| |
| − | Tempest's was born to Baron Raudulfr Kells, a wealthy farmer and known red mage from Rolanberry Fields. Her mother is Janiel Mar Heil, who was born to a mage family that had immigrated to Windurst to focus on mystic studies. Janiel's family disowned her when they discovered that she was practicing the forbidden art of Summoning. On her own, she headed towards Jeuno, where she met Raudulfr, their love for each other was instant. They were soon married, making Janiel a Baroness by marriage.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As Baron, Raudulfr began to suspect corruption from the Grand Duchy of Jeuno. He gathered like-minded individuals to form a coup. But, while the rebellion was small, Kam'lanaut eliminated all its members, personally seeing to the destruction of the Kells Estate. Raudulfr battled with Archduke to provide distraction for a very pregnant Janiel to escape. Raudulfr has not been seen since.

| |
| − | Fleeing as far as she could, Janiel travelled through Batallia Downs, making her way to the Kingdom of San d’Oria. She was forced to stop in the stormy Jugner Forest when she was beset with labor pains. Finding shelter in a cave, she gave birth to the only child of the Baron and Baroness Kells. She named her Theresa Marie. Afraid to stay still, Janiel forged forward until she made into the Forest of Ronfaure. Found by a patrolling knight, she was given shelter by the Longfalls Family. The matriarch of the family took pity on the mother and her newborn and bequeathed them a small shop with an apartment above it. Not wanting to draw attention by using her married name, Janiel chose to use the eldest tribal name of her ancestors, Inwudu.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Janiel realized early on that Theresa had a penchant for magic, thinking it best to carry on the tradition of never revealing one’s true name; Janiel began to call her daughter Tempest, for she was born during a storm. Janiel soon opened the store front, selling potions and herbal remedies as the local apothecary, but while business was successful, their social life was not. Tempest found it hard relating to the Elvaan children. It didn't help that Tempest was on a strict routine, school and then home for her mother's own private lessons in the arcane. But friendship soon came.

| |
| − | When she was seven, Tempest found herself at the torment of many a playground bullies, until the day that Sephriah Longfall stepped in and took a beating for her. She didn't ask him why, she just took him back to her mother and had him patched up. The two became the best of friends and almost inseparable. They could often be found in her room, where she would teach him some of her spells.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As the two got older, conflict came when attraction built between them. As the two found themselves feeling desire to each other, Sephriah's father disapproved of them pursuing any relationship. His father’s fear proved unnecessary. Experimentation proved that their bond was not destined to become romantic. Their friendship was put through the test when Tempest’s mother limited their time so Tempest could deepen her mystic studies. Having suffered his father enough, Sephirah had decided to leave San d'Oria for a life of adventure. Tempest was furious with him for leaving her behind. Her relationship became even more strained when he would write about his adventures while she was stuck minding her mother's shop.

| − | Returning a letter to Sephirah, she demanded that he come home and save her from a life of boredom. In the middle of the night, she lept over the wall and into the waiting arms of her best friend. The two had many great adventures, but young Tempest was not ready to share her friend with all his adventurer allies. Tensions began to rise and Tempest withdrew from his circle and journeyed on her own, delving deeper and harder into mystic studies. She traveled all over the Vana'diel, studying all forms of magic she could get her hands on, including the arts of Divination.
| + | Janiel was born to a large family, she was third child of four. Her immediately family was part of a nomad tribe that consisted of her extended family. All members were in some part mages, they traveled Vana'diel selling spells, talismans and potions. When Janiel was a teenager, her parents settled for a brief time in Windurst. It was there she picked up the art of Summoning. When the tribe found out, she was banished. |
| | | | |
| | + | Forced to live on her own, she applied her trades like her forefathers. She sold potions and talismans and made her way to Rolanberry. She became a hired hand for the Kells Farm, where she caught the eye of the heir, Raudulfr. The mere attraction of a peasant infuriated Raudulfr's mother, Vedis. She set assassins after Janiel, but she fought them off. Unknowning her was attacking her, Janiel crafted spells to protect her and a curse to destroy her enemies. Vedis died and Raudulfr took control of the farm and estate. He persued Janiel and the two were soon married. |
| | | | |
| − | While searching the skies and stars for a hint of the future, Tempest foresaw Vana'diel falling to the Void. At first, she studied all she could about the Void in order to prevent what she saw. Eventually, she came to the conclusion that Vana'diel was a lost cause. She crafted a spell that would take her to a world that was not destined to such a fate, but instead she fell into her worst nightmare. The spell opened up a vortex into the Void, pulled in by the dark, Tempest would never set foot on Vana'diel's soil again.

