as he knew that not only would they have to deal with the [[Ala Mhigo|Ala Mhigan]] refugees that would surely riot if others were allowed into the city before they were, but also it was most likely a ploy by [[Teledji Adeledji]] to push his Carteneau Reclamation Bill. Recognizing Teledji's power-hungry actions, he began paying much closer attention to the [[Lalafell]], and soon learned of a conspiracy to assassinate the Sultana. Behind the scenes, he arranged for the poison that was to be given to the Sultana to be replaced with a powerful sleeping draught, saving her life in the process. When Teledji was murdered out of revenge by [[Raubahn]], he had to still play the part and condemn the [[Warrior of Light]] and [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]].

Later, when the Warrior of Light and [[Alphinaud Leveilleur]] broke Raubahn out of [[Halatali]], Lolorito gave the antidote to the sleeping draught to Raubahn. Though he still held a grudge for his part in the coup, he was grateful that Lolorito had at least saved [[Nanamo Ul Namo]]'s life. To show additional penance for his part, he relinquished half of Teledji's and half of his own wealth to the Sultanate, hoping to help the city-state of [[Ul'dah]] flourish.

Lolorito's network extended far beyond the borders of [[Eorzea]], reaching even into [[Kugane]]. The Warrior of Light and the Scions met with [[Hancock]], one of Lolorito's associates who offered his aid free of charge and assisted them in crossing over [[the Ruby Sea]] to [[Doma]], all the while keeping his master abreast of their movements.

When Ala Mhigo had been liberated, Lolorito met with Nanamo and the Warrior of Light to discuss how they may help to rebuild the city-state. Using the riches uncovered in [[King Theodoric]]s tomb, Lolorito suggested rebuilding the Saltery, and offered his aid.

As she grew, she came to respect the [[IVth Imperial Legion]] over the Dalmascan military for not forcing conscription into their army. she heard the words of [[Noah van Gabranth]] as he addressed her people, saying that it is the responsibility of every man and woman to use their talents to forge their own way in life. Though she could not turn a blind eye to what the Empire did to the nations they subjugated, those words stuck with her through all of her doubts and confusions. She turned to her studies, and her academic achievements as an engineer earned her entry into the [[Magitek Academy]], where she could learn to master machina like [[Cid nan Garlond]].

Unfortunately, it was around this time that the Dalmascan resistance turned the city into a battlefield, forcing her to flee to [[Doma]]. She made a living for herself repairing machinery until she was invited to join the [[Garlond Ironworks]] by [[Jessie]], who recognized her talents. It was with the Ironworks that she finally found solace and learned to simply be herself and accept things as they came. She recalled the words of Gabranth, and focused on putting her talents towards forging a path for herself.

Lilja aided the [[Bozjan Resistance]], first by helping place the spectrometers in key locations so that they may route the aether and charge the Crystal Focus, then later on [[Zadnor]], she helps extend the shield protecting the [[Blades of Gunnhildr]] from the cannonfire of the Empire's [[Airships]]. She also helped Cid devise a method to detonate the [[Ceruleum]] of [[the Dalriada]]. Though the mission had its complications and Lilja was injured, she still managed to detonate the Crystal Focus and ground the Dalriada, ensuring that the [[Warrior of Light]] and the Blades would be able to continue on to finish off the IVth Legion.

*'''Lilja''' is initially identified as ''Ironworks Engineer''.

===Lore===
Leofard was born in the Brume, and orphaned as a boy, taking the Myste surname common amongst the city's abandoned. He did whatever was necessary to survive, and would likely have grown into an artful criminal, were it not for Raimille Roulchardon. A highborn Elezen and childless widow, Raimille invited the young Midlander into her home, and raised him as her own. Yet, she had a weak constitution, and in time grew so ill she could not leave her bed. Try though he did, Leofard's best efforts could not heal her, and soon he was alone again. With naught to bind him to Ishgard, he set off to explore the world, seeking the landmarks his adoptive mother would describe to him from history book each night at his bedside. Now the leader of the Redbills, Leofard seeks plunder to add to his ever-growing collection. He has seen thirty-two summers come and go—yet still dislikes his greens, and eats little but the generously charred flesh of beasts.
The Raimille: The Raimille is a manacutter fabricated by the Skysteel Manufactory under license from the Garlond Ironworks. Selling a portion of his plunder to purchase the sleek prototype, Leofard christened it in memory of his adoptive mother, who perished ere she could visit the places she so longed to see.
<ref>Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 202</ref>
Following the advent of technology in the field of flight, several bands of "Sky Pirates" began to appear all across the [[Sea of Clouds]]. Leofard became the leader of [[The Redbills]] and one of the most fierce sky pirates, upholding the "Code" they live by to an intense degree. He met the [[Warrior of Light]] while punishing some rogue pirates who were robbing merchants and disregarding their code. Noting they were seemingly just as much a hero as the stories made them out to be, he invites them to his ship to discuss "a great adventure".

After being confronted by the [[Talons]] leader, [[Radlia]], and rejecting her offer to join her crew, despite her barely veiled threats of violence, Leofard tells the Warrior of Light of [[the Void Ark]], and his plans to board it as it is an as yet unexplored relic, which he believed to be of the [[Allagan Empire]]. Though he had sent crews previously to investigate, none had returned, and they had lost the ship's location, his crew had developed a device known as the Ectocompass which would lead them to the Void Ark. After the Warrior of Light made preparations, Leofard and the crew headed for the ship.

After making their way through the ship, Leofard and crew found a large treasury, but were attacked by [[Diabolos]]. Before the [[Voidsent]] could finish them off, they were rescued by [[Cait Sith]] and taken back to their ship. Upon learning that the Voidsent on that ship were planning to open a Voidgate, Leofard made plans for the Warrior of Light and the crew to head back in and take out Diabolos, the Talons attacked and took [[Utata Uta]] hostage in exchange for the Ectocompass. Thinking quickly, Leofard hid a [[Linkpearl]] in the compass, and handed it over. He later tracked the Talons to [[The Weeping City of Mhach]], where he and the Warrior of Light rescued Radlia from the Voidsent [[Ferdiad]], who was demanding her in exchange for the [[Nullstone]], a relic used by the people of Mhach to control Voidsent. While Ferdiad was distracted, Cait Sith attempted to use the Stone to attack the Voidsent, but it escaped.

After returning to his ship, Leofard questioned Radlia on why she was there. She explained that her and her crew were there searching for the Nullstone, and had uncovered a book full of notes left by the Mhach, which she handed over. While studying the text, Diabolos attacked the ship, wounding Leofard in the process. Though he was driven off by Radlia and her crew, Leofard had to stay behind while the rest of the crew headed off to stop Diabolos.

As the Warrior of Light battled Diabolos, Leofard attacked with his [[Manacutter]], allowing Cait Sith to seal the Voidsent, ending his plans. When they returned to his ship, Leofard gave Cait Sith a Redbill bandana, anointing him as an official member of his crew.

==Additional Information==
===Lore===
Leih is a young [[Miqo'te]] who grew up in a small village outside [[Gridania]]. She lost her parents at a young age in the [[Seventh Umbral Calamity]] and had to learn to fend for herself early on. She mastered hunting and archery, and with her skills she eventually joined the [[Archer's Guild]].

She crossed paths with the [[Warrior of Light]] at the guild when she trained them on how to be more aware of what was happening around them, and took on a few requests from the guild together. Leih joined the Warrior of Light and [[Silvairre]] on a request to hunt the gang of poachers led by [[Pawah Mujuuk]], a notorious criminal.

Fighting and bickering the entire time, Silvairre makes his disdain for Leih abundantly clear, calling her an outsider, among other things. Regardless, the trio track Pawah and her group to their hideout in [[Buscarron's Scar]], where they are ambushed. Though they fight their way out, Pawah manages to escape. Upon returning to the guild and relaying what had happened, Silvairre berates Leih for being an outsider, saying she does not belong at the guild.

