BEAU DAWNSTRIDER
━ WARRIOR OF LIGHT / COURIER / ADVENTURER
Were you to have a default image in your head of an adventurer, doubtless Beau would be the person to pop into your mind. Kind, courteous, and always willing to offer a hand to those who need it - she is all too eager to hear of your tales or inquiries.
SIVIR SPRINGFOOT
━ ARTIFICER / INVENTOR / IMMORTAL
Many have heard of the wondrous creations that have come from Springfoot's Stupendous Solutions. Though much about the young inventor is unknown, she has made it abundantly clear that she seeks to bridge the gap betwixt magick and man.
BABSWYS BLOELAKWYN
━ CAPTAIN / TRADESWOMAN / CHAMPION
Babs, as she prefers to be called, is primarily known for her vessel: The Leviathan's Chase. Though the name might suggest danger, she dabbles only in mercantile deliveries. Her reputation is a clouded one, however, after the fate which befell her former crew.
FAEWYNN GLOSSGLEAM
━ ADVENTURER / EXPLORER / CRIMINAL
Faewynn wants one thing and one thing only: to be remembered. Part of a well-known family based in Ul'dah, the young elezen often finds herself involved in antics surrounding mayhem, madness and debauchery - all in the name of a good story to tell over hearthfire.
MOON WHISPER
━ SOCIALITE / SKY PIRATE / PILOT
Moonwhisper is a known socialite, and often frequents events surrounding persons within higher society. How he himself got to such a station is a story unknown, though many appreciate his company all the same, due in no short part to his soft-spoken nature and charm.
LAURENCE SOUTHWAY
━ SOLDIER / CIVILIAN / MECHANIC
Once a promising Centurion in the Garlean Empire, Laurence now lives a much simpler life in Shirogane. As knowledge of his homeland has surfaced, he has chosen to support the Populares in their endeavours.
NIKLAUS DREHER
━ NOBLEMAN / SHOPKEEP / LEGACY
Once part of an esteemed noble Ishgardian house, Niklaus has branched out from his family's riches and set up shop in the Goblet, hoping to leave his family's storied history well behind him - though he holds secrets of his own, all the same.
VALENTINE BLACKTHORNE
━ TRAVELER / SCHOLAR / SELLSWORD
A quiet woman, shrouded in an air of mystery. Valentine is a stern type with few words to say. Those who have employed her, however, unanimously agree: she gets the job done quickly and efficiently - though is gone from sight before you can blink thrice.
ALARIC SWAILES
━ PROFESSOR / EDUCATOR / BARKEEP
An elezen who, more times than not, is asked whether the horns are in fact real. A man with quite the renown, yet few people really know much of anything about Alaric - save for a few facts: he is a magic user; he was once a teacher - rumoured to be of Sharlayan origin - and he has a penchant for death, dying and decay.

H ailing from Gyr Abania, Beau's life has always been something she'd describe as an adventure. Life has thrown many hardships her way, yet each has been met with acceptance and a challenge - and promise - to take the next step forward. The invasion of her former home happened when she was young, and she learned quickly to adapt to a new way of life with the help of her adoptive father, Rex. The moment the Gridanian Adventurers' Guild accepted her, and she took up a cane for the first time in order to pursue the art of conjury, she's not looked back. Fortunate, then, that the call of the Echo would come to the woman - and have her follow alongside the same path as the Warrior of Light of legend. Though her stories may not be quite as grand - they are hers, and full glad is she to share in them all; the good and bad, alike.