| | | | |
| | + | Janiel took to running the farm quite well, but she never liked politics. She stayed away from court, but grew intensely distraught upon learning the true nature of the Grand Duke of Jeuno and his brother. The Baron and her started a rebellion, which was soon squashed. Ending with Raudulfr's end and the destruction of the Estate. Nine months pregnant, Janiel fled, forced to give birth in the wildy and stormy Jugner Forest. Not wanting stop until reaching safety, a weakened Janiel marched foreward until she reached San d'Oria. |
| | | | |
| − | '''The Void''' | + | Janiel was given pity by the matriarch of the Longfall family of San d'Oria. She set up a apothecary shop, where she earned a modest income and could raise her child, Tempest. She taught her daughter relentlessly, while continuing to further her own mystic talents. |
| | | | |
| | + | Janiel dispised many of the Elvaan, all of them treated her like a second-rate citizen. But, she accepted Sephirah into her house. He was the only person that Tempest seemed to get along with. Though she resented him when he helped Tempest run away from home to be an adventurer. |
| | | | |
| − | Tempest’s arrival in the Void was wrought with terror. The voidsent immediately tried to snuff her out, it took all the skill she possessed to survive. Being a child of an unconquered world and surviving the tirades of voidsent, Tempest grew a small reputation. She soon gained a bounty on her head, but try as they might, she would not die. Ultimately she turned the eyes of the Cloud of Darkness. The confrontation was more than Tempest could bear. The Cloud had enjoyed the Tempest’s tenacity; she offered Tempest a choice, to die by her hand or to serve it. With little options left, Tempest entered into servitude.
| + | After spending years away from home, Tempest revealed to Janiel that Vana'diel was too far in the dark to be saved. While Tempest tried to find a means to escape, Tempest was lost to the Void. Distraught, Janiel delved harder into her magic, hoping to find a way to save her daughter. |
| | | | |
| − | | + | '''Through the Void and Onward''' |
| − | Tempest performed a variety of tasks for the Cloud, including personal dancer and songbird, degrading herself for all manner of unholy creatures. When a Lord of the Void became too presumptuous, Tempest killed the demon. Though the lords were in an uproar, the Cloud was intrigued that Tempest could summon such power so deep in the Void. The Cloud elevated Tempest, she had her trained by the succubi and soon Tempest was luring poor souls to their doom. Tempest took joy in her dark tasks, reveling in finally not living in terror, but inflicting it. Tempest continued to elevate herself; she eventually earned the opportunity to go on a raid into an unconquered world. She was tasked with bringing in a young girl to the Void, one with potential the Cloud wanted to corrupt.

| |
| − | Tempest took a small contingent into a camp; they annihilated all those that opposed them and all those that didn’t. Tempest found the child, but she found something else. A divined vision, she was not possessed of the Sight, but she was struck with a sense that this was what she was looking for. Her spell that took her to the Void had come full circle. It had led her to a world that was unconquered and full of light and hope, Hydaelyn. Tempest returned to the Void and gave the child to the Cloud. She then sought out to form a plan that would ensure her freedom.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To strive in the Void and to retain her power in any world that she had to visit, the Cloud had slowly begun to alter Tempest’s body. Tempest concocted a potion that would remove the changes and allow her to roam freely again and rid herself of the Cloud’s control. But, Tempest did not have the power to open portals. That had been restricted to keep her check. Knowing that imps were notorious for slipping through small dimension tears, she seduced a small group of them until they showed her where one was to Hydaelyn.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Tempest drank her potion, voidal energy ripped from her body. For the first time in years, Tempest looked like herself. She stepped through the tear and left her life of slavery behind.