Upon returning to the guild, Leih confesses her plan to leave the guild, and asks the Warrior of Light to join her one last time to say goodbye. Upon meeting outside Gridaniain the [[South Shroud]], Leih reveals that she plans to join Pawah and her band, as they are [[Keeper of the Moon|Keepers of the Moon]] like her, and she belongs with them, not inside the city with the Gridanians. The Warrior of Light calls her on her foolishness, and Pawah rescinds her offer after Leih prevents her from killing the Warrior of Light.

Leih questioned that the Warrior seems to have surpassed her in skill and taking the lessons to heart. She requests that they do battle to see what they have learned. After a tense battle, Leih concedes defeat, finally understanding how the Warrior of Light has surpassed her, and how the guild and those within it are her new family, and that she should open her eyes to their traditions. She returns to the guild, thanking the Warrior of Light for the lesson.

Upon returning, Leih tries to talk some sense into Silvarre, who is dead set on leaving the guild in order to hunt Pawah, hoping to reclaim some honor for his failure to capture her before. She tries to convince him that he didn't have to do everything alone, and he could rely on them for help. He leaves, saying he never thought of them as friends, but Leih sees through his lie. She and the Warrior of Light follow him to the South Shroud where Silvairre had been ambushed by the poachers. They manage to defeat them and claim a whistle used by the gang that they could use to draw out Pawah.

Leih and Silvairre come to the aid of the Warrior of Light after they are surrounded by Pawah and her gang, and confront her. They manage to defeat the bandits, but Pawah slips away once again. As she is taking aim at the Warrior of Light, Silvairre surprises her, providing Leih with an opportunity to take the shot at her, knocking Pawah to the ground from her hiding spot. The three manage to bring Pawah in to [[The Wood Wailers]], and Leih thanks the Warrior of Light for everything they have done to help her find her new place in the world.

Ivalice

2026-10-15T03:32:59Z

Dragorobo: Remove excess bold markup from Lore section (bot)

The '''Kingdom of Ivalice''' was an ancient civilization featured in the [[Return to Ivalice]] [[Alliance raid]] series, and the setting of a legend called "the Zodiac Brave Story." It allegedly existed on [[Hydaelyn]] in the lands of modern-day [[Dalmasca]], and contained a number of cities such as '''Lesalia'''. For several millennia, records of the kingdom of Ivalice were predominantly lost to the ages, only surviving in myths and tales passed down eventually to families in the modern-day [[Garlean Empire]].

==Lore==
===Holy Ydoran Empire===
A cruel and tyrannical empire that ruled over several kingdoms, including Ivalice, from its capital city of Mullonde. Its primary religious organization was a polytheistic faith called The Church of Glabados.

===Ultima, the High Seraph===
{{see also|Ultima, the High Seraph}}
A "divine" entity that legends portray as an important servant of the Ydoran gods.

===The Zodiac Braves===
The "Zodiac Brave Story" is the name commonly used to refer to the original, popular legend about a band heroes who saved Ivalice. The Zodiac Braves (as an organization) are considered synonymous with legends of Ivalice, and versions of this legend were passed down over generations, which allowed it to survive and become popular among present-day [[Garlean]]s. The ''Braves' '' legend centers on this idea that, whenever Ivalice was threatened, twelve blessed heroes known as ''Zodiac Braves'' would emerge to restore Light to the kingdom.<ref name="drama1">{{#spoiler:show=Wandering Dramaturge: ...|hide=Wandering Dramaturge:| [...] "Whenever the kingdom was threatened, be it by tyranny, evil forces, or realm-wide disaster, twelve blessed heroes would emerge to bring light back to [[Ivalice]]. Those twelve were known as the [[The Zodiac Braves|Zodiac Braves]]. Each era had its own Zodiac Braves—Müllenkamp the star seer, [[Saint Ajora]], the assassin Ashley. I can list at least five others, but by far the most popular has always been King Delita."}}</ref> There are a great many retellings of this legend with their own dramatic deviations, and the lack of historic evidence for the events of the story means that most of them are likely untrustworthy.<ref name="drama2">{{#spoiler:show=Wandering Dramaturge: ...|hide=Wandering Dramaturge:| [...] "There has been much debate as to whether or not the legend is based on actual historical events or merely fiction, but most scholars agree that there is simply too little evidence to substantiate claims of Ivalice's existence. There are no ruins, there are no relics. And the stories we are left with... well, they are just that—stories. What's worse, there are so many of them, each with its own peculiarities, that only the most basic [[elements]] actually line up. Even some of the more recent renderings of the legend feature dramatic deviations, the most notable being that Delita was assassinated before even taking the throne, instead of becoming king after his marriage to Princess Ovelia Atkascha. But that has always been the trouble with bards and minstrels. You can't trust a single one of them not to change the story here or there for the sake of a rhyme. And so here we are, left in the dark without a light to ponder a mystery only the gods know."}}</ref>

The first band of Zodiac Braves opposed the reign of the Ydoran Empire, led by ''Ajora Glabados'', who would come to be regarded as ''Saint Ajora'', the First Zodiac Brave. This cohort of ''Braves'' was the first to summon ''[[Ultima, the High Seraph]]'', and used her to destroy the Ydoran capitol city of Mullonde. In fear of Ultima's power, the Braves eventually sealed the ruins of Mullonde with ''Ultima'' still inside.<ref name="EE2p303">Encyclopedia Eorzea vol 2, page 303, "Auracite", {{#spoiler:show=Click to reveal contents|"The Zodiac Brave Story tells us that Delita, acting at the behest of the Church of Glabados, set out with a company of knights to recover twelve(*) lost Zodiac Stones - holy relics created by the gods of Ivalice. Jenomis Lexentale puts forth the hypothesis that these relics were, in fact, a substance called auracite, and goes as far as claiming he has come into possession of such a stone. While fanciful the notion that it might be of divine origin, Lexentale suggests that [[auracite]] is much more than merely elementally aspected [[aether]]. As if by some higher design, the crystalline shards appear to possess the power to make manifest one's deepest desires, be they fair or foul. This is borne out by the fact that the stones are credited in the Zodiac Brave Story both with destroying Mullonde, city of the gods, and granting Delita the power to bring order to chaos in his kingdom. (*Scribe's note: some iterations of the legend have the number of auracite stones at as few as six, while others claim it to be upwards of a thousand.)"}}</ref>

At least eight times, further bands of Zodiac Braves would descend upon the land when times were at their bleakest to save Ivalice from destruction, each time led by a single charismatic man or woman that would see balance restored to the world. The names of four of these leaders are revealed within the Raid and published works: Müllenkamp the star seer, Saint Ajora (a.k.a. Ajora Glabados), the assassin Ashley, and King Delita.<ref name="EE2p302">Encyclopedia Eorzea vol 2, page 302, "King Delita & The Zodiac Braves" {{#spoiler:show=Click to reveal contents|If one were to cite a single legend known the entire breadth of [[Ilsabard]], it would most likely be the tale of the Zodiac Braves – twelve heroes who delivered the mythic realm of Ivalice from the clutches of evil. It is said that when times were at their bleakest, these bastions of light would rise up to defend the people and restore balance to the world. At least eight times did the heroes descend upon the land, each time led by charismatic leader who saw his noble men and women to victory. Müllenkamp the star seer, Saint Ajora, the assassin Ashley, all shine in their tales, but by far the most popular has always been King Delita. Subsequent to the death of its king, Ivalice's long-standing Atkascha dynasty found itself without an heir. In an attempt to claim the throne, the Order of the Northern Sky under the banner of the White Lion and the Order of the Southern Sky under the Black Lion waged war, resulting in the death of thousands and a veritable stalemate. When all of Ivalice was at war with itself, Delita and eleven of his most trusted companions set out to bring order to the realm. Though not of noble birth, the young man would ultimately unite the land as regent, and the twelve became known as that era's Zodiac Braves."}}</ref><ref name="drama1" />

