Originally raised to be an Astrolger, the woman desired a more active role on the battlefield and thus turned to Thaumaturgy in her spare time. However as the time passed, Virella found herself in a position she'd never imagine to have; leading the mercenary company former belonging to her supposed dead lover, while taking care of their son. </div></div>

| |
| − | ::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#585350;">Being shut away in the Observatorium towers, and her studies often lasting from the early evening till the early morning, it is safe so say Virella doesn't have much in the way of a tan, being as pale like many native Ishgardian elezen. The most colourful features upon her face are her freckles, two bright green eyes and some usage of make-up; this all being framed by long thin hair, usually braided at the back. She stands at an average height for one of her kind, a physique fitting for a more scholarly type - she has little in the way of muscle. If anyone were to see her without clothes, she has a noticeable scar on her stomach, and one on her right upper leg.<br><br>As any loyal Ishgardian woman would, she heeds to the saying 'pure as peridot' and dutifully wears a peridot ring on her right hand. Next to this she wears a mythril ring to express her unity with her people's everlasting crusade against the Dravanian Horde. Even if her hairdo often does not allow it to be seen, she seem to be fond of wearing a pair of simple golden earrings. In truely mad Ishgardian fashion, she has the three spears of Halone carved within her right wrist. <br><br>When found within the Ishgard reaches, she dresses according to her job as an astrologian. Despite not being overly keen on her large pointy hat her fellow astrologians tend to wear, she only equips it within the cold reaches of Coerthas. Fingerless gloves is another thing she only seems to wear when the cold gets to her. But if one may find her outside her job's attire, she could easily pass for your typical tavern wench. A simply dress, leather corset and a smile to go with it all, she blends in as easily between a crowd of elezen commoners. </div>

| |
| − | ::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#585350;">A far cry from a quiet wallflower, Virella seems to boast with self confidence. From the often spotted cheeky smile upon her lips, to the ways she walks, she almost seems to dare people to take an issue with her outgoing personality, especially within the reaches of Ishgard. Being far from shy around the other sex, Virella seems to revel in the attention of elezen men, and rumour has it her behaviour around them often ends up in what is borderline acceptable within Ishgardian society; and even worse when to be found outside Coerthas or Ishgard.<br><br>But this all is of course when one were to meet her in a situation it would allow her to behave as such. When she is on duty, whether it is star gazing, making calculation or doing anything else what requires her attention as an astrologian, she's drop dead serious, and far from easily swayed from the tasks bestowed upon her.<br><br>Despite not being overly keen on other races and nations as a whole, she tries to judge people onto an individual base. Her curious nature often gets the best of her in any case, and in the end race, nation and gender seems to matter little to her while she tries to pry as many things from people's lips. Although while being somewhat laid back, especially so for one with Ishgardian roots, insults directed to the Church, Archbishop or Halone are met with everything but kindness. She has the tendency to be overly zealous, like many other from her city-state, and would defend her people's ways with her dying breath. Non-Ishgardians tend to be insulted in one way or the other if Virella does see the chance for it, seeming to be taking a large amount of pleasure out of insulting Ala Mhigans especially.<br><br>Mostly of the time pleasant elezen to be around, eager to strike up a conversation, whether it to be a serious one, or just mindless chatter. Politics, however, are best left out. </div>

| − | : ● '''Astrology:''' Having been taught from a young age how to read the stars in favour for Ishgard's war with the Dravanians, Virella can predict easily where attacks of the dragons will be next, if given time to study the stars of course.
| |
| − | : ● '''Maths:''' Tying in with her former job as an Astrologer, Virella has a knack for maths. Puzzles, formulas and the like including numbers are something Virella doesn't shy away from.

