Ferathir "Dawnbreaker" Lauhafiere (Commonly known as Ferathir, Ferathir Dawnbreaker or Dawnbreaker) is a Mid-lander Hyur whom was born in Ishgard. Much remains unknown about his life, possibly due to the fact that he seldom speaks of it. Seeking wealth, fame, power and just a different life all-together, Ferathir left his homeland to pursue becoming a Gladiator in the pits of Ul'dah. However, before arriving to the city, he had a sudden change of heart as he continued to hear about the amazing tales many travelers had about adventurers. Driven by a new cause and goal, Ferathir aimed to become a member of the Adventurer's guild instead of fighting in the pits. But he would not forsake the idea of being a Gladiator, as he already specialized in using a sword and shield as weapons of choice. He would often train with the gladiators of Ul'dah to further his skill. Eventually, upon reaching enough notoriety in the city, he was given the opportunity to become a free Paladin. The power to protect those he cared for and the childhood dream of becoming a knight now close to becoming fulfilled, he gladly accepted. It was not long before he was adorned with the armor of the sultansworn, but with the freedom of an adventurer.
Contents
Character
General
Appearance
Height: 5 fulms, 10 ilms
Weight: 159 ponz
Body Features: Ferathir is larger and taller than the average midlander, perhaps due to being fathered by a Wildwood Elezen. However, he appears to bear mostly the Hyurian traits from his mother. His body is covered in well-toned, healthy muscles. There are no scars of any sort or blemishes anywhere across his body, which in this day and age is incredibly rare. It could be due to the constant protection of the heavy armor he usually wears.
Facial Features: Ferathir has a very soft face with sometimes intense eyebrows. His head is adorned by two jade-green eyes which compliment his hair color very well.
Hair & Style: Ferathir has golden blonde hair which is often fairly unkept. Were it not for his Gallant Coronet he usually dons, it would likely fall over his face and cover his eyes, hindering his sight.
Complexion: Ferathir's complexion is light, despite the fact that he spends a lot of his time adventuring and roaming the land. This may be due to the fact that his body, including his face, is usually covered from head to toe in plated armor.
Attire & Fashion: Ferathir is not known to wear casual clothes very often. But he is rather fond of his adventuring attire that he owns and sometimes wears that instead of the usual heavy armor. Although that is a rare sight, to be sure.

The Oathsworn Vigil
The First Oath
"I swear onto thee my unwavering loyalty, that you might not experience solitude anymore. I swear onto thee my wrath to those who would harm you. I swear onto thee an Oath that transcends all bonds; an eternal Vigil so that none may overtake you. I will be your friend... your brother... your father... your son... your husband. I will be your sword and your shield. Now and always." - Ferathir Dawnbreaker
By reciting the first Oath, Ferathir Dawnbreaker unknowingly began a group that would soon become a free company of sorts. Calling themselves "The Oathsworn Vigil", these sworn brothers and sisters live for one another. Helping each other overcome any hardship any one of them may face. Fame, Glory and Fortune are all well and good... But to the Oathsworn Vigil all of these things mean nothing next to the well being of their sworn brothers and sisters. Swearing an oath to one person (or accepting the oath from one person) means you swear to all current Oathsworn. Ferathir takes the Oath very seriously and will not offer it to just anyone. Reciting the oath is the ultimate form of love, care and respect he can ever show to a person, even if they don't perceive it as such or understand it right away. Taking the oath or reciting the oath and dishonoring it is the greatest insult there is for any who is an Oathsworn.
Current Oathsworn
- Ferathir Dawnbreaker
- Minako Obinata
Former Oathsworn
- V'ieh Vhessi