The most popular story follows the tale of [[Delita Heiral]], the eventual King of [[Ivalice]], and one of the Zodiac Braves of his era. ''The plot of this story is generally as follows:''

===The Zodiac Brave Story===
Following the death of its king, Ivalice's long-standing ''Atkascha'' dynasty finds itself without an heir. A destructive war of succession begins that would later be known as "the War of the Lions" due to its two combatant factions: the ''Order of the Northern Sky'' under the banner of the ''White Lion'', and the ''Order of the Southern Sky'' under the ''Black Lion''. The War causes the deaths of thousands and eventually reaches a stalemate, before a common-born man named Delita Heiral sets out with eleven of his most trusted companions to bring order to the realm; together, this group of twelve heroes become the Zodiac Braves of their era. Delita, in spite of his common heritage, eventually unites the land and becomes its regent. He later becomes king by marrying Princess Ovelia Atkascha, who belonged to the same line as the previous Ivalician king.<ref name="dramaLegend">{{#spoiler:show=Wandering Dramaturge: ...|hide=Wandering Dramaturge:|Following the death of its king, Ivalice's long-standing ''Atkascha'' dynasty finds itself without an heir.

When all of Ivalice was at war with itself, he and eleven of his most trusted companions set out to bring order to the realm. Though not of noble birth, Delita would ultimately unite the land as regent, and the twelve become known as that era's Zodiac Braves.}}</ref>

The rendition of this legend by the Majestic Theater Company is supposedly very different. One major difference being that the timeline of the War is also supposedly when Ultima attempted to free herself, using the power of Auracite to corrupt the leaders of the warring factions in pursuit of her own goals.<ref name="EE2p303" /> Within the Raid dialogue alone, it is unclear if Ultima's role in manipulating the conflict makes an appearance in other versions of the popular legends.

===The Durai Papers===
A set of documents written in the "High Ivalician" language, authored by a man named Orram Durai. The contents of these writings both support the claim that Ivalice was real, and dispute the accuracy of the legend, describing the events and actions of key characters very differently from their legendary portrayals. Most importantly, the papers claim that ''multiple heroes'' were responsible for the deeds that are credited in the legend to Delita Heiral alone, including [[Ramza Beoulve]], who the ''Papers'' claim to be the ''true'' leader of the Zodiac Braves during that time.

{{Main|The Durai Papers}}

===Goug and Ridorana===
The Clockwork City of Goug was a metallic metropolis wherein airships, automata, and other technological marvels of the age were first conceived. <ref> {{#spoiler:show=Mikoto: ...|hide=Mikoto:| "According to the ''[[Zodiac Brave Story]]'', the Clockwork City of Goug was a metallic metropolis wherein [[airship]]s, automata, and other technological marvels of the age were first conceived.

==Additional Information==
{{see also|The Griffin|Ilberd the Unrelenting}}
Born in Ala Mhigo, Ilberd and his family fled their homeland south following the Garlean invasion. Ilberd worked as an adventurer to support his kin until they were lost in a fire that consumed their home—a fire caused by the Calamity. Suddenly alone in the world, there was only one thing left to Ilberd: to see Ala Mhigo reclaimed, and return the remains of his loved ones to their homeland. He rested all his hopes upon his old friend Raubahn, who had become a member of the Syndicate. 
A patriotic Highlander, Ilberd enjoys the medicinal teas of his native land. He sparred with Raubahn in times long past, and has since become known as "Ilberd of the Dull Blade." This is due to the ferocious strength with which he fights even at the age of forty-four. 
Lionshead: A single-edged sword of unknown origin, Ilberd's arm bears a lion's head upon the guard. He discovered it whilst exploring the Invisible City at the behest of the Thaumaturges' Guild, but as the magi took no interest in the steel, he was allowed to retain it as payment for services rendered. The magicks imbued within the weapon are believed to stimulate the humors, allowing for bladework that seemingly exceeds the skill of the wielder.
<ref>Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 198</ref>
===Lore===
Working as a sellsword in [[Eorzea]], Ilberd was brought into the [[Crystal Braves]] as a captain. As the captain of the Crystal Braves, he would only be beholden to [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], giving him the freedom to lead his men in the most effective manner. One of his first missions was to track down and apprehend the double agent within the [[Immortal Flames]], known only as The Ivy. Ilberd showed his prowess as a commander and a warrior by capturing The Ivy, who turned out to be none other than [[Raubahn]]'s right hand, [[Eline Roaille]]. He discusses what to do with her with Raubahn, and makes some offhand comments about "abandoning their duty".

In reality, Ilberd harbored a grudge against Raubahn for, in his mind, abandoning his country and people for a life of comfort in [[Ul'dah]]. To that end, he joins with [[Teledji Adeledji]] in exchange for massive sums of [[Gil]] to fund his efforts in the Ala Mhigan Resistance, with many of the other Crystal Braves following suit. He assists [[the Monetarists]] in their coup de etat, supposedly assassinating [[Nanamo Ul Namo]] and framing the [[Warrior of Light]] and the Scions. He reveals himself and his hatred for Raubahn after Teledji mocks the Sultana and Raubahn kills him. When he turns to Lolorito, Ilberd removes his arm in one clean strike, claiming that the years in the city had made him soft. He has Raubahn dragged off to [[Halatali]] to await sentencing.

When he learns of the truth behind the "assassination", he attempts to kill Raubahn for being a "traitor" to Ala Mhigo. He is stopped by the Warrior of Light, and tells them they are both pawns in someone else's game. After this, Ilberd laid low for a while, until he was approached by Elidibus, who offered him the Eyes of Nidhogg, stating that only he was worthy to wield them, with his heart full of rage. Ilberd adopts the moniker of The Griffin, and begins rallying people to his cause to liberate Ala Mhigo, planning to convince the [[Beast Tribes]] to summon their [[Primal]]s for their fight. When the Warrior of Light interfered with this, he used the info to launch a false-flag operation against [[Baelsar's Wall]], leaking this info to the [[Eorzean Alliance]] so they would have troops standing by to deal with the Primal threat, when in reality this was merely to add credibility that Eorzea was attacking the Wall, since Ilberd had given his soldiers [[Grand Company]] uniforms. This ended up being a success, as Eorzea was forced into the conflict against the Empire for Ala Mhigo.

When the Warrior of Light defeated Ilberd at the top of the Wall, he sacrifices himself using the Eyes to summon [[Shinryu]], claiming that "if he needs to become a demon, then he will become a demon. Anything to see his homeland freed". He threw himself from the top of the rampart, and invoked the summoning. This was forestalled by [[Papalymo]] sacrificing himself in the same manner that [[Louisoix]] did, but ultimately the Primal was too strong, and the Alliance had to turn to [[Omega]] to handle the dragon. When Raubahn found his body, he made a promise to see their homeland freed for the both of them.

Much later, when the Warrior of Light and the Scions were exploring [[The Aitiascope]], they came across Ilberd's remaining aether. He stood in their way, but was eventually fully defeated and laid to rest.

Leader of the Bloody Executioners, "One-eyed" Hyllfyr is a giant even amongst other Sea Wolves. With one hand, he wields a greataxe larger than many men could lift, and has won himself a name as the brutal lord of the pirates. He was a rival of Bloefhis, the penultimate captain of the League of Lost Bastards, and for many years the two were locked in a struggle for the upper hand. It is also widely thought that the Galadion Accord—and Limsa's current unity—could not have come about but for his aid.

