Appearance
Miir'a stands at five fulms and one ilm, and is thin. He has shoulder length light grey hair with silver streaks, most often worn in a braid at the back of his head with a loose fringe, though on occasion is loose. He possesses a set of large yellow eyes and small fangs. He possesses small facial markings denoted to males underneath both eyes, and a lunar symbol upon his forehead. His features are small, and his tail is long. Between his shoulders a brand can be seen which marks him as one of the original Warriors of Light.
Personality
Miir'a is a quiet individual who prefers to keep to himself. While good natured, he prefers to give people of all nationalities, creeds, or races an extremely wide berth and actively avoids all contact whenever he can - even going as far as to change course based on proximity to others. For this reason, Miir'a does not call anywhere home. He is nomadic, and travels Eorzea alone, conducting research on varying aetherial phenomena. His travels do bring him back to Ul'dah on occasion, usually to restock or to earn money to supplement his travels. If forced into interaction, Miir'a remains mostly silent, and when conversation is forced from him he responds awkwardly and tends to stammer, often unto the point of seeming idiotic. In all actuality, Miir'a possesses an intelligence far beyond that of most. He pours himself into all manner of study, and as a result excels in all fields of aether manipulation (thaumaturgy, conjury, and arcanima) and some sciences such as alchemy.
Driven and focused, Miir'a juggles service to the scions of the seventh dawn and his research, though spends his life pursuing an unknown power.
Biography
Miir'a is a legacy character, so 1.0 activity (THM storyline, 1.0 main scenario, end of an era storyline) is shown within his history section.
Following 2.0, he is not the Big Damn Hero of the main scenario. While indeed he was one of the heroes of 1.0, his own storylines within 2.0 have taken precedence.
Childhood
Miir'a was born to Ain Lahfina, matriarch of a Thavnarian group of nomadic desert huntresses. Born the youngest, and dwarfed by seven siblings, Miir'a struggled with his training as a hunter. Put simply, he had no aptitude for hunting, archery, or any of the disciples of war. He was a disappointment to his mother, who, as result, decided to instruct his siblings and wayside Miir'a. Miir'a himself spent his time fletching arrows for his sisters and generally busying himself with other chores while the others spent their time hunting. As the group traveled, fought and defeated rival groups looking to hunt on lands Ain declared her territory, Miir'a's elder sister gifted him a book on thaumaturgy plundered from a defeated enemy unit. In his spare time he absorbed everything from the tome he could. He found that he was able to grasp the basic concepts of aether manipulation easily. Seeing the fact that her youngest was not entirely useless, Ain plundered more reading material, eventually entrusting the task of star reading to him.
As per Keeper of the Moon custom, Miir'a was forced to leave his home and seek his fortune when he came of age, alongside his siblings. As such, he decided to travel to Eorzea and pursue the life of an adventurer - settling within a pre-Calamity Ul'dah and becoming a thaumaturge.
Teenage
The sixth Astral Era
Arriving in Ul'dah in the Sixth Astral Era, Miir'a bore witness to an Ul'dahn parade gone wrong when a magically fettered goobue escaped and rampaged. Alongside the elezen goldsmith Niellfresne and a strange hyur named Thancred, he subdued the Goobue - not before it severely injured a man named Warburton as he sought to protect his daughter, Ascilia, from the creature. Enrolling in the Adventurer's Guild, Miir'a was taken under the wing of the proprietress, Momodi Modi, and performed odd jobs for Momodi in exchange for residence within the Quicksand. He worked with Thancred to uncover the truth behind the parade's accident, as well as find truth behind the rumours that Ul'dah sought to war with the invading Garlean Empire - finding eventually that the incident at the parade was no accident.
