So I'm playing FFXII Zodiac Age at the moment (yep, I'm well behind on sharing my screengrabs! I'm a whole two games behind lmao) and does anyone else think the Salika Wood would be a much more fitting home for the Viera than the Golmore Jungle?

I know Eruyt Village is technically its own zone/area. But I feel like passing through Salika to get there is much more on Eruyt Village's vibe.

Then again, I suppose the wildness of Golmore is a good repellent for pesky humes. ((Have you seen how the big mantis monsters cannibalize the poor chocobos though!?))

Just thoughts!

Pg. 16 - Knight of Golmore

"What say you, Miss Isja?  Does Madame Ritz's attire intrigue you?"

"It does indeed, My Sultan.  Madame Ritz, though of the jungle, is still kin.  And this garb brings a touch of flair to the Green Word.  It is heartwarming to know that I am not the only Viera seeking to bring out the Power and Beauty of our race."

"Such a proud set deserves a name befitting such.  May Madame Ritz Morningway be forever known... as a Knight of Golmore.”  -Isja “Coldgaze” & Thiji Higuri

From the vast and thick Golmore Jungle, the ravishing Veena of the Pakshee - Doctor Ritz Morningway - strikes into the haute couture scene with attire both chivalrous and tantalizing.

The Knight of Golmore is the result of her mind’s work, and covers the wearer in a bodycon one-piece petticoat with a scintillating cape.  While the suit itself is meant to show off the wearer’s lower extremities, they are also protected with plated thigh-length boots, offering a bit of combat practicality to the ensemble.

The outfit also comes with a decorative sabre that can be sheathed just below the hip.  Thanks to the rather revealing design of this piece, the more martially-inclined seekers of fashion can further accessorize themselves with additional armor or coverings as they see fit without drawing away too much attention on the suit.

Whether you are spearheading a bold expedition through one of Ethierys’s many forests, leading a parade through your favorite City-State, or just trying to show off those luscious legs of yours in style, the Knight of Golmore shall cut a fine figure in the fashion realm.

Prompt #13: Confluence

For FFXIVWrite2022 Character: Kjirsa Iryut Warnings: None

It was that time again.

It always felt strange, to have men in the tribe. It was such a rare occasion that it was always cause for a stir among the Viera women. And still, it was something out of the ordinary, an ancient tradition that still lived on. When the men came to visit, to mate the women and take the boys that were of age to go live in the forest.

She was avoiding it as usual, of course, having climbed high up in one of the treetops. She would spend as much time as possible here, peering down at the people below. So far, she had not been noticed. She heard her mother and sister call for her, but she wouldn’t budge.

She knew she had come of age, but she resisted. Until her brother was of age to visit, she felt no desire to meet any of them. Not that she wasn’t curious, but she did not feel ready to bear children. It didn’t matter that she was close to thirty by now and of childbearing age, but the thought made her feel… trapped. As if she did not feel trapped enough already.

She could turn down any offer of interest, of course. But then she would have to deal with her mother, and she would rather not. “Always provide for the tribe, for we are of the forest, and in the forest, we shall live”, like her mother used to say. Better to hide and pretend to not exist for as long as possible.

She often wondered about the world outside of these woods. All her life she had seen nothing but these enormous trees. Everything a deep green, and the sunlight was only seen as golden rays among the dense branches. But she had seen how bright the sun was above the forest. She had seen mountains in the distance. She wondered what mountains looked like up closely…

Her thoughts were interrupted by the calling of her name. She looked down and saw that her mother was very close. If she looked up, she would see her.

Time to climb higher up…

Finished MSQ 75 yesterday.

I hoped there would be some viera-wol specific text but oh well. Makes it up in my head instead. It’s must be crazy for a viera who’s familiar with the Golmore Jungle to be in Rak’tika.

17. Taking a step away from “canon”, do you have any wholly unique side quests and adventures your Warrior of Light has gotten caught up in? Did they chase down ghosts of their own past, get married, open a bakery, or fix an ancient blood curse on their family line? Have they reunited with loved ones or buried old hatchets? If there’s some unique story behind your character, how does it show up and how did it play out? (x)

After returning to the Source from the First, Corisande journeyed to the Bozjan Southern Front to aid the resistance in their effort at reclaiming their home. They had no idea they would find their mother there, already aiding the resistance as a scout. When Corisande left her village nearly 6 years ago, it was with the understanding she and Annika would likely not see each other again. But word of Corisande's feats as the Warrior of Light had made their way to their former village deep in the Golmore Jungle, and Annika, hearing of what her only child was doing, was not content to stay hidden in the forest when she could help (wonder where Corisande gets that from!). Neither of them could believe their eyes when they first saw each other, and are still overjoyed to be reunited.

The Curseborn Wood Warders have stalked the Golmore Jungle for centuries, silently protecting the tribe that cast them out. The ancient colossi are savage in their punishment of intruders.