01.
Being an adventurer, it's likely the easiest and most convenient way to meet her. She is constantly on the move, but always available to help out with any and every request you may bring to her attention - if one only asks.
Should you see her and wish for her assistance, you can simply walk up and ask. Alternatively, you can use the Adventurers' Guilds scattered across Eorzea to get a message directly sent to her. Or you could contact her Free Company for much the same service.Whatever may take your fancy, getting an initial meeting with Beau is as simple as being able to deliver a message.
02.
Those who were present for the events of Carteneau, leading up to the Seventh Umbral Calamity, will have doubtless seen the young woman alongside them - though veterans of Carteneau are seemingly few and far between.
All the same, Beau often seeks out those who are either long-term adventurers or, alternatively, have been in the military for some time. Though the topic at hand is hardly a kind one, she would be glad to confide in a kindred spirit.Such can be taken a step further if any had extensive involvement in goings on in the time before the Calamity. Beau, whilst not being quite as well known and established as she may be now, was still a prominent adventuring face - and she'd be relieved to see anyone who was remotely recognisable from those times.
03.
One of Beau's latest ventures lies in Bozja and their resistance effort. She had been involved in a great many wars, but none properly since Carteneau. Her experience lent great merit to their cause, thus did she accept.
Perhaps you would have found her on the frontlines, as any which role you so desire. Perhaps you'd like to share a hearth with someone willing to help your own kin; or perhaps you fought against her. Did you delve the Castrum? Raid Dalraida? ...did you perhaps see the horrors within the Delubrum Reginae alongside her?
04.
More than an adventurer, Beau has been sighted frequenting Mor Dhona - the current known location of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn - and those with enough know how would verify that she is a part of the fabled group.
Beyond the Scions, she was also a part of the Path of the Twelve - before the events of the Calamity caused their eventual disbanding. Doubtless that the Scions, and the Path, have seen a great many events spanning across Eorzea and beyond. For those who would be interested in learning of such tales, some digging may be required... but it is possible. Alternatively, those who also consider themselves a part of such groups will be gladly welcomed by the half-elezen to regale in their own tales.Should there be a task befitting someone of the Echo, as well, then the Scions - known to have taken such individuals under their wing - would be a fine place to start.

S ivir is not as she outwardly appears - intentionally so. Hailing from a time many consider as legend - the whispers of Allag spoken of in wonderment in present day - Sivir remembers it rather differently. One of many to protest against her Emperor's wishes, she was swiftly punished for such - and as their world came to meet ruin at his hands, so too did he insist that she be there to see it, in a most cruel manner. Bound to the void as she now is, she secludes herself quite purposefully - though her mind, still as brilliant as it was all those eons ago, aches for a constant challenge. Thus do Eorzeans delight in the tinkerings from Springfoot Solutions - a shoppe filled with wonders to rival those from Ironworks - though seldom, if ever, have they seen the bright mind behind the creations.

01.
Though you may not see the woman easily, any are welcome to frequent her shop for the purposes of requesting a commission of any kind. Sivir is a prodigy in magitek, technology and anything remotely similar to artifice.
Any person who puts in a personal request will be given the opportunity to see the miqo'te in person - something she insists upon only because of the rather complicated paperwork (her own personal preference) that follows it.It may not suit the budget of many - for the woman hardly works for free - but should a soul wish to meet with her, this would be a guaranteed method of doing so.
02.
T o hold a mastery of artifice means one must hold a mastery of magicks. The miqo'te is skilled in the theory and applied practice of many magicks present upon Hydaleyn. Those wishing to pursue the path may find audience here.
Though, such does not come so easily: she is not an entity impressed by much - though should you have a desire to learn, or a naturally-burning curiosity, you may very well peak her interest, at least enough to have her hear you out.
03.
H er drive for knowledge knows no bounds - and with her recent foray into matters of business and commerce, she intends to stay well ahead of the game that she already feels she is winning.
Any scholar hailing from the current powerhouse of knowledge - Sharlayan - would interest her very greatly. More so if they are of a high status and would, therefore, have access to more prestigious knowledge.Sivir would even be so willing as to trade some secrets of her own for the secrets they may possibly have. Any excuse to read another book...
04.
S he doubts that she is the only surviving member of ancient Allag - what with the vast amounts of research that she herself conducted. Those with a proclivity for their history may note her name within its history books.
Should you feel brave to call her out on this notion, you may find youself in for a treat. Allagan knowledge, she feels, should remain dead and buried as it has been for the last several centuries - but you can convince the artificer to boast of her achievements, should you feel so inclined.Those hailing from Garlemald or Bozja may even be so inclined as to inquire about the Weapons found there. It is only a rumour, and a deeply buried one at that, but could one resist potentially speaking to the creator - or at least a person who aided in the building of - such machines...?
05.
S ivir is a denizen of the void - a voidsent through and through - and though it may be an inconvenience for her, she does need to feed, and she needs to feed often in order to maintain appearances.
Those who walk upon the darker side of the line may find her perusing with fellow voidsent under the same circumstances. Those with a sensitivity to void magicks may also note her inherent nature - as with those proficient in necromancy. She is, after all, a dead woman.Perhaps you may even be a kinder soul, willing to offer up some aether for her cause. If you manage to find out such secret information about her, the least she could do is fulfil your request.

