| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">X'shah—in an era where corrupt spiritualists have become a stock character—is a towering anomaly on the Dune Specter ecclesiastical landscape. Cut from a similar cloth as her high priestess mother, even if the weave is drastically different, she has assumed her predecessor's role among her people as Living Flame, She Who Speaks With Fire, witch, shaman, priestess, soothsayer, alchemist, midwife, mender, and breaker.<br><br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Those of her tribe-branch that have ridden into battle at her side describe her as anyone would a fellow warrior—that to see her in battle is like witnessing an avatar of wrath born. A notion strangely contrary to the tenents of mercy that her goddess espouses. <br><br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Whether they detest or love her and her methods, many of her own people seek to brook favor with her. Like the witch-woman many murmur her to be, she aids those who seek her—for a debt paid in service to Azeyma and the spirits, of course—even as they deride her once safely out of earshot. For her part, X'shah has surpassed her forebearer and plumbed the vastness of revelation with unmatched expertise among the rabble of her clan. This has allowed her to successfully parlay her scores of extensive mystical abilities into a web of favors owed by many.<br><br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The unsettling truth of the matter is that X'shah would gladly conceal herself away from her kin and their constant badgering. She lacks patience to deal with curiosity-seekers who lack commitment and only wishes the blessing of solitude with which to while away her remaining suns. <br><br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Yet they have riotously selected her to lead as chief. She who refuses decorous distance. She who scorns extensive ceremony and homage to anyone but Azeyma Herself. She who is only satisfied when she believes she has obtained more than they mean to give.<br><br>

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | This miqo'te thrives on one talent at the fore of all else—the ability to convince those who interact with her that they understand a great deal about her—while never revealing her true motives. This aspect of her personality has proven a double-edged sword: earning her the intrigue and ire of those she encounters and interacts with.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Words chosen with great deliberation and a guarded demeanor cannot hide all, however. With a mere brush of her presence it is easy to perceive her as a tightly-wound coil unwilling to part with trust, riddled with double-standards and opposing personality traits that actively work against her and her goals.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | She is a meddler, yet solitary. Insecure, yet imperious. Naïve, yet bright. A veritable dynamo of youth without the wisdom to channel her energies into productivity.<br>

| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">X'shah has the wild look of a predator who chases its prey for sport rather than the meat. Like the tombs of the sands of which she occupies—X'shah was once brilliantly bedazzling—now she exists outwardly as a specter of her former self due to the ravages of trials and tribulations of being alone in the dunes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | | |
| − | Her height and the cast of her physical structure is unimposing; X'shah being pear-shaped with excessively broad hips and massively thick thighs. Where she was once a toned huntress before her tenure as priestess, the sweet meats of the city has significantly rounded her figure out.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Her windswept burgundy hair is coarse and massaged with a healthy sheen of oil. Both ears are blotched black, a tuft of ruff peaking each. Her skin is pockmarked from claw and fang of predators she has opposed for territory or dominance. Teeth-marks honeycomb her ears, one left completely ragged. Her stubby tail is bumped and crooked, even if bristling with shiny healthy hair. Most of her teeth have been knocked out in battle or skirmishes for territorial dominance. Each gap replaced with a golden replication or the fang of a beast slain in her former life as a huntress soldered into her jaw. These replacements are traditional among her sept-folk and make for a terrifying grin, indeed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Swathes of scarification and semi-permanent henna score her flesh: honoring her role as Speaker of Azeyma, daughter, grand-daughter, and desert Lynx. Not even her face has remained unscathed from ritual scribe: two gouges were cut and healed over long ago into her cheeks; three lines of bumps dot her chin; her forehead sports a design of raised welts masterfully branded at an early age to signify sept devotion.

| − | • '''Roughly 23-24 years ago:''' X'vienne enters labor after an unremarkable pregnancy. X'shah is born during a total solar eclipse with bright white eyes, igniting the superstitious scorn of many in her sept, especially against her mother.
| |
| − | | |
| − | • '''The Purge:''' Roughly 12-14 years ago, X'rhenzek Tia, fueled by rage, jealousy, and the backing of a great number of huntresses skeptical of X'vienne mothering more children after the ill omen of X'shah's birth, slaughters X'zinbhe Nunh and X'vienne in their bed together. He makes a claim that he caught the woman in the midst of hexing the sept and murders their entire combined bloodline, even the kit in her belly, save two children: X'kriss who shares his blood—and X'shah—who was sent off by her mother the previous day sensing trouble afoot.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the years after the event most justified it and still do to this sun stating that if X'zinbhe was not weak he would have survived and fought off their attacker. Most opt cowardice instead, choosing not to acknowledge it happened at all and speak of the event in hushed tones, naming the wretched event "the purge." X'rhenzek has proven himself an effective protector and his tyrannical, tight leadership kept the sept mostly intact during the events of 1572.
| |
| − | | |
| − | • '''1572:''' Dalamud bloats within the sky and begins to burn bright red, sparking panic sept-wide. A playmate's of Shah's entire family joins countless across Eorzea in forming a doomsday cult. The entire family sacrifices itself to spare the sept the wrath of the gods; there is only one survivor: X'khalara.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Calamity plunges the entire sept into violent chaos and long-bubbling tensions boil over. Many proud warriors die. X'rhenzek pulls the sept up by its bootstraps and holds it together.
| |
| − | | |
| − | X'shah returns to her people in the throes of the catastrophe. In general, viewpoints of the elders are split: some see the presence of the clearly mad woman traveling in from the dunes as yet another ill omen while others see much of X'vienne in her and do not wish to anger the dead, believing perhaps the events of the Calamity are visited upon them by the spirit of X'shah's witch-mother. The elder council acknowledges her and X'rhenzek spares her life as a gesture of good will. X'shah retreats back into the dunes.

| − | ::'''■''' X'shah was born among a group of families — a sept of Lynx — physically separated from her home tribe. These bright-eyed miqo'te wander the massive expanse of the southern Sagolii as a nomadic group that has pledged to thrive under the harshest of Azeyma's conditions. Little is known of what they have or hope to accomplish. What is known that they lead plain lives with little wealth, instead choosing to focus on their honing their as hunters and warriors. Territorial disputes with this sept is generally dreaded and seen as a small nuisance, considering the savagery displayed the painted warriors of the close-knit sept bordering on zealotry. Neighboring Sagolii tribes darkly whisper of their own hunters encountering her sept's women engaged in dark rituals and strange magic. Some of the blackest tales spread by the enemies of her sept swear that several of their own have wandered into the dunes at night bewitched by a member of her sept, lured by a strange hex or song, never to be seen again.