The sons and daughters of the Syndicate - the most powerful faction in Ul'dah comprised of the wealthiest benefactors - staged the parade's accident in order to both defame their mothers and fathers and fan the flames of war against the Empire by swaying public opinion. They set the goobue escape up and planned to use a local gladiator, Grienfarr, to take the goobue down and win both the respect and support of the people so they could go to war against the Empire. At this point Miir'a and Thancred learn that Warburton died from his injuries, and his daughter is orphaned. At this point as well, Miir'a learns that Warburton was not an Ul'dahn citizen. He was, in fact, rumoured to be an Imperial spy - and the heirs of the Syndicate wish to reanimate his body to learn of any future attack by the Empire upon Ul'dah - goaded by the words "Something worse than the Empire is coming" by his daughter, Ascilia.
Miir'a and Thancred attempt to stop Niellfresne before he can reanimate Warburton's body, but find they are too late as they stumble upon Niellfresne's dying form at the Ossuary - which only points to Ascilia nearby when Thancred asks who killed him. Miir'a watches, horrified, as something happens. He is transported back to the murder; watching Niellfresne's attempts to reanimate Warburton's body. He and Thancred watch as a hooded assailant stabs him in the back. Transported back to the present moment with Thancred, he realizes that Niellfrene has died. Thancred stares at Miir'a in fear, and tells him that the "Something worse than the Empire" is already at hand. Telling her that they must leave, He, Miir'a, and Ascilia escape the Ossuary before bearing witness to a meteor shower outside. It is then that Miir'a passes out; and wakes with Momodi.
At the request of a Syndicate heiress named F'lhaminn, whom adopted Ascilia out of guilt for her hand in the loss of the child's father, Miir'a enrolls within the Order of Nald'thal and becomes an accomplished Thaumaturge, though the mentality of the guild leaves him unhappy with his path. His uncertainty begins when he is informed that Thal, the god of the dead, judges all with his scales; to determine the virtue of all those which have died. Virtue is defined by birth, station, knowledge, wisdom, power and above all; not one's deeds. One's wealth. He is assigned to study under the Prelate Illofii and shortly begins his first assignment -- a vengeance order. Miir'a learns that a wealthy merchant has died, and that he leaves a third of his total estate to the Order of Nald'thal at Arrzaneth Ossuary - and that in exchange for the donation, his will requests that his death is avenged. Prelate Illofii informs Miir'a that life can only pay for life, and a large part of a thaumaturge's duties involve vengeance orders. Miir'a is told that the merchant died in a freak accident where a caravan fell over the edge of some cliffs. The perpetrator has been found and he is expected to take vengeance and is horrified; until she is told that the perpetrator is believed to be a billygoat which merely moved into the road, making the caravan swerve and fall over the edge of the cliff. He takes the appropriate "vengeance" on the poor creature and returns to the Ossuary, where Prelate Illofii informs him that the merchant's soul should surely find peace, as he has taken it's sin upon himself.
Her next assignment sends him to Limsa Lominsa, the city of pirates. He is instructed to spread word of the Ossuaries teachings and "invite" suitably scared into paying patrons to be interred at the Ossuary when they die. In short, he's to be selling graves. Before he departs, he meets an unnamed thaumaturge which informs him, point blank, that the Limsans will never listen to him. The thaumaturge remarks that the Lominsans feel the special benefits and rites promised with the Ossuaries burials are never carried out; further remarking that Limsa Lominsa isn't worth the time. That as they're pirates; more people are lost to sea than anything. Without a body, what burial could there be? The thaumaturge finally tells Miir'a that they are to be judged against one another in all respects, and that she has every intention of showing the superiors within the Order that she is far superior. In Limsa Lominsa, Miir'a finds that the thaumaturge seems to be putting much more effort into selling trinkets than actually working on behalf of the Order to sell graves; and observes the sale of a particular ring. A hyur, Bodemolf, observes the sale as well and places the ring to a friend of his which was murdered by the Sahagin - and interred into the Ossuary with it. He, and Miir'a, realize that the thaumaturge has plundered the girl's grave to obtain the ring to resell. Miir'a is told by Bodemolf that the Order won't be doing any more business in Limsa till they've got rid of their graverobbers. When back at the Ossuary, Miir'a informs the thaumaturge of what he has seen; and is asked by the thaumaturge for proof of his claim. Finally, the thaumaturge asks Miir'a if stealing from the graves of the dead is even such a bad thing - That the Order itself teaches that the dead must leave behind all it's worldly wealth to become virtuous. The thaumaturge also tells Keeper Yayake of Miir'a's accusation; and Yayake punishes Miir'a as result.
