Twelve Archons

The Twelve Archons are a group of twelve renowned individuals, all extremely dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, who foresaw the coming of the Sixth Umbral Calamity. Along with Nyunkrepf Nyunkrepfsyn, they built a massive vessel named Nyunkrepf's Hope with the intent to sail the now rising sea and rescue the people of Eorzea.

Upon the eve of the Calamity, the Twelve Archons set sail. When the tides turned foul, they saved many a poor soul that couldn't evacuate in time and were washed away on the waves. Though they saved a great number of people, the tides grew steadily worse, until they faced down a wave so massive it would reduce the ship to splinters. In a last-ditch attempt to save everyone, Nyunkrepf cast a powerful spell, moving everyone, ship and all, to safety.

After landing in Gyr Abania, and realizing the mountains were already inhabited and surviving here would be a struggle, Nyunkrepf and the Twelve Archons, followed by those they saved, made for The Northern Empty in order to forge a new life. These people would go on to create the city-state of Sharlayan.

• Relm

"A gifted artist as well as mage, Relm took up a brush instead of a staff, and wielded aether like paint to give shape to her imaginings. In this way was pictomancy born─a magical discipline unlike any other, kupo! Now, Relm was a charitable soul, and never, ever used her powers for self-serving ends. She dedicated her life to aiding and defending those in need! During the War of the Magi, Relm traveled the land and saved countless people with her pictomancy, and it was for those deeds that she earned a place among the Twelve Archons." _{- Kupopo in the starter Pictomancer quest}
