In 1363, Ascians discover the abandoned ritual rite the voidsent left behind and piece together what it would have been used for:

The ritual is a grand summoning: if enough power was put into it, it would pull a reflection out of space and bring it to share a position with the Source. 21/?

1359 - The voidsent resumes wandering the lands but instead of decimating villages she begins seeking out powerful adventurers to make contracts with exchanging favors for access to their bloodlines.

A young Garlean noble makes one such deal in exchange for a political rival being eliminated. 18/?

By 1358, her firstborn nears their first ten years, is already the size of an adult, and has the strength of several. Their devotion makes them an optimal servant and she sends them to assist her in seeking out potential candidates for her to drain their aether. 17/?

On the physiology of the voidsent's offspring:

(Project named "Morph" for their likening to the Morphs in Fire Emblem and I never decided on a proper name.)

They are mortal for the most part, however certain rituals are cast upon them in utero that have a multitude of results. 1/?

By 1315, no one had managed to kill this thing however just as the violence escalated and a city state itself was swallowed in magical destruction, the violence stopped. It vanished without a trace leaving the Garleans confused and terrified. Eventually, they believed that they stopped it. 8/?

"he unwittingly delivered them into the hands of a Garlean supremacy cult seeking to iron out the flaws in their race by dabbling in the occult."

I'm actually really proud of my ancient Garlean costuming. 💕

"The voidsent quickly assumed control of the body and consumed Aurelia."

In a last gamble, they consulted with a Reaper faction and devised a ritual that substituted a mortal for a bonding crystal.

They summoned a voidsent into Aurelia as a test to try and imbue magic into themselves. The process was technically a success in regards to the body being able to cast 5/?

This is Aurelia, born in 1285 during the Garlean warlord period. (If you are familiar with the limited run of The Ahriman's Tale, then you have seen her. If not:) orphaned at a young age, she was stuck doing whatever she could to support herself and her brother Marcellus. 1/?

I did not forget this was here but I have been accumulating things, I think we have enough to get started.

You're welcome to stay for the lore so long as you don't metagame it!

You risk spoiling yourself here:

While things technically begin in 1385, the story doesn't really pick up until 1302. So let's set the scene: pre unified Garlemald. Icy and inhospitable as always, but in this age the land is broken up into numerous city-states. It is here that things begin.

I think that with the lack of votes, I get to choose!

So prepare yourselves for the worst that can be~

So where should we begin? The very beginning? Or perhaps somewhere else?

I suppose I could take questions first too! Just let me know in the comments below!
