History

"After all, if something is not done soon, none of us are going to make it out of this alive." ---Lily Dawnsworn, first and last journal entry in the Old Book, abandoned in the Corvus Cinis HQ prior to the Calamity.

Before The Calamity

~

"We are but simple folk, some of us farmers, some of us smiths, some of us husbands, some of us wives. Some of us have children, some of us have none but ourselves. Yet there is something that unites us all. We are all from Ala Mhigo, and we have all made a solemn vow to fight the Garlean Empire until we have regained control of the home that was torn from our grasp...the home we lost fifteen summers gone." ---Thoughts Of An Ala Mhigan.

~

When the great tragedy that befell Ala Mhigo occurred at the hands of Garlemald, Lily was but a little girl, born into the nobility, and from an early age it was intended for her to take up the sword, to serve the people and in turn earning their respect as it was the duty. Ripped from her homeland and her parents, the fates of which she has never been able to ascertain, Lily had taken a nomadic life, migrating from settlement to settlement, until the journey finally brought her to Eorzea. There, Lily would mature, content to ignore and be ignored, as she aspired to be a champion for the people, in the hopes one day she would return to her homeland and drive the Garleans out.

Of course even the best laid plans often go awry; before her dream could be realized, she had to sharpen her combat skills, acquire funding, and social standing. This would lead her to the city of Ul'Dah, where she would begin these trials of body and spirit. There she would meet Dyne Evans, who would show her how to get around, the common places of interest, and companies of employment. Through Dyne, Lily eventually found Corvus Cinis, and though it was slow at first, she came to find a family within their organization, the likes of which she had not felt for many years.

It need not be said that Lily had grown close to Dyne, though the happiness that followed would not last, as he would meet his death, triggering a series of events to find his killer. Even so, Lily found trusting to others completely to be difficult, yet it did not hinder her day-to-day duties in Corvus Cinis. And that is how it would be, until the sorrow became memory, and she found comfort in her friends and "family" once more. Lily has been diligently performing the tasks assigned to her by Corvus Cinis, between journeys of training and self-awareness, ever since, right until the day of the Calamity.

Post Calamity

---

After years of working in solitude, Lily had returned to Ul'Dah, working closely with some individuals she had met during her personal mission against Garlemald. Imagine her surprise when out of the blue, the linkpearl she possessed from Corvus Cinis began to brim with life, as voices were heard on the other end. As a direct result of this, Lily was able to meet with Alothia and some of her companions, setting in motion plans to resurrect Corvus Cinis. Coincidentally, Lily had finally taken writing a journal seriously.

In the short time after that reunion both Lily and Alothia exchanged stories and experiences, each recounting the two-sided tale of what happened after Dalamud came crashing down upon Eorzea. It was here she would learn of Paradyme, the beginning of the investigation into Rhu'to Brom, and her reunion with Fearless.

Relationships

• Zenge Eien: A member of Corvus Cinis. It was Zenge that personally recruited Lily, after her informal introduction to the group as a whole, and he shares some of the beliefs and convictions she has. She has not seen him for many years now. Zenge is one of the three people within the company that knows of Lily's true heritage.

• Fearless Wynn: One of the many Roegadyn employed within Corvus Cinis. Fearless left for home during the long break for Heavensturn and returned to the company shortly after. When time allowed, Lily and Fearless spent time together, even formed a close relationship after events concerning Dyne Evans subsided. It is uncertain what Lily truly feels for him, and the time apart may have put a wedge between them, but she still trusts him implicitly. Wynn is one of the three people that knows of Lily's true heritage.

• Alothia Starkwood: Company head of Corvus Cinis. Lily has the utmost respect for Alothia, knowing the trials one must go through to maintain an organization, even to lead people. Alothia is one of the few people Lily can have a conversation with and not feel awkward around. Unofficially, Lily is usually the one who will keep Alothia from letting her emotions get the best of her in certain situations that require a clear head, yet careful not to overstep her bounds. Alothia is one of the three people that knows of Lily's true heritage.

• Kassandra Dawn: Secretary for Corvus Cinis. Lily sees Kass as a good friend, someone to confide in when insecurities arise, sometimes while Lily dabbles in metallurgy. The last time she has spoken to Kass was on the eve of her first and only journal entry.

• Burgenheim Rousa: A Roegadyn that defines the "Silent" personality archetype. Burgenheim rarely speaks, but when he does, a fountain of poetry and wisdom forms in its place. The two of them often are considered the level headed members of Corvus Cinis, seeing as how their upbringing and experiences allow them to look at things objectively.

• Paradyme Capellago: A Midlander Hyur like Lily, who apparently is Alothia's newest significant other. Though a touch better than her past relationships, there seems to be a rift forming between Alothia and Paradyme, to which Lily can only watch helplessly. At their last encounter, it seems their engagement is off. Lily could only watch as the two began to drift apart, little by little.

• Vash Ashford: A male Miqo'te that happened upon Corvus Cinis during an encounter with Misaio and Paradyme, one that ended bitterly. After a lengthy discussion, Lily was illuminated to the origins of Vash, and his purpose for coming to Eorzea. His personality and disposition seems like a refreshing change to a more strict regimen that Lily undertakes.

• Penelope Rundall: The most recent recruit of Corvus Cinis. Penelope shows potential, though there is room for improvement. Lily hopes that her time among them will temper her spirit.

• Abaigeal Causland: The bartenderess of Soliloquy. She seems to know Alothia, and from Lily's observations, Abaigeal can certainly multitask. Because her first experience at Soliloquy was memorable for Lily, she has generously donated 3000 Gil in the form of a round of drinks, also intended as a gesture of thanks for being shown the wonderful scenery and of course a bottle of Larkscall Syrah.