Miir'a's next task is to investigate a recent accident involving yet another caravan which had fallen over the edge of a mountain; and that the Thaumaturge Miir'a accused of graverobbing would be dealing with the funerary rites - and Miir'a is saddled with the vengeance orders. Yayake even mentions in closing that Miir'a could stand to learn much from the thaumaturge. Miir'a reports to Prelate Illofii and starts investigating the accident, and sees a vision of the past. He sees the thaumaturge hypnotize the coach driver and cause the accident; and confronts a very angered thaumaturge. Miir'a defeats the thaumaturge and is told by Prelate Illofii that the Order's doctrine prohibits vengeance against it's own members. Prelate Illofii then tells Miir'a to return to the guild. It is then that Miir'a decides to leave the guild, deciding that he can have no part in further profit from the dead.
Miir'a decides to seek out Thancred, and learns that the man no longer resides in Ul'dah. He is told that everything she has encountered thus far actually happened 15 years ago - that there is no Thancred; no Ascilia, and no reanimation of the dead. At least, not in present time. Confused, (After all, to him, it's simply been a matter of months since he witnessed the murder of Niellfresne) he refuses to take the fact as truth. Momodi also has a message for him; that he is directed to go to the Path of the Twelve in Ul'dah by a woman named Minfilia.
Arriving at the Path of the Twelve, Miir'a is greeted by Minfilia herself; and realizes quickly that Minfilia is Ascilia plus 15 years. Minfilia informs Miir'a of his ability - the Echo - and it's intricacies - including the ability to travel through time and experience events first hand though be unable to change the outcome of said events. Furthermore, the Echo grants the bearer the ability to understand any language, written or spoken. The Echo can manifest at any time - Minfilia gained hers from Miir'a 15 years ago at Niellfresne's death - and that the passage of the Echo is always marked via meteor shower... an event which also signifies the birth of a primal. Miir'a learns that the Path of the Twelve exists for those gifted with the Echo, as they are not safe elsewhere - as they are seen as Beastmen by the Empire and the citystates of Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and Gridania. However, Minfilia firmly believes that those with the Echo are tasked with saving Eorzea from the Primals and from the Empire. Minfilia partners Miir'a with Rurune - a Lalafell who lost her home to the Empire. Together, Miir'a and Rurune attempt to treat with the Amal'jaa beast tribe to ask them to cease their aggression against Ul'dah and prevent them from summoning their deity Ifrit; but are taken as captives. Ifrit attempts to Temper Rurune and Miir'a but fails; revealing that those with the Echo cannot be tempered - and that they are to leave his people immediately. Miir'a learns that those which summon Primals are changed in mind, body and heart - transformed and souls darkened. Rurune and Miir'a eventually return to the Path of the Twelve and commence aiding a distress call by the Slyphs - another Beast tribe.
The pair of them are powerless to stop the Garlean Empire from destroying most of the Sylph by burning the Twelveswood, though they manage to save some Podlings (young Sylph) to serve as the tribe's next generation.