Babs has always hailed the call of the sea - it being a passion of hers from since she was a little girl. Being the caretaker of both herself and her twin, through the help of a friendly captain or two, she strove to make something of herself. Sixteen summers is all it would take for her to develop her own guild - and business - and her first venture to deliver exported goods was quick to come. Such fortune was short-lived, however, as as her vessel - The Leviathan's Chase - was caught in a terrible storm, causing the entire ship to capsize and her crew to tumble into the rough waters, never to take another breath. She was fated for it, too, but amidst the chaos of the storm she was struck - and a voice called out to her of unknown origin, yet it is the sole thing that plunged her out of the brink of death, to calamitous effect. Though few know what occurred that day, and many did not see the woman for some time, the Chase did return to the seas - though the Captain had notably changed, to the dismay of many, and her ship's name was now spoken more in fear than reverence...

Any who answers to the call of the sea will doubtless come across Babs in their time. Whether they are a pirate of their own making or a fellow tradesman, doubtless will their ships have crossed at some point.
The story of the fate of the Leviathan's Chase is a rather well known one to those who are interested in seafaring stories. While the details might not be all too known, and most don't bring it up due to the sensitive nature of the topic, it is nonetheless an easy conversation piece for those who wish to engage with her - if they can catch her, of course.You could even be fortunate enough to convince her to have you join her crew, should you wish for a sea-faring adventure of your own - or to at least have her grant you passage to a place across the waters.
02.
There are rumours as to what exactly happened on the day of the storm - whispers that Babs had been cursed by Leviathan themselves; or tempered, even. Implausible, given Babs was still sound of mind, but people do wonder...
Though Babs has not shared in what exactly occurred (not in its entirety, anyway), the changes to her - both physically and mentally - have been noted by a great many. Her skin turned a darker shade of blue and a being once so gentle now possessed quite the temper. Many have shrugged it off to being down to the trauma of such a catastrophic event - though those caught in her ire have sometimes spoken of something much worse. Something uncontrollable, much like the storm she found herself trapped in.
03.
Truthfully, Babs keeps to herself fairly often - conducting her business, but with the intent of searching for help for a problem she feels like she is quickly losing control of, though she dares not show it to anybody.
The entity that saved her from the brink of death is far from benevolent, and she is hesitant to confirm the rumours circulating to be truth. Very few may have seen her act in a fit of rage and temper, cutting through those who stood in her path at the time, only to see her regain herself and flee.She is desperate for help, but knows not who to turn to - for she knows not what saved her in the first place. If a kind yet daring soul were to offer their aid to help her with her problem, she would undoubtedly hear them out, especially if they had the means to prove that they were more than just common ilk...

