Fire in your eyes, fire in your hearts, Steeled as you sound the horns of war
So, this is it. Stormblood is about to come and thus I thought it would be a good time to make a post with the children I’ll be first taking to Gyr Abania and through the Azim Steppes.
Without further ado, these are the characters I managed to carry through all of the MSQ so far:
Silent Sea ( @swygmerl ): Hellsguard fighter who, following the ways of her people, left the tribe in Abalathia’s Spine and headed south, making her living with blacksmithing first, then as arms for hire. Sworn to fight under Flame General Aldynn – for she is loyal to no army, but to those few who earn her respect –, she has her eyes now set on the liberation of Ala Mhigo. Soon enough, however, her heart might compel her to cross the ocean and fight for her lover’s homeland. For that is how they met, and that is how they will live, until the very end.
Mana Akagi ( @hakuchounowakare ): The eldest child in a family of tutors and scholars, the Raen was forced to leave Doma as Garlemald struck their attempt at rebelling. Behind her, a trail of corpses – from friends to relatives, to the point she assumed to be the only one left in her family. Only hatred and a death wish kept her going when she reached the shores of Eorzea, and a most ironic twist of fate led her to find succor in Ishgard, of all places. Now, however, it’s time to go back home and light that fire once more.
P’ahro Tia ( @magickedsands ): Once a deserter set on proving his worth without complying with tribal traditions, this Seeker of the Sun traveled across Eorzea to further develop his innate affinity for magicks. Now well versed in the old arts of Mhach and delving deeper into those of Amdapor, he tends to ignore his pride’s yearnings. If anything, all he longs for now is a journey alongside his partner, no matter where it takes him.
Kaidu Himaa ( @doppelgentler ): As the tension brought by the Empire’s presence started changing the atmosphere in the steppes, these Himaa twins decided to try their luck across the ocean – Oyuun leading, Kaidu following, as it always had been. The trials and tribulations met in Eorzea forced him to follow his own path, though; one that often proved to be most unlikely. And while it’s hardly home, he owes much to this odd land. Still, the battle drums call, and the Himaa never walk away from a fight.