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | : ● '''Thaumaturgy:''' Her first and last love, Virella loves Thaumaturgy in whatever way she can grasp onto it. Whether used defensively or offensively, it is her first and foremost school Virella falls back to when forced into combat. Whereas she isn't capable of casting anything Black Mage related, she does not have qualms with such individuals. Whereas she mostly has been taught in Ishgard how to wield this particular type of magic, she has been spotted around the Guild in Ul'dah as well.
| |
| − | : ● '''Arcanum:''' Due to being an Astrologer, it was an easy task for Virella to pick this skill up. Boredom during the pregnancy of her son, and the Arcanist Guild being a skip away from the house in Limsa she was staying at, Virella frequented the Guild in question as often as her feet would allow her to walk.
| |
| − | : ● '''Conjury:''' A very minor skill for Virella. At the very best she can pull off a basic healing spell.
| |
| − | : ● '''Astromany:''' As Ishgard forbade the Sharlayan way of magic, it did not stop Virella from getting her hands onto books on the subject in secret. However she knew better but the openly flaunt her skill. Not that is as much as a skill as it is mere knowledge, as the magic in particular is not something she actively uses.
| |
| − | : ● '''Archery:''' Yet another 'skill' she picked up during her pregnancy, when people claimed casting any sort of magic was an unwise thing to do. Whereas her books pleased her greatly, there was still a want to do something. Picking up an old bow, Virella taught herself archery to a degree. Not that she is any good at it, given she needs a still standing target and amply time to fire her arrow. However having the sight and hearing Wildwood Elezen possess, she has a slight racial advantage at best one similar trained archers of other races. More a hobby than anything else.</div></div>

| |
| − | : <div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Due to Virella's stance and attitude in life it is perfectly acceptable to hit her, magically or by other means, for her comments if you feel that is the suitable for your characters. Do keep in mind though, I do take in account the guards are a real thing in cities and the like, so Virella will mostly, if not only provoke others when she has the law behind her.

| |
| − | | |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Glioca Sargonnai was born Meallaire Sarrasin, to Selaine Friont and Jeulerand Sarrasin, a Wildwood couple that made their home in the Black Shroud. She led what some would call an average childhood for the first few years, learning and studying under the tutelage of her parents and family. She spent time conversing with the Elementals and wildlife, and growing as most children do: quickly. When she was barely half a decade old, she lost her mother, Selaine, to a wasting sickness whose origin is still unknown. After the loss of her mother, Meallaire began focusing herself into Conjury, with the intention of making sure that should sickness ever to threaten to take her father from her, she would be able to heal him.<br><br> What should have been study to better herself and aid others instead became a form of obsession in the young woman, devoting all of herself to the study of conjury, how it affected the body, and more importantly, to the body itself, and how it could be advanced and manipulated with the healing magic. Despite her single-minded obsession with conjury as a way to save a life, she did learn how to heal not only the body, but the mind, and the world around her; her magic a way to support the growth of plants, rather than just people. While her studies never led her to find a way to cure the disease that afflicted her mother, it led her down other paths. She turned her focus of studies toward alchemy and arcanima, intending to blend the two magics, if at all possible, with the natural and unnatural components of alchemy, into a method to cure any disease. <br><br> Unfortunately, much as often happens when someone tries to blend two magics, she created a volatile reaction that left her with an overabundance of aether, turning her body into a conduit without a way to slow down the amount of aether that she generates and draws in, or to moderate the amount of aether she expelled when she used any kind of force. The result was a monstrous strength that was dangerous, both to her and to those around her. Her father, desperate to pull her mind from her quest into magic, and to find a way to help his daughter control her new-found strength, traveled from Gridania to Ul’dah, to seek assistance from the smiths and magi of the city, hoping that they might fashion an item to control the aether generated by her, and purpose it in a way that it would no longer make her own body beyond her control. <br><br> Though the journey took him at least a moon, her father returned with an armlet with a glowing symbol on the side, and a warning: that artifact was designed with great care, and should it ever be lost, a second would be impossible to create. The secrets lost with the fall of Sil'dih in their war with Ul'dah. For a brief time, she secluded herself away from all but her father and aunt, as she struggled to get her strength under control, her body slowly adjusting, and the very young woman herself adjusting to the changes necessary to reign herself in. Though she did eventually manage to get herself under control, she found that her strength was often overwhelming. Rather than others, however, she most often injured herself. And so began her delving into Conjury and earliest Arcanima to reinforce her physical form to handle the aetherical abundance that most often caused her injury as her body struggled to keep up with the power she bore. <br><br> While her tale should have grown happier at this point, getting herself under control and things going well, instead, her father was lost to a skirmish with forces unknown in the Twelveswood. Meallaire, not yet an adult, was assigned to her aunt Cirenelle as her charge. She fell into a deep depression that lasted until her nineteenth summer. No sooner had her nameday passed, before she packed up her meager belongings and what small fortune she and her father had amassed from the alchemical potions she had sold, and she departed Gridania, headed for Limsa Lominsa. She chose the first boat for parts unknown, and ended up across the sea, in Othard.</font></div><br>