A noblewoman affiliated with the Glossgleams in Ul'dah, Faewynn was not always one to have lived the high life. She was one of many to be adopted by the head of the family after they had found her waiting in jail, a mere five years old, waiting for her mother who never came. That was her life before, she insists; not wishing to look back but, rather, make anyone regret ever stopping her from moving forward. Ever an exploring soul, Faewynn has made it her sole purpose to become the greatest that ever was: a renowned explorer like no other. The moment she was able to register a free company for herself, she did so - and she has since spent her time growing her business, whilst keeping up with her own family's business. May the Twelve help you should she be near, as the time following will be far from quiet.

01.
The Glossgleam family are very well known in Ul'dah, being one of the richest families to live there. Though not quite making Syndicate levels of gil, the family insist that this is quite intentional on their part - their focus being elsewhere.
The family have their interests in a great many thing - from sponsoring Free Companies pertaining to their interests, to shifting politics, to personal funds regarding their own musings.Faewynn, though having a company of her own, is loyal to her family - and is almost always the first port of call for those who are seeking sponsorship - or favour - from the family.
02.
Though Faewynn is far from book smart, it surprises many to hear that she is, in fact, a student of Sharlayan. In pursuit of her passion, she developed her bardic skills at a college - and the gil was convincing enough to give her a chance.
Of course, this will not come as a surprise to those who were unfortunate enough to have to handle her antics in Sharlayan - fellow scholars who, while some did share in her vibe, many found her to be a little too loud...It could not be denied, though, that she was certainly the one to bring the party - and the trouble. It's a wonder she was not excluded by the Forum... but they could not deny her ability to spin a yarn and weave a tune - though she found herself on thin ice rather consistently.
03.
She is keen to adventure as she sees fit - and some of these adventures have gone a lot smoother than others. There is rumour, in fact, that one was rather disastrous.
Happening during the peak of the Dragonsong War, Faewynn often spins a tale of fighting alongside the Warrior of Light of legend in their pursuit to achieve peace between man and dragon.Inspiring as it may be, people cannot help but to feel that she glosses over certain details - particularly pertaining to herself. She was, after all, oddly reclusive for a period of time after said battle - appearing many months later, as she had always been. Many do wonder what happened, however, and those who may be in her field of work - or perhaps a healer of sorts - may know the full truth of her tale.
04.
There will be those that know the truth of the Glossgleam family. There was a reason Faewynn caught their eye to begin with, having been a young girl with a skill for stealing valuables from those who were caught unguarded.
Much like with any requests, Faewynn is the port of call for anything pertaining to the more... sinister and unsightly requests that befit a crime family.She herself is a good spirit, and though her main focus is upon her own company - she is said to be the main candidate for taking over when her Papa retires. Such an event is causing quite the scene between her and her brothers, who feel they are more capable than she, though their dirty laundry is hardly aired publicly...

He is a man who speaks very little of his past - rather choosing to focus on what he has now, which is this: a rather cobbled-together sky ship, bursting with the colours of Thavnair; a few, close friends - whom he trusts with his life, and many acquaintances through his proclivity for socialisation and engagement with the masses. A rarity for his kind, he understands; precisely why he likely garners so much attention from it. The viera will always been seen at a social engagement, whether it is his own or the careful plannings of another. He lives life in the moment he's given and is not one to shirk an opportunity to put a smile on someone's face. Though his life may be storied, he would much prefer to focus on making new ones - for then, a story shall never grow old and stale.

