So I’m sick with covid with little to no energy/brain capacity and all of the sudden I decided I needed to start designing the various reincarnations of Nyx’s Source-born shard up until Ahru.
There might be a cooler, sleeker way to present all of this but I spent all my energy in channeling the spirits so maybe that’s something for future me. Maybe if we get more information on the various ages they were from they’ll get fleshed out/changed around but for now kind of bare bones details.
The First Incarnation: Kir Dras: Assumed to have first lived during the First Astral Era. Very little is known about this first known incarnation. (I just thought it’d be cool if their first incarnation was Mister Final Fantasy Fourteen himself.)
The Second Incarnation: Cora Stran: Lived during the end of the Second Umbral Era. In a time when mankind had fled into caves to shelter from volcanic ash and thunderstorms, plague and pestilence dwindled their numbers. It is said the first forms of magick were believed to have been born from human prayers. Cora was one such individual, desperate to help those around her, grasping at the first scant rays of restorative magicks.
The Third Incarnation: Miriona Wynvelis: Lived during the Second Astral Era, a ranking priestess of a theocracy thought to be devoted to Oschon. She encountered the Ascian Arshadaya, Azem’s lifelong travel companion, and was deceived, possibly seduced, into thinking he was an emissary of Oschon, if not the God Himself...
The Fourth Incarnation: Seja: Lived during the Third Umbral Era as a witch hunter. An orphan whose home had been destroyed in holy war.
The Fifth Incarnation: Leraje Arkasian: Lived during the Third Astral Era around 5000 years ago. Was a lover of Amon's, though whether this meant there were any sentimental attachments is difficult to say. They were possibly killed by him in an experiment, whether accidental or not all details are equally unclear.
The Sixth Incarnation: Skirra: Lived during the Fourth Astral Era. A long-lived viera who seemed to gain some keener insight onto the nature of her soul. A powerful and talented seeress who read the movements of the heavenly bodies. Encountered the Ascian Arshadaya in her later years.
The Seventh Incarnation: J’hati: Lived during the Fifth Umbral Era, was among the descendants of Allagan slaves who first arrived in Eorzea.
The Eighth Incarnation: Sarika Morika: Lived during the Fifth Astral Era as a Scholar in Nym.
The Ninth Incarnation: Ciar: Lived during the Sixth Umbral Era in Mhach 1,500 years ago. An understudy of High Voidmage Cessair. Her soul was almost violently melded to, or devoured by, the voidsent Diabolos, if not for Arshadaya's last minute intervention.
The Tenth Incarnation: Letih: Lived briefly, during the Sixth Umbral Era. An orphan of Amdapor who narrowly survived the flooding, found and saved by Arshadaya. Weak, and soon reborn after her more recent and tumultuous death, she was afflicted with the taint of void energy nested deep in her aether.
The Eleventh Incarnation: Olun Dotharl: Born among the Dotharl, she seemed to glean some insight and understanding of the workings of her soul. Something of a legend on the battlefield in her time, soon not even the Steppes she loved could contain her wanderlust and curiosity. Fiery and determined, she eventually set out with an adventurers determination to find answers in the world.
The Twelfth Incarnation: Atrienne Levon: Lived during the Sixth Astral Era during the brief age of peace between the elezen and dragons in the Churning Mists. She herself may have taken a dragon as a lover, and fled with them when tragedy struck...
The Thirteenth Incarnation: Empress Seraphina yae Galvus: Wife of Solus zos Galvus, Mater Patriae. While every bit a warrior in her own right, she was also quite shrewd and cunning in politics - though such matters were never close to her heart beyond furthering the greater well-being of the people of Garlemald.
The Fourteenth Incarnation: Ahru Hiraeth: Hydaelyn’s long-awaited Warrior of Light, the one with whom she pinned her hopes upon.