Rurune becomes acquainted and eventually accepted into a resistance organization from her lost homeland, and goes against Minfilia's wishes to strike at the Empire alongside the Ala Mihgan resistance. Miir'a follows out of concern; and ends up engaging a Garlean squadron and their Magitek Vanguard while trying to find Rurune in Mor Dhona. Miir'a manages to survive thanks to quick thinking in turning the Vanguard's Magitek cannon onto itself and the soldiers; and is eventually found, injured, by Rurune. The pair move to meet up with the resistance, but are greeted to the horrifying sight of all of the members sprawled dead at Silvertear Falls. Through the heavy fog, Miir'a notices the resistance leader moving toward them, and Rurune runs to greet him. However, it is a trap. It is not the leader; merely his body held aloft by the legatus of the XIVth legion of the Garlean Army's invasion force - Gaius van Baelsar - the Black Wolf. He shoots Rurune and moves to shoot Miir'a, though his attack is intercepted by Thancred - the same man whom allegedly disappeared 15 years ago. Thancred and his associates engage van Baelsar and teleport Rurune and Miir'a away when Baelsar launches a nuclear blast from an overhead Imperial Dreadnaught. It becomes plain that Rurune and Miir'a were supposed to die that day at van Baelsar's hand- though have been saved by Thancred using the Echo or something very like it alongside the rest of the Circle of Knowing in order to save them.
Thancred remarks that Rurune should learn patience if she wishes to stay alive long enough to get revenge on the Empire, and throws Miir'a a Linkpearl. He also mentions in passing that if Miir'a and Rurune need to gain more strength that they need to find the one which gave them the Echo, and ask for more power. He then teleports away. Confused, Miir'a returns to the path of the Twelve to learn that Rurune has left the organization in search of the power Thancred spoke of already. Rurune and Miir'a are never reunited.
End of the sixth Astral Era
It is around this time that words of a prophecy that speaks certain doom for Eorzea comes to light. As such, the Grand Companies of each city state are hastily reassembled, with leaders reinstated which take control of all military protocol. For Miir'a, an Ul'dahn - despite being courted by members of each citystate's Grand Company, his loyalty led to him choosing to serve within the Immortal Flames of Ul'dah. Miir'a learns of an "Archon" by the name of Urianger which travels from Aetheryte to Aetheryte preaching this dark prophecy, and is tasked to bring him to a merchant named Taylor within Ul'dah. Upon meeting Urianger, listening to his words and saying (lying) that he will fight alongside him, the arcanist summons a monster upon her and disappears. Having defeated the creature, Miir'a is surprised to see the presence of Thancred yet again. The bard tells Miir'a that he's pleased to see him again, and tells him of the prophet, Mezaya Thousand Eyes. He then tells Miir'a that a thousand years before, a great calamity befell Eorzea, and the Twelve destroyed it all a great flood - indicating the start of the Sixth Umbral Era of Water. He asks Miir'a if he has the strength to fight against the coming of the Seventh Umbral Era, and informs him that the strength must come from within himself. Miir'a wholeheartedly agrees to help in any way he can. Thancred seems pleased, and tells him that their paths will meet again. Miir'a reports to Taylor that Urianger has escaped, and because of her conversation with Thancred, does not go after him.
Miir'a's first mission for the Immortal Flames involves destroying a Garlean blockade at Little Ala Mihgo. Stunned at seeing the grievousness of the Garlean Empire reaching Thanalan already, Miir'a leaves immediately for Little Ala Mihgo, There, he defeats the Garlean unit holding the road. He learns that the Garleans were there because the sellswords they hired to hold the border were bought for a higher price by Lolorito of the Ul'dahn syndicate, and the unit she took down was an extermination unit, looking for the sellswords. As a result, the Flames must deal with Limsa Lominsa's Maelstrom for an alternative route, though the empire are starting to take control of the sea as well. He is then tasked with brokering the deal between the Flames and arms merchants in Limsa Lominsa. Successful, he returns to the Immortal Flames and is immediately given a new task. Members of the Immortal Flames had been ambushed at the ferry docks Northwest of Camp Horizon. Miir'a makes his way there, tasked with delivering the Flames' vengeance to the perpetrators. Having defeated the (Lominsan?!) pirates responsible, he is surprised to see Urianger and Thancred appear again. They state to him that they work together, are both the "Archons" spoken of so lowly by the general citizenry of Eorzea, and assure him that the rumours of the Archons bringing about the last Umbral era is falsehood. It's merely hearsay and rumour that the Empire spreads, in order to sow seeds of discord in Eorzea -- and make people turn in Urianger, who they are currently hunting. Reassured, Miir'a takes his leave and returns to the Immortal Flames - to be told to witness an address by the Flame General and does so, noting that Thancred is watching as well. He finds him in the crowd and speaks with him, learning that Thancred himself put Raubahn back into Ul'dah in order to reestablish the Grand Company to unite the Ul'dahns, in order to prevent the Seventh Umbral Era from coming.