| − | | |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Meallaire's arrival in Othard was fairly uneventful. The woman traded and bartered her services as an alchemist for a place to stay in a small village, eventually ending up using her strength to help provide for the village by tending to heavy work, her life of conjury and magic traded for the rough working of the land. As she had with conjury, she ended up devoting herself to the study of the local culture. Within a few short years, she’d grown fluent with the language and as familiar with the culture as if she’d been born to it. Her acceptance within the village was a turning point in her life, allowing her to put the pain of the loss of her parents behind her. <br><br> During this time, she met Cai Wararm, a Highlander with a zest for life that she enjoyed. He would become her first lover, her first love, and eventually, the father of her first child. Cai encouraged her to learn to fight during their time together, but she resisted, having had taken a vow to be a pacifist, swearing that she would never raise her hands in anger or combat due to her raw strength. She would later come to regret that vow. But the happiness she had found with Cai wasn't meant to last, and after barely two years with him, he was lost in a series of raids on the villages by a group of bandits. Less than three days after Cai's death, the child that would have been their son was stillborn. She named him Cailean, and buried the both of them, burning her home down as she left. For the second time in her life, started moving again, running to escape her past. <br><br> She traveled up and down the coast of Othard, eventually settling into a larger city, and this time, without any desire to really motivate her, she took up training as a courtesan. First working as a healer, curing sickness that might crop up in the girls, and then as a proper courtesan herself, training in everything from formal ceremony to physical companionship, music, art, culture, and everything in-between. She was taken in by an older woman by the name of Chiyo. Chiyo would become her sponsor and mentor, teaching her everything from the culture she desperately needed to know to survive, to martial arts best suited to take advantage of her monstrous strength. When the Hyurian woman passed away two years later, Meallaire was pained by her loss, but instead of running, as she had always done before, she remained, working her way through the 'ranks', as it were, until she was one of the highest paid courtesan in the Jade Lotus, the teahouse that had become her home. <br><br> Life is often funny, and it was working as a courtesan that she met one of the only other Elezen males she had seen frequent the house; a Wildwood going by the name of Vandor. She took him on as a client, but after a year of frequenting the Jade Lotus just to take the time to visit with her, she found herself being reluctantly courted by him. After a surprise visit by the man found her literally falling through a roof and onto his head, she decided to take the hint from the Spinner, and accepted his advances. She refused to stop working, however, and the two courted while she continued her occupation. Vandor could of course raise no objections given how they met, instead becoming her paid sponsor, giving her the greater freedom to pick and choose her clientele. This continued on for seven years, with Vandor asking for her hand every year on the same day. Finally, in the seventh year, Meallaire agreed. She finally stepped down from her position in the Lotus, and the two were wed according to Othardian customs. They spent the next thirty-two years moving all around Othard, until Meallaire became pregnant with their first son, Valistaux.</font></div><br>

| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Meallaire and Vandor finally settled down after the birth of their first son, and the two lived in relative harmony with a local village, extending their protection to the village, while Meallaire trained with several locals in martial arts styles, and medicine. It was from them that she learned most of her non-conjury healing from, as well as anatomy, and other practical medicines and much of her alchemy. It was during this time that she began to perfect the alchemical formula that would extend the lifespan of herself, her husband, and her children. <br><br> During this same time she, Vandor, and a veritable cabal of other mages banded together to stop an 'Oni' who was traversing across the local countryside and terrorizing the people. This 'Oni' turned out to be a Voidsent, one that the collective bound. Meallaire was chosen as the individual to bind him to, as she was presently the youngest and longest lived of the group. He was thrust into an Elezen body, and bound there, and given the name Mikaelis. This would become her first servant, and ironically, over the years, one of her most trusted advisors. <br><br> When Valistaux was twelve years of age, Meallaire and Vandor took the boy on a trip along the coastline near their home, where they encountered a slaver ship, offloading their cargo. A duskwight girl caught their attention, and while the pair would have liked to have freed everyone on the ship that day, discretion was the better part of valor and they instead purchased the duskwight girl, whose name was Esirelle. The pair adopted the girl, with Valistaux gaining a playmate and a 'sibling', of sorts. She stepped in as Meallaire's assistant for a time, learning alchemy from the woman, and displaying some small measure of control over conjury. <br><br> The four had a fairly happy home life for a number of years, with Meallaire and Vandor selling a variety of services from their home, gathering funds in preparation for the future, and raising their two children. When the pair began to display greater affection for one another, no one was surprised, and when they both reached their twentieth summer, Meallaire and Vandor granted the pair permission to wed. As they weren't blood siblings, there was no taboo broken, and so the pair were wed happily to one another. For the next seventeen years, the four of them worked as a unit, taking care of things around their homeland, and working together to expand their skills and develop their talents. Not long after the thirty-seventh nameday of their son, Meallaire and Vandor decided it was, once again, time to travel. <br><br> From 1470 until 1532, Meallaire and Vandor, with Mikaelis in reluctant tow, traveled all across the world, experiencing new cultures, learning new magic, taking in knowledge, contributing what they could to whatever location they stayed in for any period of time, and generally enjoying their time and life together. Sometime in 1508, Meallaire gave birth to twin sons, Vaelenant and Aeldenoix. But all things must come to an end, and after the pair shared a startling vision of the future, they traversed back across the ocean, ending up in Eorzea, their original home.</font></div><br>

| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">The return home brought with it a kind of bittersweet reunion, with Meallaire showing Vandor the graves of her parents, her childhood home, and the two seeking some resolve for the visions they had begun receiving. Taking back up the paths of conjury and alchemy, she began experimenting and working with manipulating the body, supplementing her work with arcanima. The pair settled into a steady life in Gridania, each of them offering their respective services to the City. Their lives progressed on a steady course until the Garleans began pushing at the boundaries of the Twelveswood. When the Adders put out a call for bodies, they answered the that call.<br><br> At the fields of Carteneau Flats, the Alliance met the Empire head-on, with Meallaire and Vandor on the front lines. When Dalamud fell, and the forces of the respective armies scattered, the duo did very much the same. They quit the field, and rather than returning home to Gridania, they traveled to Ul’dah, to rejoin their sons. They changed their names that day, Meallaire becoming Glioca, and Vandor becoming A’rklonn. They took his family name, of Sargonnai, and worked to make a life in the City-State.<br><br> With a flood of refugees in the wake of the Calamity, Glioca opened a small shop in Ul'dah, offering her services as a conjurer and barber-surgeon for those who had been injured by the disaster. While her services were appreciated by some, they were viewed with suspicion by others. Why would an Elezen conjurer lend her aid to those that the citizens of Ul'dah turned a blind eye to? After her clinic was ransacked by Brass Blades, Glioca was forced to shut her doors, and began traveling further and further from Ul'dah, she and A'rklonn settling in a small shack around the edges where the Twelveswood met Thanalan.<br><br> Not long after this, she took up swordplay with the Gladiator's guild in Ul'dah, utilizing what she'd learned in Othard and with her husband, fighting under the moniker 'The Silver Eclipse'. She often fought while masked, and donated any winnings she received to the refugees outside the gates, providing what food and medicine she could. A particularly nasty match left one man dead however, and Glioca ended up quitting the guild and laying down her arms and armor. <br><br> Following the death in the circle, and with ever-growing unrest in Ul'dah, Glioca, A'rklonn, and their third at the time, opted to move on to Gridania. While there, Glioca briefly sought out what remained of her family, getting back in touch with the last of her kin, their twin boys, now going by the names Vaelen and Aelden finally returning to the fold with a group with them. They also got back in touch with Anthya, who would become one of their adopted daughters. Committed to a course, the group never settled into Gridania proper, instead traveling around in the Twelveswood like nomads, until eventually ending up at the Oak Inn. </font></div><br>

| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">With Ul’dah behind her, Glioca, A’rklonn and their third ended up, along with several other members of their family; Anthya, Siduris, Haelolin, Feallan, Alupia, and others, at the Oak Inn just outside Gridania. Glioca took great pains during this time to avoid her family home, though it would have simplified much for the lot of them. The group spent a little more than two months at the inn, before moving on, forming the Rising Phoenix Free Company, under the banner of the Malestrom. The group served as mercenaries for hire for whatever company so sought their services, but most importantly, this allowed Glioca and A’rklonn to establish the Phoenix Estate within Ul’dahn territory. <br><br> Not long after the founding of this home, the third individual in their relationship opted to split from them. The last time Glioca spoke to the woman was on the beaches in the Mists outside Limsa Lominsa. Long talks with her adoptive daughter Anthya more than a moon later and she learned that the miqo’te woman they had been so close to had been unfaithful. While this wasn’t surprising, it still stung, especially considering the lengths the woman would have had to go to in order to be ‘unfaithful’ in an open relationship. <br><br> The loss of the third in their relationship troubled Glioca deeply, and anger sent her right back into the life of a fighter, with the woman taking up a blade and going north, into Coerthas, on a job that should have been given to one of the other mercenaries in their company. What she got for her troubles was a lasting scar over her left eye, her anger making her careless enough to not dodge a swipe quite in time to spare herself any harm. Bleeding down her face and missing her glasses, Glioca engaged the Aevis until the fighting was interrupted by a young dragoon. With the creature slain and her face bleeding, Glioca thanked the Ishgardian, and made her way back to the edges of the Twelveswood, a new scar gained for her troubles.</font></div>

Days consisted of long hours baking or working on some unique alchemical concoction, and nights consisted of time spent with A’rklonn, talking to him about his research. When they announced that the doors were opening on the Manderville Gold Saucer, Glioca and A’rklonn took the opportunity to spend some time away from home, and step back out into the world amid people. A’rklonn had gone on ahead, with Glioca arriving sometime after, finding her husband in conversation with a young miqo’te by the name of Nai Ruahki, who’d been staring at the man’s back. <br><br> She joined her husband and the miqo’te at a table, until the woman’s partner joined them, a tall Duskwight by the name of Desant. Conversation lasted a bit of time longer, with the group talking of barber-surgeons and skills that should be cultivated in the world. The two departed, but not before Glioca had shared some of the unique candies she made at the store. The woman’s sweet tooth would turn her into a customer at their shop in the Goblet. With her, during her next visit, she brought a tall, dark haired elezen man with her, by the name of Erimmont Chevalier. <br><br> The trio talked of philosophy and arcanima, of magic and things intellectual while wrapping a finished tray of candies. The elezen male promised to return another day and not long after, the pair departed the shop. More hungry than she realized for another eloquent conversationalist, Glioca found she was eager to once again have his company. The two became friends, with the male lingering fairly often around the shop.</font></div>

| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Things at home had become a bit awkward and unusual, what with the constant stream of traffic in and around the shop, combined with the usual array of characters who had somehow become part of their family. Though some of their children had gone, departing the family entirely and for good, others had lingered, foremost among them Siduris, a young man who had been brought into the family by her twin boys. It was he who found the next person who would join their family – a young hyurian woman by the name of Ellemeare with a gift for fire magic, on the run from an overbearing father who was poised to control her for the rest of her life. They offered the girl refuge in their home, first as a guest, and later as family. <br><br> It took some time for Ellemeare to settle into their family, but settle she did, and eventually, as a way to permanently hide the still skittish woman from her father, Glioca and A’rklonn offered something they had only experimented with. Utilizing the Echo to bind a soul to a completely different body created with repurposed and pilfered Allagan technology. It was a type of rebirth, something that didn’t seem possible. But research and notes proved that the soul was more mutable than they had originally expected, and beyond all hope, the experiment was a success, and Ellemeare, now living as an Elezen, join the family in a more formal fashion. <br><br> Not terribly long after this, incidents where Erimmont had been living and working at the Vylbrand Academy led to his departure from them in an official capacity. Offering her home as a place of rest for him while he squared himself away, Glioca and Erimmont grew closer by inches and degrees, an obvious thread of attraction growing between the pair of them. The man continued to live his own life while staying at the Phoenix Estate, and not long after he’d been given a proper guest room, Glioca returned to find blood on the floor, and the man gone after losing control during a hunting trip. They were estranged for many months, and Glioca once again turned inward.</font></div>