Day 13 - Release/Horizon

“Fly, my friend. You are free to go wherever you want. Return home. This is my burden, not yours…”

There is a raven from Golmore, which Rael met in a time where they still thought they were sentenced to a life in service of their village while wanting to see the world outside of the jungle. Rael named the raven Frelsi - Freedom - and it accompanied Rael on their journey when they were send out into the world to find a way to prevent their vision of destruction from becoming reality. At some point, in a moment of missing their home, Rael sent it back home.

Frelsi is a loyal companion for Rael but also a bit of a metaphor for Rael‘s development. They get this possibly to see the world and be themselves, be free, as they always wished but once they begin to miss their home they realise that this duty is a heavy burden too and they can’t return home unless they fulfil their task.

(I also edited the origin story I wrote about Rael a little to make Frelsi appear from the very beginning, you can find it on my writing master list pinned on my profile.)

swansong version 1.0 patch notes

left the golmore jungle/her child because their village was afflicted with a mysterious illness to try to find a cure

lack of worldly knowledge taken advantage of by a cult who worships 'hydaelyn' and those with the echo, promised a cure for her village

unwillingly used as a vessel for summoning a false hydaelyn primal, only survived due to actual hydaelyn interfering + awakening to her own echo

hydaelyn was only able to keep her alive by imbuing her with a piece of white auracite, which is slowly consuming her body to keep the aether of the primal contained

trying to find a cure for her village before she is crystallized completely by the auracite

OC Kiss Week - Day 4 Lost

Golmore Jungle is a dangerous place for a child to explore on their own, moreso when they can't find their way home.

Very brain empty tonight, so it's concepts only, but please enjoy this sad, wet child.

[reap-the-game]

An updated thingy of Gia's many lives (and a couple of AUs). From left to right and top to bottom, who's who:

Rodonia: The one that started it all, Gia's Ancient self. A carefree wanderer offering his services as a healer, sundered along with so many others.

Giovanna: That's Captain to you. An unwilling whore that built a pile of bodies to function as her stairs to the top. Not that her life continued to have any less hardship, but trust her to claw her way out of anything.

Rivka: Abused in his position as a slave for as long as he can remember, Rivka made the perfect target for a different brand of abuser—but no matter how toxic that relationship, it is, sadly, a major upgrade to his previous position. In his opinion, at least.

Cecilia: A complete duality, Cecilia was forced to play the role of an Ishgardian noble's obedient wife for most of his life, despite his identity being strongly male. His brief stint in freedom with the ability to genuinely express himself was the happiest he ever got to be, before suicide became his only way out.

Tea: The life directly preceding Gia's current one, Tea was born in Golmore and proceeded to live a happy life in the jungle for the next fifty-so years. Unfortunately her life met a suffering end after she she began to fall badly ill towards the end of it, her wasting body eventually giving out.

Titania (AU): When you ask "but what if Gia was the WoL?", you get Titania. Put into the position of the Warrior of Light completely against his will but without the ability to say no after the abuse he'd already suffered in his life, his severe unhappiness culminated with him tapping out after defeating Titania. He took the throne himself and promptly locked himself in the castle, only ever seen by the fae folk.

Calypso (AU): That time Gia was born as a demigod. A capricious god of the seas, he was eventually bound to a lonely island, and although he went on to shroud the horizon in a forever storm to protect himself, he was unable to free himself. By the time he regained his freedom, he was a god obsessed, focused on his love and nothing else.

Gia: All of this brings us to the present day and to Gia himself. Torn from Golmore at a young age, his life doesn't proceed to be much better than some of his more notable past incarnations'. Finding only fleeting happiness seems to be a bit of a theme for his soul.

Golmore Prelude: Intruders

(Vierapril Day 22 - Mercy)

-------

There is no mercy for trespassers.

-------

Read on AO3 or keep reading after the jump

content warnings: death

(vierapril main post)

------

This is effectively the 'incident' that sets everything in motion for the boys to leave the forest. It's mentioned a few times in passing with other fics, but it was about time to write something more concrete about it--one that isn't necessarily from either character's point of view.

"Reyna, you need to eat more often. You can't protect the village if you get sick!" Eir flashes the other Wood Warder a smile before removing the empty stew pot from the fire, which makes him huff in response.

"It's not as if I don't eat when you're not around."

"Well, it's not proper food, especially as you ate three bowls of this stew."

"Yes, it is proper food." Reyna turns away from the other Viera in frustration. "Your food is just better."

Eir laughs as he begins to put the fire under the stew out. "Well, I'll take that compliment--"

Both Wood Warders freeze, their ears pricking up at a sound in the forest. They share a glance, then Eir nods, silently making his way to his bow propped nearby.

Whatever these noises were, they weren't a part of the forest, nor was it another Warder nearby. Which means it could only mean one thing… intruders.

~

No words were needed--the connection afforded to them by the Green Word allowed the two Wood Warders to simply understand what the other was doing. And they both understood there was no chance the intruders missed their encampment.

Eir silently climbs a nearby tree and readies his bow after quickly scanning the area. He already knows Reyna is on the opposite end of the encampment, lying low in wait to catch the intruders off guard.

They lie in wait, and the minutes feel like hours. Eventually, Eir's ears pick up the sound of people trying to make their way through the dense jungle. They were slow. Awkward. Unfamiliar with the land. Certainly outsiders, at least half a dozen.