After his sixtieth nameday, however, rumors began to swirl that Hyllfyr was stricken by an ailment of the lungs. His vessel, the Astalicia, has not weighed anchor in some time, and he has now seen his sixty-ninth winter come and go. 
Nonetheless, such is his fearsome reputation that all Lominsan pirates keep watch for his reappearance.

Hyllfyr Faezmoensyn's name means "Hell Fire" and "Fat Moon's son," respectively, in the [[Languages/Roegadyn Dictionary|traditional Roegadyn language]].

===Lore===
During [[The Trident]], a competition held in [[Limsa Lominsa]] to determine who the next Admiral would be, Hyllfyr and [[Merlwyb]] were rivals going against each other. After a [[Kraken's Arms]] register was stolen, Hyllfyr sent his men to retrieve it so he would have it as leverage against the rival crew. He and his men come up against [[Rostnsthal]] and an adventurer, who refuse to turn it over. In a rage, Hyllfyr set his men upon the two and left.

Though he would eventually obtain the register, Merlwyb would still go on to win the Trident, becoming the Admiral of Limsa Lominsa. However, when she became Admiral, she outlawed the long held tradition of piracy, believing that in order to do their part in uniting with [[Eorzea]], they could not continue attacking the vessels of other nations. Hyllfyr would not stand for what he believed to be an attack on their very way of life, and began uniting rebel crews under him in a bid to build an army and take out Merlwyb.

When a meeting was orchestrated between Hyllfyr and Merlwyb aboard the Braveheart by a member of the newly formed [[Maelstrom]], Malin, a bloody battle broke out when he attempted to assassinate Hyllfyr. By the time the fight had ended, only Hyllfyr and Merlwyb had survived. It was at this time that Hyllfyr finally came to accept Merlwyb's ways and resolved to follow her orders. To hold both parties (and effectively all pirates) to the agreement, the two forged the Galadion Accord. This allowed pirates to become "privateers", and loot and pillage ships of the [[Garlean Empire]].

In the years since, Hyllfyr has suffered a major affliction, an unknown virus that attacks his lungs. Year after year he has grown weaker, eventually becoming all but bedridden, but due to his reputation has held him in high regard amongst all the pirates. After he stepped down as the leader of [[The Bloody Executioners]], several have come forth in an attempt to take his place as captain, but none have managed to hold the position. Hyllfyr would eventually bring [[Sicard]] on as his right hand, telling him that he had the makings of a great leader.

When Sicard attempted to challenge Merlwyb to a duel for the title of Admiral, Merlwyb easily defeated him, but would not kill him. When Sicard attempted to shoot Merlwyb, Hyllfyr blasted the gun out of his hand, berating him for not following his orders. Enraptured with their former captains appearance in a very long time, the ship fell silent. Hyllfyr delivered an impassioned speech about how everyone was now part of the crew of "the good ship Limsa Lominsa", and each must do their part in supporting the Admiral in uniting Eorzea. He told them to make something of themselves, a new breed of pirate, and let him be the last of those who could do naught but steal. He reminded Sicard why he had chosen him as his right hand, and told him that all he lacked was the belief in himself to be a great leader. He apologized to Merlwyb for the confusion, and returned to his quarters.

==Additional Information==
Hailing from the northern reaches of [[Abalathia]], '''Hoary Boulder''' is considered of formidable build, even amongst other [[Hellsguard]]. When he was eighteen, he descended from his mountain home hoping to prove his mettle, and earned countless accolades as an adventurer for taking on deadly marks most others would avoid. It was on one such quest in the outskirts of [[Gridania]] that '''Hoary''' met [[Coultenet]]. Though different in personality and origin, the two bonded as if they were brothers, and have worked side by side ever since. Eventually, the pair would earn a name for themselves, earning them the attention of one [[Tataru Taru]]. Now twenty and five, '''Hoary Boulder''' guards the [[Rising Stones]], and has taken it upon himself to teach the [[Doma|Doman]] younglings which call the halls home the way of the sword, hoping that one day people will look up to him as they do the [[Warrior of Light]].
<ref>Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume I, page 189</ref>
===Lore===
Hoary worked alongside Coultenet for [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], gathering various [[Aether]] readings alongside scholars. When one of the adventurers was injured on patrol, the Warrior of Light joined them on their route. Hoary, wanting to test their might, challenged them to a little sparring match, inviting the Domans to watch in the hopes that they learn something. The Warrior of Light did not fail to impress, and had soon downed both Hoary and Coultenet.

When aiding in an escort mission, the Warrior of Light came across the body of [[Wilred]], a youth who had joined the [[Crystal Braves]]. Recognizing the boy, Hoary took over the escort mission, sending the Warrior of Light to inform [[Minfilia]] of his death. Some time later, when Hoary and Coultenet had been working as escorts for [[F'lhaminn]], they received word that the Crystal Braves had betrayed the Scions, and to take F'lhaminn to safety. The group immediately took a boat to [[Radz-at-Han]] for refuge, where they remained for some time.

Once the Scion's names had been cleared, Hoary and Coultenet brought F'lhaminn back to [[Eorzea]], where they were welcomed back by the other members of the Scions. He also learned that his brother, [[Ocher Boulder]] had joined with the Scions as well.

Hoary bid the refugees of Doma farewell following the liberation of their homeland. When some of the children began to cry, he promised that they would see eachother again, as they were destined to be adventurers. The children promised him that they would keep up their training and become great adventurers just like him.

Following the liberation of [[Ala Mhigo]], Hoary stayed behind at the Rising Stones to help with maintaining things there. When both [[Urianger]] and [[Y'shtola]] fell into a mysterious coma, he comforted [[Alisaie]] by ensuring her that there would definitely be someone out there who could awaken them. As the Scions continued to fall, Hoary worked hard to ensure the infirmary would be ready to receive them, as well as cover the extra strain that their absence had put on the Scions''''operations. When he had to leave on field work, he entrusted the Rising Stones to Coultenet'''.

Hoary continued to work hard until the Scions return. When [[Fandaniel]] revealed himself and his plans, he worked with the Scions to unite the [[Beastmen]] tribes with the [[Eorzean Alliance]]. He also aided in the development of the cure for [[Primal]] tempering, as well as gathering the requisite materials.

Hoary joined the [[Ilsabard]] contingent when the Eorzean Alliance made for [[Garlemald]] to offer humanitarian aid. He fought against the Tempered Garlean soldiers, ensuring the caravan's safe arrival in [[Camp Broken Glass]]. When the Garleans began to suffer the effects of Tempering due to the screams of [[Anima (Boss)|Anima]], he stayed at the camp to attempt to subdue them.

Following the aversion of the [[Final Days]], Hoary and Coultenet traveled to another land known as Corvos.

H'raha Tia

{{NPC infobox
| name = H'raha Tia
| description = "The arduous training to hone mind and body, the blood we spill and shed—all of it is for no other purpose but to honor the Destroyer."

Master of the sect of shadow, a splinter faction of the Fist of Rhalgr. Eschewing the entanglements of politics and seeking only to grow closer to the Destroyer, H'raha is a fanatical proponent of his sect's devotion to martial perfection. So uncompromising is his zealotry that he willingly compels his disciples to fight to the death when the prize is the opening of one's chakras. Satisfied with nothing less than the mastery of all fourteen chakras, H'raha sends those who would be his successors to hunt down and defeat Widargelt and the other disciples of the sect of light.
Temple Attire: The religious habit of the Fist of Rhalgr, made entirely on the temple grounds. The cloth is loomed by monks, the thread spun from the cocoons of remarkable worms unknown to naturalists but which arise in great numbers in the temple seolc-house. Every stitch is half as wide as its wearer's little fingernail, and it is said that the result forms a holy geometry to further open one's chakras.
Sphairai: A pair of Sphairai cunningly wrought in the form of coeurls. The sweat of Ivon Coeurlfist and blood of his enemies anoint these ever-snarling beasts of hide and metal. Perhaps the most famed of the warrior monks of the Fist of Rhalgr, Ivon is said to have eschewed the training grounds of the main temple in favor of martial congress with wild coeurls.

