Refugees who claim to hail from a distant Duskwight enclave known as 'Shadowhaven,' Isondre and her brother Isandor have arrived in Eorzea to make an impact, for good or ill. Despite their tendency to be outspoken in their disdain for city life -- and many of the cities' occupants -- they have garnered something of a reputation as mercenaries.

Isondre is skilled with a bow, and takes pride in her most prized possession, a black batskin quiver embossed with a peregrine. In combat, she is tenacious, agile, and fiercely protective of her brother, often seeming to prioritize his safety over her own. More than one foe, thinking to be clever by attacking the skilled lanceman from the rear, has suddenly sprouted an arrow from the eye.

Is there more to this story? Some wonder if the strange visitors are all they claim to be.


For those who possess a deeper knowledge of the Duskwight Elezen:

Highlight beneath to reveal secrets your character would know:

  • Knowledge check DC 30 (Your character has studied the 'classics' of ancient Elezen civilization, or had ancient Elezen bedtime stories read to them:
The names Isandor and Isondre appear as the names of royalty in Shen Lunaire Toi'vre, one of the oldest surviving Elezen texts.
  • Knowledge check DC 40(Your character has extensive knowledge of Elezen families and heraldry):

Secret:

A peregrine crest belonged to one of the old Elezen royal bloodlines, House Peregrine.
  • Knowledge check DC 100(Your character knows everything there is to know about Duskwight Elezen, and then some):


There is no Duskwight settlement called Shadowhaven. That, too, is a literary reference, from the ancient poem Aielle Dathre Poirét, or To Return To My Love.