Doubtless you will be able to find Moonwhisper at any social gathering - particularly if they pertain to important people of a high standing, though that need not apply. Any and all people can hold intriguing information, after all.
Moonwhisper is both a collector and giver of information, preferring to deal with words as opposed to anything else. He has developed a good reputation for following through on promises made, to the point that it has almost become as valuable as a currency.Still, his ultimate desire is to simply embrace the moment itself - so if you are not after such interactions, he will be glad to bring company to you for an evening of wonder regardless; the merit, he finds, is in the moment itself - not what is gained from it as a result.
02.
Besides his socialite status, he is also a pilot of some renown - belonging to a crew whom he is extremely loyal to. For any and all who wish to take to the skies, they need only ask to climb aboard - though his word is not the final one.
Those who have equally taken to the skies of Dravania will have doubtless seen their vessel on their travels, though such sightings have been spotted around the continents, too.Have you need of goods to be delivered? Packages to be dropped off? You need look no further; he would be glad to be of service, should you have sufficient coin - or a favour in return.
03.
Moonwhisper is a moniker he chose for himself, for the viera wants nothing to do with his initial naming convention. He holds much respect for their culture and customs, though the sanctity of it was robbed of him - and has been replaced.
Before Thavnair, there were the vast forests he wandered - alone and without companionship. He did not mind this one bit, of course. At least, until Garlean occupation overtook their sacred lands. He fought valiantly - so much so that he had impressed the battalion that charged against him.Rather than grant him a death in combat, they imprisoned him - taking him in as a conscript for their armies. He did not do so willingly, and as a young man he was rather eager to burn the entire memory when he had been rescued by those he now considers his crewmates - and Captain.He would not be opposed to speaking with others who may have been in the same position as he - though they will doubtless be puzzled as to how he knows so much, given he is not even remotely recognisable from those days.

L aurence quo Drusus was once his name; a title he wore with pride as a badge of honour. He had every hopes of becoming Legatus upon his father's retirement - had he and his battalion not met their end at the Warrior's hands. Stranded in occupied Doma, he was instructed to remain incognito at his father's request in the hopes of regaining a foothold. Though it was his initial intent to follow through, he soon found himself coming to care for the Doman whom had nursed him back to health - and, as time progressed, he learned the truth of the nation he once took pride in; the lies upon which it had been built. His identity a secret to the vast majority, he now supports the Populares in their endeavours - seeking to make amends for the atrocities their nation had committed, whilst also coming to terms with the atrocities committed unto them. Were history not to repeat itself... he must ensure their story be told, as well. However sour it may taste.

Though he is Garlean, he does not make it apparent when socialising with those who don't hail from his homeland Presenting himself under a different name, he attempts to conduct business in the way any other would.
His current role within Firelight Trading company has him acting much as a courier, as well as a mechanic - given his experience with magitek and technology in general.There is good change you shall meet him simply through inquiring via the company. He may not be the best conversationalist, but his presence is undoubtedly there.
02.
Of course, his identity is not only something he keeps from Hydaelyn - but from his fellow man, as well. In abandoning his people, the seed had been planted that the boy had died in the Doman battlefields.
Needless to say it would be a surprise for another Garlean to find that he was alive and well - being a somewhat well-known individual, though not so much as to be an instantly recognisable figure.On the other hand, those within Yanxia may recognise him for entirely different reasons. He treads with extreme caution, but knows he must confront his deceptions eventually.
03.
For those who have found it in their hearts to work with the Garleans - he does often work with the Populares, in the hopes of establishing good relations with the various city-states and inhabitants beyond Garlean territory.
It is possible that you could meet him on any such mission pertaining to regaining stability in Garlemald - or attaining peace with a town, city or even nation.Here is where you will find him to be most willing to talk about his thoughts. Oftentimes he has bitten his tongue, not wishing to share his opinion for fear of offense - something he has since learned, having been away from his homeland for some time.

Niklaus, better known as Klaus, is part of a high house of Ishgard. Being the eldest of several children, he was set to inherit the wealth and lands of his family once his father, Gavyn, had passed. Unfortunately for him such a task did not come easy; Niklaus was a gentle heart, and his father's ambition often led the Drehers towards dark paths. Though Klaus did all he could to cease his advances, Gavyn would not relent - and such foolhardiness would cause not only Klaus' downfall, but their family's as a whole. Their family had scattered long ago, Klaus not daring to return to the home that was once his own. Though his life was far different from what he had ever known, he was eager to do right by his name - his family's name - in the hopes to repair the damage left behind by his father - and his siblings, alike.

