Morgana Browne

Morgana Lynette Alice Browne is a young woman of Sharlayan descent, born to a teacher and a healer. She spent the first years of her life, living in New Sharlayan, until the Garlean forces pushed the denizens of the settlement to abandon it and return to their motherland.She and her parents settled in a small farming village, not far from the city. Morgana's mother, Lynette, taught the younglings of the village everything she could. Morgana's father, Kayne, on the other hand, would take care of those who were ill with such skill and effectiveness, he earned himself a reputation that would bring those from neighbouring settlements to be treated, and, on occasion, he would be summoned to the city to take care of special cases once in a while.When Morgana reached the age of sixteen, she was fortunate enough to secure herself a place at The Studium, where she went and studied all manner of things, focusing mostly on classes relating to arcanima and astromancy, having had a fondness for both arts since she was young. She would take what extra classes she could and did dip into a few other fields to sate her thirst for knowledge. The more she learned, the more she realised she could not learn everything, but that only made her determined to learn as much as she could. She made a good many friends while there, including a red-haired miqo'te, possessed of two-toned eyes like herself, and a pair of very young elezen, who were exceptionally bright and skilled for their age.Upon returning from the Studium, Morgana took up a post at her father's clinic, and would be left in charge should he have to go to the city. Over her time there, her ability as a healer grew, but some people would often still come to her to have their fortunes read from the deck of sixty. She would also endeavor to aid her mother in the classroom when she was not needed in the clinic. She would do whatever jobs were required of her to keep both her parents sane.Throughtout her time living in the village, she became very close to a young hyur boy called Mordred Ravenholme. The two were close friends and would do everything they could together, including attend the Studium. He taught her some of the more outdoors-y things she has done, including the survival tricks he knew. His father was a travelling merchant and would on occasion take his son with him to all kinds of far-flung places. Mordred was bitten with the desire to see more as a result, and the stories Morgana's parents told her left her wanting to go and explore too. However, Morgana felt it was her duty to work at the clinic and was reluctant to leave that behind.Four and a half years after the Seventh Umbral Calamity, Mordred made up his mind to travel and explore Eorzea, hoping to learn more of the arts of the blade that he had become so enamoured with on his journeys with his father. It was only a few painful months of longing and several nudges from her parents before Morgana packed her bag and set off after him, determined to have her own stories to tell him when she found him. And thus, about five years after she awoke to see the destruction wrought by Bahamut, did she catch a boat and head to Limsa Lominsa to see it for herself.

Precious little of a past life is known. It is knowledge she keeps close to her chest, but had relied on in recent times of need.

Azem was her title. Soteria was her name.Her soul was bright, always glistening, shifting between hues of pink and blue. Hades and Hythlodaeus would often liken it to an opal or mother-of-pearl. Her eyes matched her soul and seemed to also shift too.Never heavily gifted in any one art or field of study, it was her ability to know who to reach to in times of need that helped her earn the seat that she was so proud to hold.

Kaede TsuwamonoOriginally form Sui-no-Sato, Kaede has always had a fondness for plant, regardless of whether they are from above or below the wave. Though many tried to discourage her from it, she had been ever curious of the world above the waves. When a chance came, she was determined not to let it go, and found herself sailing all the way to Vylbrand. Lacking the further funds needed to get to mainland Aldenard, she used the last of her money to purchase tools and worked completing gathering levequests for the adventurers guild. She continued to do this until an advertisement for a gardening apprentice came up at Her Embrace. Kaede took to her new role like a natural and is always excited when new and interesting plants are bought her way.

Fraegeim ZwynsyngwynKind and knowledgeable, Fraegeim has done her fair share of travelling over the years which have taken her to many far-flung corners of the star, including Thavanar, Hingashi and Sharlayan. The one thing she found a love for while travelling was conversation and the different kinds of drinks that people would share. She arrived back in Limsa Lominsa not long after the Seventh Umbral Calamity. Having witnessed the horrors from the sea, she felt it only right that she work to bring comfort to those who needed it. Knowing that most tend to turn to drink in their most dire times, she sought to become a bartender, that she may listen to the woes of those who came to sit in her company. One night, she was graced with the company of one of the members of Word of Love, who told her of their company. She made a point of getting a job with them the moment a vacancy was open. One of those who did not wish to leave for Hingashi, she stayed with the Valkyries and continues tending the bar to this day.