The Immortal flames then task Miir'a with another task; finding an engineer of the Garlond Ironworks which has gone missing. Miir'a learns that this engineer was actually a Garlean spy sent to infiltrate the Ironworks, and report back on Cid nan Garlond. After having his identity revealed, he fled - after stealing a wealth of secret documents. Miir'a understands that the documents cannot be permitted to reach the empire, and persues the engineer. Unfortunately, he jumps off a cliff before he can be captured. Troubled by his last words of Cid being a traitor, the mention of Dalamud, and van Darnus, he returns to Ul'dah to question Cid. He then learns that Cid fled the empire, in order to stop Dalamud - something the Garlean Empire are going to call down onto Eorzea in order to annihilate everything upon it after years of a stalemate. After returning to the Flames, Miir'a learns that the thaumaturges of Azzurath Ossuary have made a breakthrough. According to them, the fact Dalamud is getting bigger in the sky doesn't mean that the distance between it and the world is lessening. Or that it's falling! It means that Ifrit is simply making it bigger. Somehow. Despite his reservations, Miir'a agrees to defeat Ifrit in order to halt Dalamud's... growth spurt alongside a number of Immortal Flames. He is told a native of Sharlayan is currently within Gridania, and he holds the key to defeating Ifrit. Upon arriving in Gridania, Miir'a makes the acquaintance of an elderly elezen named Louisoix. He learns that he is the head of the Circle of Knowing, Thancred's organization, and that the Primals are draining the land of aether by simply existing. Aether is lifeblood - the very life of the planet. Louisoix points out a way that Miir'a might be able to reach Ifrit, and tasks him with finding six Echo crystals in order to do so.
Louisoix then uses his magicks to merge the six crystals and creates a harmonizing crystal, which is used for making way into the Bowl of Embers - Ifrit's sanctuary. He then asks Miir'a to find the Inferno Flambeau - a sacred relic used for calling Ifrit. Miir'a does; and then faces him. Despite overwhelming odds, Miir'a and the company managed to defeat Ifrit, but his celebration is cut short by the appearance of Nael van Darnus of the Garlean Empire's VIIth Imperial Legion. He congratulates Miir'a on his victory, but warns him of the prophecy before attacking her with power which even stuns his subordinates. Miir'a escapes Darnus and returns to Gridania, only to learn that Darnuses' attack spilled Aether across the land. And, that Ifrit can, and will return made even stronger than before when he is resummoned. Dejected, Miir'a returns to the Immortal Flames. Upon visiting the Hall of Flames, First Lieutenant Aubrey entrusted him with an important task. Reports indicated that Garleans at Silvertear Falls in Mor Dhona have begun to mobilize their forces. The Free Brigade of the Immortal Flames, led by High Commander Jakys Ryder, had already been dispatched to intercept an imperial troop marching for Thanalan. Miir'a was ordered to travel to the vicinity of Camp Black Brush in central Thanalan and find them before they reached Ul'dah.