Disturbances in Mor Dhona and Coerthas around the same time prompted Glioca and A’rklonn into agreement, and they issued a small company of mercenaries to check into things in Mor Dhona, while Siduris traveled north. Glioca had given him her journal before his departure, and though the parting wasn’t tearful, she bade him be careful. <br><br> Her warnings of caution had been warranted, and skirmishing broke out deeper in Coerthas, with the rise of heretics and a more frantic pace felt in the northern region. When the call went out for defenders at the gates of Ishgard for any sellsword who would take up arms for coin, Glioca and A’rklonn put the shop in the hands of their sons Vaelen and Aelden, and traveled north, with Glioca laying down her healers staff for the first time in years, and taking back up her sword and shield. Though the pair didn’t see Siduris among the fighters, they knew he had to have been in the forward skirmishes as the Dravanian hordes began to wage their war against the Ishgardians. <br><br> She wasn’t wrong however, as barely two weeks later, she received a letter packaged with a journal, and the fragments of Siduris’ broken shield, streaked with blood. The death and loss of him became one more in a long litany of loss for the woman, and she went back to the front with renewed anger at having been robbed of one of her children. </font></div>

Sure enough, Glioca and A’rklonn began regular trips north, for supplies and to make business contacts, both for their Free Company, and for the shop. <br><br> But a night in the seclusion of the shop with her husband, and the lights all dimmed for the storms raging outside, and Glioca ended up pregnant for a fourth time in her life, this time with what she hoped would end up a girl, the first one she’d actually be giving birth to. Not long after her pregnancy began, Erimmont showed back up in her life, right on the heels of A’rklonn taking Ellemeare as one of his lovers. <br><br> Though there was still distance between Glioca and Erimmont brought on by their time apart, the attraction between the two was still prominent and persistent. When A’rklonn gave Erimmont his blessing, they decided to try to forge some kind of path together. The feelings between the two were strong, but that didn’t prove to be enough for either of them, as time, distance, and other problems arose between them. Still, they worked to try and get past them, though it felt like an uphill battle with no happy ending.</font></div>

Her anger began to flare out of her control, and she started lashing out at people around her. In an attempt to give her something to focus on, to give her a means of control, she tried to take up archery lessons. But the increasing lack of control resulted in the one lesson Erimmont gave her ending in tears when she broke his arm accidentally. A little over two weeks later, she went into labor, some two and a half months early. Her hopes for a baby girl were realized in the form of her daughter, Solane, smaller than normal and with silver hair and her father’s pale violet eyes. <br><br> Though Glioca and her husband had thought that the birth of her daughter would end the imbalances in her aether and allow her to get herself back under control, the opposite ended up being true. Glioca finally approached Erimmont with what she had hoped and prayed was wrong. Her aether was starting to eat away at her, too much volume for one body to contain, and she was dying. Though Erimmont tried to find her help, Glioca, confronted with mortality for the first time in her life, panicked and pushed the Elezen man away. In a fit of anger, yelling and screaming, she threw him out of the estate, telling him to run back to the Twelveswood and his other lover, Kiipa. Though their parting had been particularly nasty, Glioca still harbored a very deep love for the man, but feared what her death might do to him, on the heels of so many others. Knowing that he felt she had kept her demise from him, and the details around it secretive, she felt that her path was the correct one, but that didn't stop the pain of his loss from her life.</font></div>

| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Glioca had dabbled before with different technologies and magics, as had A’rklonn, all in the pursuit of trying to find some solution to her problem. Nothing had panned out thus far, until Aedan, after a particularly nasty hunt in Thanalan, came visiting ‘round the shop with a horn off a particularly nasty Voidsent of considerable size. After a discussion over the properties and the type of fight that the beast had put up, A’rklonn and Glioca shared a moment of inspiration. The beast had been a strength type, and as the fight had borne on, it had released more and more of its strength. By utilizing the knowledge of one of A’rk’s sources, he hoped to fashion the horn into thin sleeves which would go along his wife’s spine, proving a physical stopgap for her aether imbalance. <br><br> With little more than a prayer that it might work, and the aid of Glioca’s medical knowledge via one of her re-purposed Allagan nodes, A’rklonn would have to set about affixing the sheaths to her spine, below the skin. The risk was obvious: rejection of the inscribed horn fragments, total paralyzation, or death. Considering, her other options were to do nothing and wait for her aether to eat away at her until she was dead, there wasn’t much of an option for her. Hours later, and A’rklonn closed her up. Beyond all of their hopes, it worked. Glioca could move, though it was shaky. Her limbs responded. Her aether, now trapped behind magical walls, was no longer threatening to consume her. Though the fix was only temporary, they had bought her some amount of time. <br><br> A’rklonn’s studies had brought to his attention other information – about the Fist of Rhalgr, an order who specialized in aether control, flow, and release. Glioca had never picked up the fine skill of absolute aether control, which was part of the reason that her own aether was overwhelming her so fiercely. The bracelet that her father had gifted her had been what controlled her aether currents since her youth. Self-control was never necessary. Now though, it had become absolutely critical. Aedan once again came to the rescue, arranging a meeting between Glioca and the blind woman who would become her teacher, Mistalv Arroway.</font></div>

| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Things went well for a time after finding Mistalv, with Glioca devoting herself to her training, and reconnecting with a woman she’d met through Erimmont, by the name of Syranelle Ironleaf. Unbeknownst to either of them, Glioca and Syranelle had met years and years before, when Syranelle was a girl. Though the two haven’t had much of a chance to speak and interact, Glioca hopes that they can again grow close, though getting to know the grown woman is a far cry different than the little girl she remembers bounding ‘round her mother’s shop. <br><br> The initial meeting with Mistalv finally came around, and Glioca and the woman squared off outside little Ala Mhigo. What Glioca had to say apparently struck the proper chords, because the woman agreed to teach her. Weeks had passed and Glioca had finally gotten free of her cane, back to walking on her own two feet, unaided, and her spine healing well. It looked like everything was falling into place, though she still avoided the topic of Erimmont, she planned to pen him a letter, and while she never expected him to accept her apology, she wanted to explain. She was downstairs in the living room of the estate, book in her lap, pen nearby, preparing to put ink to parchment when Kiipa Nulstat came down the stairs, Erimmont’s glasses in hand. <br><br> He was dead. <br><br> Glioca and Kiipa spent the next day ritually preparing his body, and laid him to rest beneath the Lifemend Stump. Glioca still goes, once per week, to lay flowers on his grave. A single forget-me-not is all she leaves behind, a fonder memory from happier times, rather than the bitterness that they were left with at their last parting. Though he left behind a letter for her, forgiving her, she's never quite forgiven herself, resulting in a threading anger that persists, even so long after his death.</font></div>

| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">After Erimmont's death, Glioca threw herself into the same things she always does to try and get past sorrow. Work, training, flirtation. Distractions all around to get her past whatever great tragedy is lingering on her. And the source of her regret was one such step. A long talk with Aedan Steelweaver after Starlight gave Glioca a different perspective on her life, and she went into a several month isolation, talking to very few besides Mistalv, or her immediate family. <br><br> When she was spotted months later, her hair had grown out, the odd black-white pattern of her hair changed again, her training as a Fist another step closer to being complete, and whatever sorrow she'd been dealing with put well behind her. With the rigors of childbirth and the newborn months of Solane behind her, she'd finally gone back on the mend, as many steps as she could get back to being herself again.<br><br></font></div>

While she does not openly say so frequently, she both envies her husband for some of his life experiences, and admires him for his endurance and persistence despite all the ill that has happened to him during his similarly long life. She could think of no one else she would choose to spend her long life with, and considers him, as she calls him frequently, the other half of her heart and soul.</div>

There is no doubt that Glioca has a more open affection for Vaelen than Aelden, if only because of the time spent together in Vae's youth. The two regularly engage in physical training together, with Glioca passing on some of her sword techniques to Vae, and Vae constantly challenging and pushing her harder as she grows more and more proficient with physical combat with a weapon. With Vaelen comes his wife Arkhiss, a Duskwight woman who Glioca is fond of. The two have a sometimes physical relationship that is a holdover from Vae's youth.</div>

Glioca often sets Aelden to task at magical research and development of his own style of combat.</div>

She's one of the most recent that A'rklonn and Glioca have adopted. She finds the girl to be intelligent and intuitive, if a bit easily embarrassed. The two share a great affection and warmth.

