History
Before The Calamity
Post Calamity
Awake in Ul'Dah
I woke to find myself lying in a cot in a grand hall made of stone. All around me were more cots and piles of blankets, impromptu beds numbering in the hundreds. Most of those cots were occupied with men and women of every race. Around the beds, more men and women wandered, checking on the occupants, murmuring soothing words in comforting tones or checking on bandages or testing for fevers. It was easily the largest infirmary I had ever seen, but it was clear that this room was not built to treat the sick and injured - it was a makeshift setup necessitated by... what?
Alley Imp
I stayed in the Ul'dah infirmary for another week because I had nowhere else to go. The healers didn't wish to toss out a woman with no name and no home, but in the end, they had no choice. The great beast Bahamut was still tearing up the countryside and refugees were flooding into the city every day. So, after a week of rest, I made my way out into the city proper with nothing more than the clothes on my back.
Raising my Fists
The blows continued for several minutes, but I think I blanked out for a good part of it. The next thing I knew, a pair of large hands slipped under my arms and lifted me to my feet. I couldn't see through the haze of pain, nor could I hear through the ringing in my ears, but I think the owner of the hands said something. I stumbled a little and the hands caught me just as I blacked out again.
Additional Info
The Rumor Mill
- Common Rumors (Easily overheard)
- "Did you know that she's from the Garlean Empire? You can still hear her accent when she's drunk or angry."
- "Supposedly, she doesn't remember the Battle of Cartenaeu or anything that came before it. Runa Dawning probably isn't even her real name!"
- Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)
- "She's really good with gems and metals, and she's a natural goldsmith, but she knows very little about the craft. I wonder what she used to do if she wasn't a craftsman?"
- Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)
- "My cousin's girlfriend's sister's best friend said that Runa was able to tell her about her mother just from holding their old family ring!"
- PC Rumors (From Other Characters)
- "Runa can actually listen to metals! No wonder she's such a good goldsmith. The metals talk to her as she works them!"
- Things You Can't Possibly Know (But I want you to know OOCly)
- Runa was one of the Garlean Empire's magitek technicians at the Battle of Carteneau. Her partner was her twin sister, who is presumed to have died during the battle. Runa doesn't remember anything, but sometimes she dreams of her sister.