===Lore===
As the master of the hidden sect of shadows, H'raha Tia sends his disciples, [[O'tchakha]] and [[D'zentsa]] to attack and destroy [[Widargelt]] and the [[Warrior of Light]] in order to further open their Chakras. Believing that the only method to be as close to [[Rhalgr]] as possible is by opening all fourteen Chakras, he seeks to use the sect of light to open the seven Chakras of light, then destroy them so the sect of shadow may reign supreme.

H'raha forced Tchakha and Zentsa to battle to the death after failing to kill Widargelt and the Warrior of Light to open their Chakra. After learning that Tchakha was still alive, he tracked her and attacked the group, claiming he was there to silence her since she was a traitor. Instead, he offered to allow her to live if she killed Widargelt and opened her seventh Chakra, and would release her and Zentsa if the Warrior of Light swore to serve him. He left for the ruins of [[Ala Mhigo]], telling them to hurry before he changed his mind and killed them.

When the group faced him and attempted to convince him to stand down, H'raha simply explained that the sect of light had fallen because they had turned their back on their way, and that was why they were destroyed. He attacked the Warrior of Light and Widargelt with his men, saying the [[Fist of Rhalgr]] would be rebuilt on their broken bodies.

When the other members of the sect had been defeated, he drained the energy of Tchakha, Zentsa and Widargelt, taking their power for his own. His attack was rebuked however by the Warrior of Light, whose final Chakra had opened, putting them on equal footing with H'raha. He merely scoffed at the notion, saying the Warrior of Light was as a baby before his power, and they engaged in battle, with H'raha losing his life in the battle.

{{see also|Field Notes on Fran}}
Fran is the general of [[Lente's Tears]], a special forces group hailing from [[Rabanastre]]. Though she doesn't speak about her past, she is a brilliant tactician and warrior, and a remarkable leader. She is also believed to be a member of the [[Dalmasca]]n peace keeping force known as the [[Saraab]], that was charged with defending the Dalmascan Royal Family.

Fran and the Saraab were kept separate from the rest of the peacekeepers of the city, acting as protectors of order behind the scenes. She and the others had complete authority to do what they needed to ensure the safety of the city, even if it involved the nobility or members of the royal family. Because of this, only members of the Saraab knew who the other members were.

When the [[Garlean Empire]] invaded Dalmasca and began to lose, the people fought blindly for the royal family, throwing themselves into the Imperial forces to no avail. The casualties continued to mount and the Empire grew closer to victory every day. Knowing that if the royal line remained, the people would still fight for them, and as it stood the Dalmascans had no chance of winning. So [[Prince Rasler]] commanded the Saraab to carry out an "assassination" on [[Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca]], having it seem like she had died but would be taken to safety where she could someday lead the people in a revolution against the Garleans. Fran was charged with carrying out this mission in the utmost secrecy, ensuring that the correct people saw the princess' "death" and would spread the news of this across the kingdom.

A method of eternal sleep was devised to preserve her body, and it, as well as the method required to wake her up, are only known to Fran and her kind. Fran was unable to tell the truth to even the Fusiliers like [[Ba'Gamnan]], who grieved the princess' passing and felt he was to blame for it. She harbored immense guilt over this, and due to the events of the expedition into ancient [[Ivalice]] and Ba'Gamnan being turned into a horrific monster, she never got the chance to make amends.

When Dalmasca had rebelled against the Empire, Fran met with the [[Warrior of Light]], offering to take them to the [[Orbonne Monastery]] in exchange for ridiculous demands of soldiers and a fortune to strengthen the resistance. The Warrior of Light promises that they can only try, and leaves to speak to [[Hancock]] and [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]]. When she later learns that they had in good faith attempted to meet her demands, Fran joined them and offered her help, admitting that she knew her demands were outlandish. She reveals the location of the Monastery, and witnesses [[Alma]] becoming enthralled by [[Ultima, the High Seraph]], who pulled her through a portal.

As the party approaches the [[Golmore Jungle]], Alma appears and begs [[Ramza]] for help, only for him to be pulled into a rift himself and Alma to pass out. Returning to the [[Prima Vista]], Fran admits that she had originally only joined to steal a piece of Auracite and lay waste to the Empire, but now that she had learned of the threat Ultima posed to the world, she wanted to help. She swore to lead the party through the Jungle and into the ruins of the Monastery proper, as long as the Warrior of Light let her help.

She leads the group to the back of the ruins, where they encounter and defeat Ultima and rescue Ramza. After returning him back to the Prima Vista, Fran returned back to Dalmasca with [[Bwagi]]. Some time later, She aids the [[Bozjan Resistance]] in [[Zadnor]], saving the life of [[Mikoto]] and participating in the raid against [[the Dalriada]]. Following the defeat of the Empire, she joins in the celebrations at [[Gangos]], and thanks the Warrior of Light on behalf of her people, hoping they may work together in the future.

==Additional Information==
===Lore===
Foulques was a [[Lancer]] that held the [[Lancer's Guild]] in contempt, believing they were cowards, and the only way to truly hone the skills necessary to be an excellent Lancer is to be forged in the heart of battle. This is in opposition to [[Ywain]]'s beliefs, that one must remain calm and composed in order to master the [[Lance]]. He once thrust his blade directly into the [[Warrior of Light]]'s face, but when they didn't even react, he decided they may have promise.

Foulques regularly interferes with the guild's training missions and methods, such as hiding the Stone of Courage, a sacred artifact, deep within [[Spirithold]], requiring the Warrior of Light to fight through masses of [[Voidsent]]. However, Foulques has been shown to not be as stout of heart as he leads others to believe, cowering when attacked by the [[Lord of the Bramble Patch]] and being saved by the Warrior of Light, who did not shy away from the danger. This did nothing more than shake Foulques, humiliating him and further deepening his grudge against the guild.

Later, in a fit of rage and madness, Foulques released a pack of ravenous Lindwurms on a group of novice Lancers who were out training in the [[Central Shroud]], claiming it would "temper their courage" and resulted in severe injuries. The Warrior of Light tracked him down, and learned the truth of his hatred for the Lancer's Guild: He and his friends were once members of the guild, but were suffering due to poverty. They robbed the guild's coffers, but he soon felt guilty for his crime. Though his friends promised to confess alongside him, they pinned the entire thing on Foulques, resulting in him being the only one to be punished. He cursed himself for being too weak to make them confess, and upon his release, swore to temper his courage anew, by entering into monster's lairs soaked in blood and slaying their children to drive them mad. Through this he believed himself to be the greatest Lancer to ever live. However, when he crossed spears with the Warrior of Light, he was found wanting. In his fear and madness, he accidentally backed off a cliff, where he fell to his death.

While [[F'lhaminn]] is uses a [[Keeper of the Moon]] model, she is named like a [[Seeker of the Sun]]. This is probably an oversight.
===Lore===
Following the [[Seventh Umbral Calamity]], it was believed that F'lhaminn had lost her life. In truth, she did indeed survive, and remained hidden for many years. She was found later by [[Alphinaud]], who hoped to reunite her with [[Minfilia]] and convince her to relocate to [[Mor Dhona]] following the attack on [[the Waking Sands]]. The [[Warrior of Light]] met with her, and she agreed to meet with Minfilia if they help her finish making a batch of her perfume. They do, and she gives it to Minfilia after they reconnect, and convinces her to move to the [[Rising Stones]].