T he events which surround the Dreher household are complex, but not for those politically inclined. An issue of ascension, most knew: Klaus' sister, in particular, was not happy with the fact that her claims were cast aside.
Klaus would insist the story to be more complicated than that, for he does love his sister - and his siblings, in fact - but the truth cannot remain hidden from prying eyes for long. Their family history ended in bloody violence; the death of their father, at the hands of his own siblings.Many wonder if Klaus ran because he, too, is guilty. Though they are quick to be cast aside as baseless accusations that Klaus frequently denies.
02.
T he Plot & Hook is Klaus' answer to keeping himself busy, with all the time he now has. He is able to use his wealth and status, as well as his noble skills, to create for himself - and for the citizens - a solid business.
For one with much wealth, working alongside a company with much more, the place is rather quaint and charming - and complete with meeting rooms to suit the needs of any and all clientele.There are times the man himself will reach out in kind, offering invites to those who are of interest. Though the pattern of what exactly sparks his interest is a little erratic - the common thread seems to be those who, much like himself, wish to see reforms in the day-to-day lives of those inhabiting the city-states. A common cause, after all, calls for a club in which to confide and converse in.

K laus does, of course, have information on the truth of what happened the day his father passed. Such events, however, pale in comparison to that which currently ails him - and his family, to boot.
His father, hungry for power, sought to take power from the ever-hungering void - and attempted, in brokering a deal, to out-manoeuvre them. He succeeded, to a degree: trapping the souls of many denizens in large iron collars - though to use such power required one to wear it.Such was his mistake, then - for once wearing the piece, it was bound to them - the process of a soul transference taking place. Niklaus was enraged when Gavyn utilised his younger sister for this task. Foolhardy of him, perhaps, to follow in her footsteps - for something as foolish as to ensure she would not be alone in her suffering.Fighting against the voidsent that threatens to consume him is, at times, an impossible task. Though his work keeps him busy, he is intentionally seeking out someone who may be able to help him with his ailment. Cleansing may not be possible, he knows - but prolonging the inevitable? That seems much more plausible. At least, it is his hope...

She is a woman of few words, with a story not worth its salt in telling - lest you were a particular fan of tragedy. A humble girl in a quaint fishing village - abandoned by a loving father; neglected by a scornful mother, and betrayed by her first and only lover. She has suffered a great deal of loss - much like others, she is sure. That is not what haunts her. Betrayal stung her deeply, but the beast which pursues his chase against her even now concerns her a great deal more - especially knowing that not even a barrier between worlds can save her from his grasp. Still, such is not a story she ever tells - you need only know of her as a sellsword for hire, willing to do any job if the payment is right.

T hough a great many sellsword and adventurer exist for hire in Eorzea, Valentine specialises in the fact that she will take on any role that is required of her - provided your payment is sufficient enough.
She is intimidatingly efficient when it comes to showing her credentials - from her knowledge of monsters, primals, and other paranormal entities - to her knowledge of a variety of combat styles. Whatever the job may entail, she is confident she will be able to get it done for you in a timely manner....and she cares not whether it is on the more dastardly side. One needs only find her to inquire - and she frequents bars enough to be available for a face-to-face consult.
02.
T here is but one secret Valentine holds - and it is that which pertains to her home. She escaped from her original world, as she is running from an entity that will go to any lengths to track her down and capture her - for reasons unknown.
No small manner of voidsent are often thrown in her direction, as that which chases her has offered quite the incentive to any voidsent that is able to bring Valentine back to him alive and unharmed (they stress unharmed)....this could, of course, be turned around - for Valentine is adamant on bringing an end to the being chasing her, and is willing to parley with anyone willing to undertake the challenge with her. It is the one time her stoic nature would break; promising just about anything to someone who successfully helps her with her endeavour. Though she warns it will not be an easy task, thus does she know the payment she must give will be very steep indeed.
03.
D eath follows her everywhere - her friends and loved ones having been taken from her far, far too soon by the very being that chases her down now. He spared her for reasons unknown, and she seeks to put her dead friends to rest.
Should she find out about individuals who are skilled in death rites and rituals, she may confide in you in a moment of sombreness the fate that befell her back home....should they be able to offer her, and the souls that linger around her, the peace that they so very much deserve - all the better. She would owe them an incredible debt. Particularly if they can aid with her pride and joy - her little brother, Cohen, who has not known peace since his untimely fall.
04.
V alentine, for reasons not explained by her, has quite the stash of trinkets and goodies - both mundane and rather dangerous - in her possession. Though she would not necessarily part ways with them easily...
All the same, studious as she is, she would be willing to show them to any patron who was able to show their prowess with such antiques to her - both for her own understanding of what exactly she carried, as well as to aid her in her long-term goals.Should a particular relic catch your eye, she may even be willing to part ways with it - though it would not come cheap, and some things are very much so off-limits to people - regardless of their offer. Of course, it could be taken by force... or other devious means. She is well aware of the potential target she paints on her back, sharing such information.