He's a very quiet individual, and also the solicitor employed for legal matters in the Free Company. He tends the day to day bookwork for the shop run out of the front of the Manor, and often helps when the Company gets themselves into a pinch. While the relationship between the two isn't precisely romantic, there is a very passionate love that Glioca feels for him, one that steps outside the realm of lovers and into the realm of a devoted submissive at his Mistress' heels.</div>

Glioca respects Tallera's grasp on magic, and she knows that there's a definite attraction to her on the part of the Hyurian woman, and in the past she was happy to indulge. Her greatest concern with Tallera is usually whether she's eaten whatever day she sees her, and if she's taking proper care of herself. Tallera was A'rklonn's apprentice, and to a small degree, also Glioca's, but time and circumstance seems to have changed that.</div>

When Meallaire departed quite suddenly, called into service for Gridania, the two lost contact, and have only recently reconnected. She knows the woman is likely cautious of her, and she cannot blame her for being rightly guarded. She hopes that they can once again grow close as time passes.</div>

Glioca pledged herself into helping train new Fists, and Mistalv pledged to help teach Glioca their ways and control of her gates. The relationship between the two is mutually beneficial.</div>

She loved him quite deeply, but the relationship was shaky even at the best of times, as the two were rarely able to spend time together. When her own demise seemed just around the corner thanks to her aetherical imbalance, she shoved him away in hopes of turning his love to hate, and sparing him the loss of her. After receiving a letter from Kiipa stating that Erimmont was alive, and not dead, Glioca was consumed with no small amount of anger. Since her initial anger, she's come to grips with the fact that they hurt one another doing what each thought was right. She sent him a missive informing him of the reasoning behind her choices, and wishing him well for the rest of his life, closing the chapter of her history that contained him.</div>

While she's moved past what happened, it still leaves the taste of ashes in her mouth to recall what occurred. She considered the woman an enemy for a short time, but she finds it difficult to muster even that, instead feeling pity for the woman, and whoever has the misfortune to end up her next partner, as she knows the woman's affections are fleeting at best.</div>

It contains a number of different items, including a secondary tied coin purse with three hundred gil meant to serve as emergency coinage for airship fare in the event that she gets stuck in any particular place.
| |
| − | :: ■ <b>Herb Sachet:</b> Mixed Teas - Among these are three blends, wrapped in a sectioned scroll case meant to keep the flavors from mingling. Among them she has a calming tea, an invigorating tea, and a tea meant for an upset stomach.
| |
| − | :: ■ <b>Journal & Ink:</b> A simple journal that contains a number of images of herbs and plants, along with a few pressed samples of different herbs, as well as various sketches of human anatomy and skeletal structures. These sketches have notations in short-hand along the sides and the pages have seen obvious and frequent use. A small black vial rests with the journal, tightly capped, and beside it a crow feather quill.
| |

| |
| − | :: ■ <b>Unassuming Vial:</b> This vial contains a liquid of unknown origin, which Glioca often adds to any drinks she's having in any public locale. It's only purpose is to test a liquid for unsavory additions, and the liquid inside turns black if these concoctions are detected.
| |
| − | :: ■ <b>Tied Satchels:</b> These satchels are coded by color, and Glioca can usually tell which bag is which in a hurry and not by sight if needed, usually by the stitching on the side and the fabric its made from.
| |
| − | ::: ■ <b>Alchemical Remedies:</b> Various alchemical concoctions, mostly in smaller vials meant to supplement Glioca's healing as needed. Among them are smelling salts, an antidote, a hi-potion, a single ether, and a double dose of eye drops.
| |
| − | ::: ■ <b>Medical Kit:</b> This medical kit contains bandages, twine, thread, needles, a small scalpel, numbing salve, a powdered painkiller and an antiseptic and is primarily used for treating small wounds and such on the go.
| |
| − | ::: ■ <b>Wrapped Candies:</b> A small assortment of some of the candies that Glioca makes and sells at her shop, most of these are either flavored or coated in chocolate, and kept cool with an ice crystal stuffed in among them to prevent melting. The flavors she usually carries with her are almond, honey lemon, mint, orange and rolanberry.