- Thata'wo Kaatapoh

"I still don't understand her..." - Ferathir
Ferathir met V'ieh during his mindless travels across the Thanalan deserts after losing his first love, Alathariel. He found her, beaten, battered and on the brink of death. Without much cause or reason, he began to tend to her, taking care of her and nursing her back to health. Eventually he learned that the attack she survived was issued by her village's Nuhn, after she bruised his ego in some manner or form. After spending several months together, Ferathir and V'ieh formed a bond like no other, which eventually transitioned into the First Oath. The same Oath that subsequently led to the creation of the Oathsworn Vigil. After the Oath was recited, the two parted ways and did not see each other for many months.
Eventually the two reconnected and continued their Oath to one another. However, they both had changed. Albeit, it could also be attributed to actually not knowing each other at all in the first place. V'ieh continued to expose herself to many dangers time and time again in her quest to find the one responsible for destroying her village. She also had a tendency of putting herself in other, rather tasteless, situations. Ferathir, of course, was never in agreement with her and her actions, as he feared it would compromise her safety. Nevertheless, Ferathir upheld his Oath while slowly becoming less and less patient with his Oathsister. At one point, he confided in her to teach him the ways of ninjutsu. However, after only having questionable methods of training for him-- the alleged "zen" approach, Ferathir became irritated and slowly realize how little interest she actually had in helping him. This eventually led him to become less than kind with her and promptly called her out on her hypocrisy, which naturally did not sit well with her. The two parted ways since then, her ego bruised and his trust broken.
Ferathir harbored a lot of negative feelings towards V'ieh, but that quickly changed when she confessed her intent; to remove herself, believing to be poison, from Ferathir's life. Since then, Ferathir had done a lot of self reflecting and has ceased to address V'ieh as "Oathbreaker" and instead by her chosen name. The two have begun to mend their friendship and in a gesture of trust Ferathir re-introduced himself to her, revealing his real name in the process. Something no one else at the time knows.
Standing: ● Good Standing
"That woman really lives up to her name..." - Ferathir
An awkward meeting that soon blossomed into a solid friendship, and perhaps even a bit of a romantic interest. This character is such a polar opposite of Ferathir, that often times Ferathir secretly finds himself a bit upset or annoyed with Fleeting Dawn (although he will always deny it.) Nevertheless, he has grown to care for her very much in their short friendship and is ever so concerned with her well-being. While he doesn't know much about her past personally, he is keen enough to perceive that there is much more than meets the eye to this Roegadyn who would laugh away at life's hardships.
Ferathir has not seen nor heard much from Fleeting Dawn lately. But he knows that, somewhere in Eorzea, that Roegady is out there starting trouble and laughing her life away.
Standing: ♥ Romantic Interest, ♥ Sexual Desire, ● Good Standing
"All that remains... and all that I need." - Ferathir
Ferathir's first encounter with Minako was a comical one. He encountered her while running an errand at the Bonfire in Thanalan. She thought him to be royalty, and it took everything for him to explain to her that he was nothing more than an adventurer. She was working (and possibly struggling) with her leatherworking craft. Looking to mutually benefit from the situation, Ferathir offered Minako work; to craft basic seat cushions which would be used for furnishing his Free Company's future home. However, after speaking briefly, he could tell that there was more to this Auri than meets the eye. He could also tell she was all alone... and he knew well enough the pains of solitude. Because of that Ferathir introduced her to a basic Oath and brought her into the Vigil. Since her pledge, Ferathir and Minako have grown considerably closer as they have slowly gotten to know each other over time. Their dynamic is quite good and Ferathir finds himself enjoying her company quite often...
Minako and Ferathir continue to serve their Oaths to one another to this day, both as lovers and as Oathsworn.

"Sigh... Gods damn it, Thata'wo..." - Ferathir
Ferathir met Thata'wo during one of his visits to the Gold Saucer, while accompanied by V'ieh and Minako. Originally mistaken as the one responsible for burning V'ieh's village to the ground, Thata'wo faced certain death had it not been for Ferathir's interference in an altercation that took place between him and V'ieh. However, despite saving his life, Ferathir wasn't exactly fond of Thata'wo at first. Often times, Ferathir considered him an annoyance, and rightfully so. It is unknown what Thata'wo was doing during the time the Oathsworn dispersed for several months, however, he was there when Ferathir was introducing Minako to the new house they had acquired. By this time, after realizing that even Oathsworn could be the reason for great grief and disappointment, Ferathir was a lot more lenient with Thata'wo and even offered him housing after it became obvious Thata'wo had nowhere to go.
Thata'wo is the second Nonsworn Ferathir has begun to confide in, slowly.