Eir could feel a pang of frustration--Reyna thought the outsiders should have been here by now. Shortly after, though, movement catches Eir's eye, and he shifts his attention to the north end of the encampment.

A man grumbles something as he nearly falls through the brush, and others follow in an equally awkward fashion. Six… no, seven men, all in dark garbs, presumably soldiers. Eir thought he had heard of these men before--but it didn't matter.

It doesn't take long for the leader to notice something is amiss. He takes a cautious step forward. One step, then another, and one more before he reaches for the weapon strapped to his back.

Eir draws his bow and arrow quickly--noisily, and the pack of intruders turns their attention towards the noise. He does not aim but simply fires the arrow, unconcerned with the target, as he quickly preps another shot. One of the outsiders cries out--it appears that Eir hit one of them in the arm, a helpful enough distraction.

A soldier shouts "it's only one--" before learning his fatal error as Reyna slices his throat. His sudden arrival throws the group into a panic, unsure of where to look or who the true threat is.

Eir readies his next shot, and, holding his breath, he counts. One. He sees Reyna quickly dispatch another outsider in the confusion, and they decide he is the more significant threat. Two. He counts that there are five still alive, though one is frozen in fear, unable to fight back. Three. One of the outsiders remembers Eir was there and spins towards the tree, readying a weapon Eir could only assume could hit him from afar.

Too late. Eir lets his arrow loose and it strikes true, downing one of the outsiders that had turned towards Reyna. Without stopping to take another break, he leaps down from the tree--a second later, a loud booming sound rang out. The outsider had fired his weapon, sending tree bark flying where Eir was just a moment before.

Reyna had dispatched most of the intruders, but Eir felt something was wrong. One of the outsiders had ran--the one too terrified to fight. He had to chase them down.

There is no mercy for anyone who trespasses in the Golmore Jungle.

~

It took no time to find the soldier that ran off--for the unfamiliar, the jungle was no place one could make a quick escape from. However, Eir was not skilled in close-quarters combat, and the surrounding jungle was too dense to set up a clear shot.

Instead, he got ahead of the outsider, waiting in a small clearing. Eir did not doubt that the outsider would end up here--the thick foliage naturally guided to this spot. There, he waited out in the open… he could use the soldier's shock and land the lethal blow while they tried to react

It did not take long for the outsider to arrive, and when he saw Eir, he gasped and made to turn around. He tripped in his rush, however, and could only turn and stare at the Viera from the ground as he drew back his bowstring.

"W-wait!"

Eir faltered. The voice that came from the soldier was… young. Too young. They sense the opportunity to quickly rip off their helmet, revealing a soft, round face. The soldier was more boy than man, and it was clear his hands were unbloodied.

"Pl… Please…" The boy looked at Eir, trembling, unable to rise. "I-I don't want to hurt any of you! I don't want to be here! They made me! I… I… just want to go home…" He lets out a shuddering sob, unable to speak further.

Eir stares the intruder down before slowly lowering his bow. "Go."

"...Wh-Wh-"

"I said go. Before I change my mind."

The boy stared at him in shock before regaining his senses and scrambling away. Eir watched him run off, staring emotionlessly at the trampled brush. 

He knew there were consequences for this.

~

Moments later, Reyna burst into the clearing, uncharacteristically out of breath. "Eir, what did you do?!"

Eir turns his gaze to Reyna, his expression even. "That was a child, Reyna, I couldn't--"

"It does not matter how old they are, Eir, you know this. Intruders must always die."

"I… I know." Eir sighs, crossing his arms. His detached nature was making Reyna--or was it the forest?--angry. How could he fail at his duty and be so apathetic about it? He grits his teeth, taking a moment to take a deep breath before speaking again.

"You need to leave. Now."

"What? Reyna--"

"Leave. Go somewhere else. Anywhere. Just not here."

Eir stares at Reyna, confused, before a look of hurt flashes on his face. "Fine."

He waits until Eir is far away--until the link of Green Word between them is weaker--before sighing. Then, Reyna turns back towards the encampment. He'll need to erase any trace of the other Viera being there… Eir's life depended on it.

~

"Rehw-Bidit."

Reyna turns toward the older Viera who called his name. "Djt-Setlas, you're here." He gestures towards the bodies of the intruders. "Is it because of them?"

The gruff Wood Warder doesn't look at the bodies and only glares at Reyna. He did not need the weak connection between the two of them to know the older man would cut him down if he was not careful. "One escaped."

"Yes, he managed to get away and couldn't track him, but I knew you were patrolling nearby--"

"Do you take me for a fool? Someone let him escape, and we are lucky I was around to clean up their mess."

Reyna frowns. "What are you implying?"

"Enough! Where is that failure?! Where is Djt-Bidit?! To think we suffered him this whole time--"

 "You know as well as I do he's not here. Or have you lost your connection to the forest?"

"Hmph." The Warder fumes at the insult before roughly grabbing Reyna by the arm. "We're returning to the village. The elders will get to the truth of this matter."