When the [[Crystal Braves]] betrayed [[the Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], F'lhaminn warned [[Tataru]] in time to help her escape, while she fled to [[Thavnair]] with [[Hoary Boulder]] and [[Coultenet]]. Some time later, when she returned, she was upset to learn that Minfilia had yet to be found, but received bittersweet closure when she heard Minfilia whisper her thanks to her from the [[Lifestream]] after she returned from stopping the [[Flood of Light]] on [[The First]].

F'lhaminn learned that some time after the Calamity, her love, [[Niellefresne]] had been killed by a blade named [[Heartstrike]], which prevented him from returning fully to the Lifestream. Seeing this as a final chance to say her proper goodbyes as opposed to all those years ago, she says her peace, and removes the blade. It shatters in her hand, and Niellefresne finally fades to aether.

Much later, after their adventure on The First, the Warrior of Light and F'lhaminn speak about Minfilia. She requests that they join her at the [[Church of Saint Adama Landama]], where Minfilia's father is buried. She speaks about her love for her adopted daughter, and the pair bury a precious gem that Minfilia once dug up for her, saying their final goodbyes.

{{quotation|[[Encyclopædia Eorzea]] vol 1|Estinien Wyrmblood is the current Azure Dragoon, and mightiest hero of Ishgard. Bearer of the Eye of Nidhogg—an ancient relic plucked from the great wyrm, he wields the power of dragons. Long absent from his post, he has returned to Ishgard to drive back the ancient enemy of his people. 
Ever since Nidhogg razed his village, murdering his parents and younger brother, Estinien devoted himself wholly to the pursuit of revenge. Orphaned at the age of twelve, he was raised by Alberic, the then-current Azure Dragoon. However, Estinien's relationship with his foster father was complicated—while he respected him greatly as a soldier, he could not help but resent him for failing to protect his village. 
As of his thirty-second year, Estinien has no hobbies, and he concerns himself only with honing his skills (and occasionally eating anything passably delicious) that he might one day exact his retribution. It was with this single-minded dedication that he overcame every trial set before him and earned the title of Azure Dragoon. 
As leader of the Knights Dragoon, he is expected to attend various social functions. However, he detests the trappings of high society and has refused on every occasion. For a time, he continued to receive formal invitations as a social courtesy, but that is no longer the case. His disregard for keeping up appearances is perhaps best exemplified by his wild, unkempt hair, which he is content to ignore.

Drachen Armor: A dragoon's armor. They say that in Ishgard, the value of a thing is measured in rumors. By that reckoning, the smithing secrets of drachen armor is valuable indeed. Some say the tint of the mythril comes from being cooked in dragon blood. Others whisper that the suit is unnaturally light, that drowning knights who should have been dragged under by its weight sped to shore like eels...

Gae Bolg: A spear only granted to those elected by the Holy See to serve Ishgard as a dragoon. Chosen for its light weight and great strength, the dragon bone used to craft the spear is reaped from fields of battle by the kin of the glorious dead. No outlander shall know how such a material is worked, but some say that the bone is kept supple in smoking vats of dragon blood.The Holy See bestowed the legendary spear Gae Bolg upon Estinien after he was awarded the title of Azure Dragoon.}}
{{quotation|[[The_Unending_Codex#Estinien|The Unending Codex § Estinien]]|Scion of the Seventh Dawn 
[[Dragoon]] 

One of Ishgard's most capable knights, Estinien─called “Wyrmblood” by many─once led his order as the renowned Azure Dragoon.

Estinien's origins are humble, having been born to a family of sheepherders in the eastern highlands of Coerthas. However, the course of his pastoral life was forever changed when his village of Ferndale was razed by the great wyrm Nidhogg─an attack which claimed the lives of his parents and his brother.

Bereft of home and family, the orphan of twelve summers was taken in by Alberic, then holder of the title of Azure Dragoon. The two proceeded to forge a complicated relationship. A martial instructor, an adoptive father, and a flawed knight─one who failed to protect his family. To the young Estinien, Alberic was all these things and more.

When his training was complete, Estinien joined the Temple Knights. So focused was he on the fight against the Dravanian Horde that he scarcely remembered the names of his companions. His sole friendship was with Aymeric de Borel, a knight of similar age who shared Estinien's passion for the cause. Estinien's prowess saw him rise through the ranks, first becoming a dragoon, and later inheriting the title of Azure Dragoon once held by his foster father.

Like all Azure Dragoons, Estinien would carry with him the Eye of Nidhogg─a relic torn from the wyrm's head over a thousand years ago. Though the Eye conferred power to the bearer, it rendered them vulnerable to Nidhogg's influence, and his undying hatred threatened to consume Estinien's very soul. Only through constant vigilance and strength of will did Estinien maintain a grip on his sanity─though there were occasions when he came perilously close to succumbing to Nidhogg's rancor.

In the midst of the Dragonsong War, Estinien offered to accompany the Warrior of Light and Alphinaud Leveilleur in their quest to convince the Dravanians to renounce their thousand-year campaign of vengeance. Though he did not believe they would succeed, Estinien nevertheless agreed to eschew violence─unless circumstances forced his hand. They were later joined by Ysayle, leader of the heretics, who similarly believed peace an unlikely prospect, but one still worth pursuing in earnest.

Estinien traveled with the others to the Churning Mists, where they sought an audience with Hraesvelgr, brother of Nidhogg. From the great wyrm they learned the truth of the Dragonsong War: that it was King Thordan of ancient Ishgard who drew first blood when he and his knights murdered the great wyrm Ratatoskr, and subsequently devoured her eyes so that they might claim her power for themselves. Yet in spite of this truth, the fact remained that Nidhogg was intent upon the destruction of Ishgard, and if he could not be persuaded to yield, they had but one recourse. In the end, the Azure Dragoon succeeded in hunting down and slaying his archenemy, presumably ending the thousand-year war.

Upon their return to the capital, Estinien and his companions discovered that Archbishop Thordan VII had plotted to wield the power of a primal to transform himself into an eternal god-king and bless the world with his twisted idea of harmony. They pursued the archbishop to Azys Lla, where they put an end to his machinations once and for all. However, in the wake of the battle, Estinien succumbed to the all-consuming hatred within Nidhogg's two eyes, transforming into a vessel for the wyrm's shade that would marshal his forces for a final assault on Ishgard. Following his defeat on the Steps of Faith, Estinien regained partial control and urged Alphinaud and the Warrior of Light to kill him, but instead the two tore the eyes from his body, casting out Nidhogg's shade and saving the dragoon's life.

With his homeland entering an age of peace, Estinien renounced his title of Azure Dragoon and set off on a journey of his own. Even during these wanderings, though, he stayed abreast of the Scions' activities, and participated in both the liberation of Ala Mhigo and sabotage efforts within Garlemald. In time, he gave in to the relentless solicitations of Tataru and Krile, officially becoming a Scion and working tirelessly with his comrades to deliver the world from the calamity known as the Final Days.

Following his long journey from archnemesis of dragons to their friend and brother, Estinien renamed his lance Nidhogg after his fallen foe. Though he is still a lone wolf at heart, he travels more often with others than before─such as to the isle of Thavnair, where he has forged a new friendship with Vrtra, another of the first brood.}}

===A Realm Reborn===
When Estinien heard that [[Nidhogg]] was beginning to stir once again, he took the Eye of Nidhogg and fled to draw the [[Dragon]]'s attention away from the city. To assist with recapturing the Eye, [[Alberic Bale]] requested the assistance of the [[Lancer's Guild]], which sent the [[Warrior of Light]]. Estinien watched the Warrior of Light from a distance, eventually confronting them. However, after engaging with them, the Eye of Nidhogg blessed the Warrior with the powers of the dragon. Shocked that the Eye would choose another [[Azure Dragoon]], he fled, telling the Warrior of Light that their paths would cross again.