Free Brigade High Commander Ryder ordered Miir'a to travel to a cave located to the northwest of Camp Black Brush and put down any Garleans he encountered. To protect against the new magitek weaponry they are rumored to have, he provides Miir'a with an imperial disruptor--an instrument devised by the genius that is the Garlond Ironworks. Using the disruptor, he defeats the Garleans and witnesses an Echo detailing Cid's last days as a Garlean - and van Darnus almost killing him for deserting the empire. Returning to the Flames, Miir'a is given a mission to see Louisoix, who has asked for the miqo'te by name. He informs Miir'a of Garuda's summoning, and tasks him to destroy the lady of the vortex in order to stop more Aether being drained from the land. Miir'a manages to do so, and learns that the Beast tribes as well fear the coming of the Empire and the Seventh Umbral era, and their options of fighting against it involve the calling of their Primals. Disconcertingly, Miir'a notices at Garuda's downfall her essence and her Aether floating upward, toward Dalamud. In the light of this, all three Grand Companies decide to work together in order to take on the Empire, who are, by now, on each nation's doorstep. Van Darnus has built Castrum Novum within Mor Dhona, upon ground the Empire have won.
While investigating, Miir'a notices a destroyed Imperial Dreadnaught burning down a Mor Dhonan canyon. She is accosted by Gaius van Baelsar, who does not attack her. Instead, he seems to recognize her from 15 years ago, (somehow) and states that all of Eorzea will be reduced to a flaming husk if Van Darnus succeeds with calling Dalamud down. He goes on to state that van Darnus' manner is altered, changed, by the close proximity of Dalamud, and that he no longer acts on behalf of the Empire. He then, surprisingly, gives Miir'a the blueprints for a device, a Lunar Transmitter, which is calling Dalamud down, and tells the location of it. He states that they are both after the same thing, and that only Cid can save Eorzea now. Miir'a hurries back to the Immortal Flames, and gives them the blueprints -- to meet a familiar face.
Miir'a is reintroduced to his elder sister Mihl, whom has enlisted within the Immortal Flames. Their reunion is cut short however as an offensive against Castrum Novum, the location of the transmitter, is made - and predictably, the Eorzean alliance is massacred by the VIIth legion. Miir'a manages to get inside, and disables the Lunar Transmitter. What he doesn't expect is Nael van Darnus arriving. Indeed, he's changed, and speaks of the races of Eorzea as "animals", "filthy and corrupted" and that he will gift to them the purity of nothingness. He severely injures Miir'a in a blast with his gunhalbard, and then appears to address the moon itself, calling it his master and he it's servant. He seems to absorb power from it, and destroys the Lunar transmitter himself. He tells Miir'a that the destruction of the instrument means nothing, and leaves, walking through the resulting flames engulfing the transmission room, leaving Miir'a to burn alive. From that moment on is plagued by the (infamous) Nightmare; (which was actually a 1.0 cutscene for people which got this far, when they rested in the inn room!) of all about him- soldiers, the Grand Company leaders, even the Sharlayans, dead around him and fading into nothing. Over the corpse of a black wolf, Nael van Darnus comes toward him, and he crouches down covering his head with her hands. He moves his spear back, holds it there for a sickening moment and-
-he wakes up.
At the Flame's behest, Miir'a takes time to recover from his injuries and manages to answer a summons which comes a few weeks later. True to what van Darnus said, the destruction of the Lunar Transmitter meant nothing. The world itself is going mad with the very real possibility of Dalamud hitting, since all options have long expired, and Dalamud is close enough now to shower debris upon Eorzea. Furthermore, cults have rose which worship Dalamud (in the belief worship means they will not die) and a creature named Atomos has risen, sapping the Aether from the Aetheryte crystals upon Eorzea. Teleportation is no longer possible, and the camps themselves are plagued by monsters and Atomos and therefore not safe. In the Black Shroud, the elementals have risen, declaring this calamity mankind's fault and indiscriminately slaughtering travellers and Gridanians both. Furthermore, it's raining in Thanalan. It has been raining for weeks, and Ul'dah is beset by qiqirn venturing in from Thanalan, forming circles, and attacking all that would attack them before leaving. All is in despair. It is revealed van Darnus has constructed a floating island in Coerthas in order to meet Dalamud, and Miir'a is charged with the only thing left - to kill van Darnus on this island. Though fearful, he accepts, and goes alongside Immortal Flame soldiers of great worth, and his sister Mihl. Upon the floating island, Miir'a and his allies engage van Darnus, and appear to have defeated him in an extremely difficult battle. However, van Darnus is not defeated. He accepts more power from Dalamud, and his form changes into Nael Deus Darnus - and he attacks again. It's a hell of a struggle, but Miir'a and Mihl are triumphant. Finally defeated, Miir'a watches silently as his body fades into Aether as it is absorbed by the moon. The floating island starts to fall, and Miir'a and Mihl accept their death. However - Cid, aboard the Enterprise, saves them and bears them safely back to Gridania.