| |
| − | Tempest arrived with the imps in Spirithold in North Shroud. The Wood Wailers were investigating the area, led by a B’ern Fhey, a male Miqo’te. To her surprise she could understand them, a lingering effect of her time in the Void, she assumed. The imps attacked, Tempest tried to stop them, but no longer possessing her voidal powers and her own magic was out of sorts. She accidentally incinerated both imps and Wood Wailers.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Wandering and afraid, she stumbled across a town meeting in a small Hamlet in the Shroud. The people demanded answers and revenge for what happened at Spirithold. B’ern’s widow, Bianca, asked for patience and kindness, to give the Wood Wailers and the Elder Seedseer time. Tempest, looking ragged, offered Bianca her condolences. Sensing a true genuine sorrow from Tempest, Bianca took pity on her and offered Tempest shelter in her Manor. The two became close friends and Tempest found the peace and quiet needed to start to stabilize and refocus her personal magics.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Her solitude with Bianca came to end when the Cloud sent her agents after Tempest when she learned of her whereabouts. The Cloud had Bianca’s three children possessed. The Seedseers were unable to help and Tempest had not yet the fine control to perform an exorcism. Fully corrupted, the children had to be killed. Unable to do it herself, Bianca pleaded Tempest to do the job. After that, Tempest could not stay at the Manor. Bianca gave Tempest enough money to be comfortable and Tempest took Fey as a surname, an homage to the first kindness and worst horror she experienced in Hydaelyn.

| |

| |

| |
| − | Tempest travelled Eorzea, aligning herself with the magic of this new world and studying its history, lore and sorceries. It didn’t take long for her to regain her skills and confidence, but it was in battle with a dark mage that her life changed. After she dispatched him, she took a small stone from his corpse. For the first time since she came to this world, she felt the power she once possessed in Vana’diel. She would never let this Soulstone go.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the deserts of Southern Thanalan, Tempest came across Ala Mhigan refugee, Ephiny Zora. Skilled with daggers, the young woman was fighting with a group of overzealous men. Having killed one already, the attackers were out for Ephiny’s blood. Tempest sensed something unique in the young woman, she intervened. When the men refused to listen to Tempest, Tempest killed the group. Tempest took Ephiny under her wing, teacher her magic, while Ephiny dedicated her daggers to her, becoming her Blade. The two travelled far and wide, in search of the one thing Tempest wanted more than anything else, Soulstones.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Running low on funds, Tempest returned to Gridania. Ephiny stayed with Bianca, staying close by to continue her training. Tempest came across Captain Marcus Feral, offering her sorcery to help him turn a profit. Their partnership proved lucrative and allowed her the financial stability needed to further her research.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Eventually, Tempest had decided that she needed to delve deeper into studying the Void, Soulstones and the Astrology of the North. She left Captain Feral's company, took Ephiny with her and continued her travels once more.

| |
| − | Tempest ran across Sephirah in Ul’Dah, his physical appearance changed by his own travels through the Void, but she recognized him regardless. Refusing to part with him after being separated for so many years, she decided to remain close to him, especially to monitor him after his exposure to the Void. She moved in with him to a detestable house filled with psychotics, whores and swindlers. Despite the disgusting and poorly decorated home of the Remnants, the two quickly rekindled their friendship.
| |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | Tempest’s research and collecting had finally paid off, she developed a way to open a gateway via the Void to Vana’diel. She planned to bring her mother to Hydaelyn. The spell was dangerous, she would needed aide, and Sephirah was the first to offer. The spell came at a high cost, after years of living a life of freedom, Tempest aroused the attention of the Cloud of Darkness once more. The Cloud allowed Janiel to pass through freely, in exchange of a favor from Tempest and Sephirah in the future.
| + | After years of trying to find her daughter, Tempest made contact with her mother. Janiel prepared herself for travel between realms as Tempest ripped a portal between worlds, bringing Janiel to Hydaelyn. |
| | | | |
| | + | Janiel turned the tables on her daughter, leaving her daughter to explore her new world. She returned to try and stop her daughter from exploring with so many soulstones. She failed and Tempest was lost. First she went insane, then her body dispersed into the aether. Janiel concocted a spell to bring her back, having Ephiny do all the work. |
| | | | |
| − | Situations at the Goblet became erratic; Tempest and Janiel parted ways with Sephirah and reunited with Ephiny. They travelled east and set up in a little hamlet.
| + | With Tempest restored, Janiel has remaind close by to help her transition back to being corporeal. |

| − | '''The Last Year'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Refusing to fall victim to the Cloud once again, Tempest aggressively collected as many Soulstones as she could, getting ahold of six. She understood that someone could take them from her as she did from others. She placed herself under strict and often violent rituals that prepared her body for an influx of power. When she had completed all the necessary rites, Tempest consumed all six Soulstones. The act caused an explosive aetheric reaction that Janiel and Ephiny barely survived.

| − | That was a year ago, Tempest has been missing ever since. Now Ephiny is on the hunt to find her mentor and friend. </div>