After some time, Estinien reached out to Alberic, expressing a desire to parley. He explained the reasoning behind stealing the Eye, and what happened with the Eye when he met with the Warrior of Light. He and Alberic decide to train the Warrior, sending them to gather the pieces of the [[Drachen Armor]]. When the Warrior of Light returned, they joined with Estinien on his mission to slay Nidhogg.

When Estinien was ready to confront Nidhogg, the Eye showed him a surreal vision; his mentor Alberic as the Azure Dragoon doing battle with Nidhogg in [[Ferndale]]. When Alberic attacked, he was overwhelmed by Nidhogg's rage. Fearing for his life, he gave up the power of the Azure Dragoon, which kept him from being able to fend off the remaining Dragons, who razed Ferndale to the ground. The only person Alberic was able to save was Estinien.

This sent Estinien into a rage, and caused him to challenge his former mentor. The Warrior of Light fought in his stead. When Estinien was defeated, he became consumed by Nidhogg's Wrath. In the moment before he struck, the Warrior of Light channeled the spirit of [[Haldrath]] and drove the wrath from Estinien. When the dust settled, Estinien had fled.

Some time later, Estinien would join [[Aymeric de Borel]] in meeting with the Warrior of Light and [[Alphinaud Leveilleur]] and asking for their assistance in warding off [[Vishap]] and the [[Dravanian Horde]]. He would also fight the Dragons that appeared on [[The Steps of Faith]], and would swear vengeance on [[Ysayle|Lady Iceheart]] for her part in destroying part of [[Daniffen's Collar]].

===Heavensward===
Estinien later joined the Warrior of Light in his search for Lady Iceheart, and went along with the group to parley with [[Hraesvelgr]]. Though he and Ysayle disagreed on many things, he slowly found himself doubting the holy sanctity of his mission of vengeance. After meeting with Hraesvelgr and learning the truth of the start of the [[Dragonsong War]], he and the rest of the group concluded that the only way to end the war was to slay Nidhogg and his horde.

The group headed to Nidhogg's lair, [[The Aery]], where Estinien used the power of the wyrm's own eye against him. He drove his spear into Nidhogg, finally slaying him. This however, brought no sense of joy or accomplishment to the [[Dragoon]], for he had realized that he and his mortal enemy were one and the same; broken souls hellbent on revenge for the death of their families. His armor stained in the Dragon's blood, he took the eye from the Dragon, which turned out to be Hraesvelgr's eye, and returned it. This however, left the question of where Nidhogg's other eye was unanswered.

When the truth of the origin of the war was brought to Aymeric and he was subsequently jailed for interrogating [[Archbishop Thordan VII]], Estinien joined the Warrior of Light in charging [[The Vault]] to rescue him. When Thordan escaped to [[Azys Lla]], Estinien suggested using the power of Nidhogg's eye to power an aetheric ram and break the barrier surrounding the floating island.

Following the defeat of Thordan, Estinien claims both eyes, saying he intends to destroy them or put them out of reach of man and dragon alike. In this moment, covered in the blood of Nidhogg and holding both of his eyes, Nidhogg's shade of vengeance is able to take hold, and possesses the Dragoon. The shade swore vengeance and flew off.

Later, Estinien, under the control of Nidhogg, appeared at the peace conference and struck a near-lethal blow on [[Vidofnir]], scorning her for siding with the [[Elezen]]s and declaring war on them, as the "final chorus" of his song was just beginning. Turning back into a wyrm, he ascended into the skies and made for Ishgard.

Following the brutal assault on Ishgard and a battle with the Warrior of Light, Estinien was able to reclaim some small amount of control of his body and stopped himself from continuing his assault. He grabbed his own throat, determined to end his and Nidhogg's life, asking the Warrior to kill him. Instead, the Warrior of Light and Alphinaud attempted to prise the Eyes off of his armor. Eventually they succeeded, and Estinien was taken to an infirmary.

Estinien rested for a time, thanking his new and old friends alike for what they did for him. Late in the night he took his weapon [[Gae Bolg]] and left the city following Aymeric's ceremony, relinquishing his title as Azure Dragoon. He took flowers to Azys Lla in memory of Ysayle, and to [[Sohr Khai]], laying them in honor of [[Ratatoskr]] as acknowledgement for what his people did to start the war, and the part he played in its end.

Hraesvelgr was nearby and thanked him for this gesture. He tells Estinien that Ratatoskr would gladly welcome it. Hraesvelgr told Estinien of the history of the Dragoon and how the Dragons used to bear these warriors into battle on their backs. So strong was Ratatoskr's love for those brave knights, she would bless the armor they wore with her power. He led Estinien to the ruins of a barracks, wherein there was a chest, almost pristine in condition, unlike everything around it. Inside, a brand-new set of azure platemail. Hraesvelgr explained that the armor went unworn, and longed for a master-a true Dragoon. He told Estinien that his lance is still needed, and implored him to wear the armor. Fully suited in the armor, Estinien dubbed it Iceheart in honor of Ysayle, thanked Hraesvelgr for helping him find new purpose, and left the ruins.

===Stormblood===
With the power of Nidhogg inextricably woven into him, Estinien was able to sense the flare of the power of the Eyes that created [[Shinryu]]. He tracked the wyrm, which led him to [[Castrum Abania]]. He destroyed the main cannon there, and later would use his spear to destroy what remained of the Eyes, ensuring they may never be used again.

Estinien would later run into the Warrior of Light again, and gain their assistance in finding a Dragon on the [[Azim Steppe]] who had become enraged. Rather than slay the Dragon, Estinien meant to save it, as he had since become an intermediary between the men and Dragon of Ishgard. It turned out that the Dragon, [[Faunehm]] had spent much time resisting the grip of Nidhogg's song, but had lost its sanity in the process. Estinien enlisted the help of a young whelpling, [[Orn Khai]], to aid in bringing the Dragon back to her senses. The effect was temporary, but it proved Faunehm could be saved. After an intense battle, the pair weakened the Dragon enough that [[Vedrfolnir]]'s great roar freed Faunehm of her madness, and she recognized her broodmate and child once again. The young whelpling dubbed Estinien the Crimson Dragoon.

Estinien also fought in [[the Ghimlyt Dark]] against the [[Garlean Empire]]. When the Warrior of Light clashed with [[Elidibus]] in the body of [[Zenos yae Galvus]] and was incapacitated by the [[Crystal Exarch]]'s call, Estinien managed to reach the pair just before the [[Ascian]] struck a fatal blow and drove him off. He helped Aymeric carry the Warrior of Light to the chirurgeons, then left to study [[Garlemald]] after learning of their chemical weapon there, [[Black Rose]].

===Shadowbringers===
At one of the production facilities for Black Rose, Estinien ran into [[Gaius van Baelsar]], the now deposed Legatus who was also on a mission to stop the Empire and slay every last Ascian. They worked together on the investigation of Black Rose and tracked down other manufactories, eventually arriving at the royal palace. There they witnessed Zenos slaying his father, [[Emperor Varis]]. In a rage, Gaius attacked Zenos but neither were a match for the crown prince. He rebuffed them both and escaped as several soldiers poured into the room, assuming Gaius was the one to blame for the death of their Emperor. The pair escape after disabling the Arch Ultima and go their seperate ways. Estinien reported his findings to the remaining Scions and the Warrior of Light.

Later, when [[Lunar Bahamut]] appeared, Estinien fought alongside the Scions and the Warrior of Light at [[Paglth'an]] to defeat it, then officially joined the Scions in order to help them forestall the [[Final Days]].

===Endwalker===
Estinien joined the Scions on their journey across [[The Northern Empty]] to [[Sharlayan]] where they sought to find tomes or information that could possibly indicate what form the Final Days could come in. He, alongside [[Thancred]], [[Urianger]] and the Warrior of Light, traveled to [[Radz-at-Han]], where they met with the [[Alchemist]]s of [[Thavnair]] and devised a method to resist the tempering effect of the towers. Estinien's spear was studied due to the blood of Nidhogg that had become intertwined with it, and from there, the [[Hannish]] alchemists were able to create a Warding Scale by using various alchemic gems and the scale of a Dragon.