At this point, Miir'a is out for weeks. The battle indeed injured him, the worst he had ever been injured, and his recovery is slow. Mihl, upon seeing that Miir'a will not die, decides to take her leave. Even worse, Despite Darnus' death, Dalamud still continues to fall. Yet with his death, runestones bearing the mark of the Twelve appear upon Eorzea. When recovered, Miir'a is tasked to travel to each, and pray to the Twelve at each rune, that they might save Eorzea. Thancred appears yet again and tells Miir'a that the summoning of the Twelve will happen, that the Circle of Knowing will summon them themselves. But he admits to Miir'a that the Twelve are like the Primals. They have an aetheric cost of being summoned, and that the cost might very well destroy Eorzea before Dalamud does - thanks to the Primals. He states that they have to take that risk in order to have some possible way of saving Eorzea though, and Miir'a agrees with him. Miir'a prays to all of the Twelve at each specified location and returns, readying himself for the final battle with the VIIth Imperial Legion (who still target Eorzea, even without a leader) alongside the three Grand Companies, Cid, those with the Echo, and every other Eorzean adventurer. The last stand is brutal, and only stopped by one thing - Dalamud falling apart above their heads. Garleans, Adventurers, Immortal Flame and Magitek alike all turn and flee at what exactly happens next. Dalamud was not a moon. It's actually a carrying device. From the device comes Bahamut; an enormous Primal. It razes all of Mor Dhona, Coerthas, even the distant nations of Ul'dah, Gridania, and Limsa Lominsa in seconds. And the Twelve are summoned.
Shielded from a blast by Louisoix, Miir'a watches the Elezen evoke the Twelve in an incantation. A new holding device is formed around Bahamut, and it appears the Twelve were able to contain the Primal - though Bahamut breaks loose. Angered, the Primal attacks Louisoix and his shields falter. Miir'a finds himself, and others, engulfed within a bright light from Louisoix's broken staff. Louisoix's final act was to save those with the Echo - and Miir'a disappears just as soon as Louisoix is killed by Bahamut's Mega Flare.
He has no idea where he is.
The seventh Umbral Era
[in progress]
Miscellaneous
- ● Archmage. Miir'a's IC job is Summoner, and as result XIV's SMN storyline is part of his history. However, he is rarely seen with an egi summoned. He only calls them when threatened, and the egi used indicates his mental state at summoning -- given the fact empathy is involved in the summoning process. As an archmage, Miir'a also has more than adequate conjury and thaumaturgy skill, though in the interest of balance is not a black or a white mage. Furthermore, his focus on aether manipulation means he truly blows at anything considered disciple of war.
- ● Mir is the son of a Thavnairian matriarch, and as a result has a unique (In Eorzea, anyway) mother’s name, but hates bringing up the point. He’ll actively lie about it to non-keepers of the moon, and even more so avoids talking about it to keepers, whom all find the name strange.
- ● Petrified of Eorzean keepers of the moon. Avoids whenever possible. Attempts to avoid even when impossible.
- ● Adores spriggans.