Alaric is the owner of a pop-up bar known as Corde Rossi - or Red String. It was not his first foray into this world, but it's certainly the one that he is most known for; an ever-changing venue, offering tales and stories and magicks and trinkets. Whatever the heart may so desire can be founded near to the elezen. Though an interesting and rather eccentric character, however, few people leave with any knowledge pertaining to his own self - and can only really piece threads together from the scraps he offers in conversation. As is his intention, of course - to be a mystery to unfold for the masses. Delve if you must, says he - he is certain you will find something undoubtedly tantalising.

The man has many haunts - often founded within higher society and finer walks of life, though he does not turn away those of a common ilk. Be it at his pop-up, or at his current place of employ - doubtless you will find him nearby.
Whilst it might not be the most exciting, it certainly is the easiest method of contacting him - by either engaging him in his own business or at his current employment. He will be happy to indulge and any all curiosities that come his way - whatever their reason may be.
02.
There exists a well-known rumour that he was once a Sharlayan scholar - a professor, even, with a promising future and a real potential to heighten himself to becoming a member of the esteemed Forum of renown...
Yet, without warning, the threads crumbled; the opportunity dwindled into nothingness - and no explanation has ever been given. To those outside of Sharlayan it may be nary a whisper. For those from there, however... it is a very well-known tale - whispers and rumours all the same. Perhaps you wish to follow the thread to its fruition by asking the man himself. Especially upon seeing the faded tattoo that sits on his cheek, bearing a remarkable semblance to an Archon's design...
03.
It is no secret that Alaric is an eccentric individual - though those familiar with death will really see how much sentiment the man holds for it. From trinkets, to rituals, to prayers of the afterlife - it can all be seen upon him in some sense.
^The truth of the matter is - he studies it in its entirety. Necromancy; hemalurgy; hemomancy. It can be veiled, of course, with his practice of thaumaturgy - and its very close tie to Nald'thal in Ul'dah - but there is the chance to see more there than meets the initial eye. His reasons behind his studies, however, are entirely unknown. Should you find yourself wanting to delve deeper to unlock potentials perhaps thought previously hidden from you - Alaric may be the man to speak to. ^
04.
For whatever reason, people often find themselves coming to his pop-up and revealing to him the depths of their hearts. Perhaps it is the liquor causing the lips to loosen - a common happenstance, of course, but curious all the same.
^The pop-up is a small affair - three to four guests at most - and he insists always on being the one to mix the drinks, using a unique blend of liquors few can get a line on. Surprising, though, that he always seems to know what it is they'd like - and what exactly they would like within a venue. The place is ever-changing, and though Alaric is a talented man people who have experienced his venue do often wonder... ^
^Perhaps you have heard of the establishment, or been to it yourself. Perhaps you've noted the very sudden changes to the scenery; a few relics that seem... a little out of our time period; a little too peculiar. Perhaps you simply wish to know - truly know - what kind of drinks he manages to procure, if only to be able to make them yourself. ^
