cephei kisne, a former resident of voeburt and warrior of light, just before the flood tore through the first. plucked from death by alexander, they are given a choice: survive as alexander's servant, or perish, returning as a lightwarden. they have far too much left unfinished to go gently. they spend millennia spiraling through time, aiding adventurers on journeys to salvation, to the day man can steer their fate once more. cephei is fated to die within alexander, and has made peace with this fact. they live every day, frozen in time, as if it is their very last.

THE FLOWERS LEFT AT MJRL'S REGRET. lost souls from the first will always find a companion in cephei. particularly if they hail from fanow.
WHAT YET LIES IN THESE HALLOWED HALLS?cephei's primary occupation is overseeing the great gubal library. now repaired, they will take anyone in pursuit of knowledge within... for a price, and a promise.

I'M ASKING YOU TO LET ME STAY. no living being possesses the sheer amount of primordial light they do and lives to tell the tale, but they breathe and think like any other, and harm no one (without due course).
O'ER MY RIVALS I PREVAIL. there are whispers in the criminal world that cephei will kill for free, for anyone, on one condition - whoever it is must be a threat to time itself. whatever the hells that means.

azem's mind and body, willingly plunged into darkness everlasting. unseen and unheard did he take elidibus' place within zodiark, allowing hydaelyn to ensnare the primal as long as necessary to evade certain doom. even less is known of his past than fray, other than that despite all odds, someone gifted him the means to live his life anew after the fall of zodiark, away from the title and demands he once held.
❝
...but what is an end, if not a new beginning? our futures are forged in our own blood, our sweat, our tears. they are ours. if laying into death's jaws guarantees this fact, i do so with a smile. a couple ponze of flesh, for lifetimes, generations untold of joy. how could i choose anything else?
❞
hooks.
DRINK DEEP, WE SUFFER. being trapped within zodiark did not leave elysion unscathed. his aether is a whorl of activity, eroding his very being. should someone choose to take on the task of making his life livable again, no matter how big or small, know he will be grateful.
THE TRAVELER. given a new life, elysion is more curious about etheirys and its inhabitants than he has ever been. he is always looking for the odd job; anything that will break him from his shell.
rumors.
CELESTIAL NOISE DETECTED. elysion's will to see the star endure has manifested itself in ways he did not expect or anticipate. one of which was the resurgence of astromancy, but another... a familiar clock, ever ticking, just out of reach.
??? though this word is meaningless to most of etheirys, uttering it around him makes him act... strangely. his reactions are almost never quite consistent, either. what meaning does it hold...?

what was once azem's heart and soul, spirited to safety from the final days with a single wish - "give them wings - the choice to fly free from my duty." little is known of his history beyond what he has chosen to share: born anew on meracydia's waters during the second astral era, 'fray' possesses the form of many through the years, honing his aetherial masking, rejoining the ranks of the ascians, and manipulating all for a single wish - to reunite with the body and mind stolen from him. the final body he takes to bring his plans to fruition is one morgause dumaire, eorzea's "original" warrior of light, who longed for freedom from the mortal world and her duties.

YDYHR IN AN WHAH A? fray has been on a long road as the ill-begotten warrior of light, but he is aware of those in times parallel that share his fate. he would know them all.A STAR AMIDST DARK. fray, being the former heart and soul of azem, recalls the aetherial proceses that formed the original practice of astromancy and its ties to umbral arts. should he deem you worthy, he will offer to teach it to you.

KIN AN LOON; AN SCORH IN SEETH. ???ISHGARD'S BANE. before taking morgause's flesh, fray was her mentor - friend to sidurgu and rielle, aide to hapless heretics. whispers claim he lost his trial by combat on purpose in order to descend to dragonkind, sowing despair across ishgard...

a xaela found on the precipice of crooked coin as a babe, ilms from the drop to nhaama's cradle. how she came to be there is something only her father knows; the very same father who brought her to reunion to live among the qestir. she grew into a happy life, but always felt a yearning, as though something was missing. at twenty four summers she walked to the ruby sea, setting temporary sail for the finer things in life. she returned home two years later with a mastery over aether, earning a place as one of reunion's managers, and a desire to understand why she'd been abandoned.
❝
... [she says nothing, but her gaze speaks all. an otherworldly glow to her irises. she is born of flesh and blood but exists on a plane entirely separate. she points towards the mountains, to nhaama's cradle - her home.]

REUNION. returning home after her journey has made her love for the steppe all the more prominent. she is an excellent trader and negotiator, on top of managing the safety and sanctity of reunion's bounds. if you are of the steppe, you know her.
A MARK OF MASTERY. ssyline's mastery of aether is not a common one; she glides on aether to travel. such honing of the element serves as a silent reminder to all of her prowess with it.

whispers of a 'sister' haunt the ishgardian population at night. known for the flames underneath her steps at the scenes of her alleged murders. those who dare to delve deeper into her mystery are never seen again. none have seen her face, know her name or her modus operandi, yet her delight stains the walls. her presence lingers, even if she herself never stepped foot into the lives of the deceased. the corpses believed to be of her doing are completely unrecognizable, charred to bone and almost indiscriminate - from the brume's swine to the house heads, no one is safe from her fiery wrath.

NEPENTHE. according to the last person trying to track her down, she frequents an establishment deep within ishgard's catacombs, one the majority of the population has never even heard of.