When [[Nidhana]] was captured by [[Fandaniel]], Estinien joined the Scions and the Warrior of Light in the charge on [[The Tower of Zot]], helping to defeat the Primal versions of [[the Magus Sisters]] and defeat all the tempered Garleans within. Upon reaching the top, the party found a generator. After short deliberation, Estinien destroyed it, assuming this would cause the tower to collapse. He was proven right, and everyone imprisoned in the tower, along with the Scions, washed up on the shore.

Following their victory in Thavnair, the [[Eorzean Alliance]] sought to take the fight to Garlemald, taking out the [[Telophoroi]] and liberating the trapped civilians. At the meeting in [[the Ala Mhigan Quarter]], Estinien was surprised to learn that his old mentor Alberic was one of the acting delegates to Ishgard. upon arriving in Garlemald, Estinien fought alongside the Scions, later joining with Thancred and his scouting team at the base of the [[Ist Imperial Legion]]. Once the tempered soldiers had been taken care of, he and the rest of the Scions attacked [[The Tower of Babil]], defeating [[Anima (Boss)|Anima]], thereby destroying all the towers across Eorzea.

When the Warrior of Light returned from [[Mare Lamentorum]], Estinien visited their room the night before their next mission, and expressed his gratitude for everything the Warrior of Light had done for them, then leapt from the window. When the Final Days came upon the land, Estinien joined in the hunt for the [[Blasphemy|Blasphemies]], protecting the people of Thavnair alongside [[Vrtra]].

When the Warrior of Light returned from [[Elpis]] and explained everything they had learned, Estinien joined in persuading the Sharlayans in turning over the [[Ragnarok]]. Once the ship was in their possession and modified to travel further than ever before, the Scions sought to talk to [[Hydaelyn]] one last time. Estinien traveled alongside his friends into the [[Aetherial Sea]] to reach [[the Mothercrystal]]. Estinien helped fight through the aether of foes past, and thanked Haurchefant for the blessing he bestowed upon them. When they finally reached Hydaelyn, he was put to the test alongside his comrades, and proved himself worthy. He, alongside his allies, was returned to the surface, and boarded the Ragnarok for [[Ultima Thule]].

In Ultima Thule, he encountered the shades of the homeworld of the Dragons, who felt nothing but despair at the fate of their world. To help his allies, he beseeched the Dragons, telling them they had made home on Eorzea and were thriving. In overcoming their despair, they were obliterated by the despair of [[Meteion]]'s [[Dynamis]] all around them. Estinien gave his life to create a way forward, his final hope that they would succeed in saving their world.

When the Scions were resurrected by the Warrior of Light, Estinien joined them in moving through [[The Dead Ends]], helping to defeat Ra-La. When confronting Meteion herself however, he and the other Scions were quickly overwhelmed. In an act of self-sacrifice, the Warrior of Light activated their beacon, teleporting everyone back to the Ragnarok. When the Warrior of Light returned, he celebrated alongside the other Scions.

After all was said and done, and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn "officially" disbanded, he initially intended to roam the planet, training and honing his skills. He was invited to serve as a guard for Vrtra and train the other members of the [[Radiant Host]], and was allowed to stay within [[Radz-at-Han]].

==Additional Information==
The elder brother of [[Curious Gorge]]. Protective and supportive of his younger sibling, '''Broken Mountain''' shares the same dream of restoring the way of the [[Warrior]] to prominence. His dedication and prowess have been proven through his almost entirely solitary efforts at deciphering his ancestors' writings, as well as his mastery of the techniques thus revealed. '''Broken Mountain''' left his brother behind to spread word of the '''Warrior''' across [[Eorzea]], but his pilgrimage has been plagued with unrelenting difficulty. Owing to '''Curious Gorge's''' propensity for injuring himself during training, '''Broken Mountain''' has also endeavored to master rudimentary conjury from their settlement's healer.

===Lore===
During the time he spent in Eorzea, Broken Mountain succumbed to his [[Inner Beast]], flying into a blind rage and terrorizing the people of [[Wineport]]. It wasn't until his brother and the [[Warrior of Light]] defeated him in combat that he was brought back to his senses. Shortly after, he helped the Warrior of Light stop Broken Mountain from being consumed by his Inner Beast. He vowed to aid his brother in restoring the damage that he had done, and unlock the secrets of mastering the Inner Beast and sharing his ancestor's techniques.

Some time later, Broken Mountain and Curious Gorge both worked hard to study the ancient texts of their homeland. Though Broken Mountain worked hard to master their technique, Curious Gorge was struggling with doubts that left him unable to do his duty and defend people. However, when the [[Kobold]] and the [[Sahagin]] attacked [[Limsa Lominsa]], the brothers joined together to fend off the attack, with Broken Mountain using the spells of a [[Scholar]]. Impressing [[Eynzahr]] of the [[Maelstrom]], they were both invited to train the soldiers in the ways of the Warrior.

Broken Mountain took part in the friendly battle against [[Wyrnzoen]] and his [[Marauder]]s. After their victory, the [[Au Ra]] Marauder [[Dorgono]] lost herself to her Inner Beast. Broken Mountain and the Warrior of Light battled against her to subdue her after she sent the other combatants flying. Once she was returned to her senses, she introduced herself and revealed that she was of the [[Xaela|Qerel]] clan. Upon learning that the Inner Beast can be controlled, she joined Broken Mountain to train as a Warrior, since Curious Gorge felt as though he would need to train harder before he could train anyone.

In an attempt to train Dorgono in the ways of the Warrior, he sent her on several missions with the Warrior of Light to defend the various ports and towns around [[Vylbrand]], eventually sending her and Curious Gorge on a mission to stop the [[Mamool Ja]] from attacking Wineport. Though they manage to defeat them, they wound Curious Gorge. Dorgono manages to master her Inner Beast. She returns to the [[Azim Steppe]], with Curious Gorge following her.

Some time later, Broken Mountain falls victim to a strange ailment that has rendered his Inner Beast inert. When Dorgono's father came with her to Eorzea, he treated this ailment, not only enabling the use of Broken Mountain's Inner Beast, but leaving him feeling stronger as a result.

{{quotation|[[Encyclopædia Eorzea]] Volume I, p. 33|Bitoso’s ability to conceal his form left the Nymians guessing as to the actual cause of the plague that was consuming their city from within. By the time they had uncovered the truth, it was too late to save those who had fallen—both to the scourge itself, and at the hands of the mages who had sought to quell it.}}

During the [[War of the Magi]], the mages of [[Mhach]] employed [[Voidsent]] to help attack smaller cities and towns. one such city was that of [[Nym]]. While they weren't as powerful as the Mhachi or [[Amdapor]], they were able to hold their own and prevent Mhachi from fully invading them. During this time, the sailors of the Nymian navy set out for an island in routine trade, but were battered by a fierce storm. They soon came upon a small island of [[Lalafell]]s. The natives of this island helped heal them and repair their boat. The sailors exchanged goods and returned soon after, with a treasure offered as a gift; an ornate amphora. Upon returning home, the people of Nym soon grew incredibly ill, suffering horrific symptoms that disfigured their bodies. The cause of the disease remained unknown for far too long, and by the time it was revealed, it was already too late. The amphora had been planted by the Mhachi, the storm manufactured. The amphora was used to unleash Bitoso, a pestilence-ridden Voidsent called by the people of Mhach for the sole purpose of destroying the Nymians. Bitoso was able to enter the city, and cloak itself to remain undetected, infecting the city from the inside.
