Uh...Lewin may have gotten carried away with the fishing. 🤣 Morroyo's wiping a proud tear from his eye. 🐟

"You know, I already HAD this outfit...I had no idea I could use it for FISHING." Though he's due for a gear upgrade really soon.

His botanist and miner are close to 50.

#FFXIV #hyur
Lewin's already gotten up to level 68 Fisher...though if he'd known the Anemos set doubled as fishing gear, he would've been all set. Both his Miner and Botanist are close to level 50.

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

HEAVENSWARD COMPLETE!

What an amazing expansion. It's wreaked havoc with my emotions and given me major trust issues, and I've loved every minute. Thank you to everyone who has joined me, whether in raids and dungeons, or in chat. And a massive thank you to my brilliants mods.🙏

I'd say those stats for Seekers mostly fit Morroyo (he was initially trained as a warrior), but his mind and intelligence stats would be higher.

Lewin (MIdlander) would need high strength, dexterity and vitality to be an archer or melee combatant.

Kezz's vitalty and dexterity would be higher.

In case you're like me and completely forgot about it, xiv races have their own starting attributes (that completely don't matter).

Does your WoL/OC fit to their assigned stats with their personality/main Job choice? Or did they end up completely different from this imposed stereotype?

Sort of, mostly. 😆 In Morroyo's case, he's an older WoL. He's 41 during the Calamity, 46 at the 'start' of ARR, and 51 at the start of DT, so there's a decade between Carteneau and DT.

For Morroyo's pre-ARR adventures, I use the timeline in Encyclopedia Eorzea V1.

Each expansion is about a year...

Morroyo wants to leave a legacy of learning, of wanting to explore the unknown and make the world better for future generations. It's a very Azem-like thing to do.
Morroyo sits in Hawkers Alley in Limsa, in his trademark red suit jacket (with silver trim) and red shoes, a black shirt (with grey tie), pants and gloves.

Technically, Morroyo would have the qualifications for an Archon title in aetherology and healing if he really wanted. He even did a stint as an instructor at the Studium and was offered a position on the Forum, though not being from Sharlayan. He gracefully turned it down for a number of reasons.
What if Morroyo had actually accepted that offer to be a full-time instructor in Sharlayan?

After today's picnic... [1/3] 🪻

#ffxivbridgerton ⟡ #bridgertonau ⟡ #nyaha ⟡ #wolgraha
N'yahdia approaches her father, who is sitting with Lord Vauthry in Eulmore. "You wished to speak with me, father?" Her father smirks cruelly at her, Vauthry watching her like a hawk in the seat beside him "Ah! There you are, my little songbird. I have terrific news. Lord Vauthry has officially come to ask for your hand in marriage." As N'ya's father continues to speak, Vauthry's smirk grows. "-and offered an incredible sum of gil to aid Amh Arang's growing military! Through your marriage, our states will finally be able to work side by side. It is the highest honor I could wish for my daughter." N'ya looks at Vauthry in abject horror and fear "You are to be wed by the end of the month."

Day 6: Scandal ✍️

What a night, dear reader! What a night...

#ffxivbridgerton ⟡ #bridgertonau ⟡ #nyaha ⟡ #wolgraha
Text reads: A MARRIAGE MOST SCANDALOUS As we all know, Lord Vauthry shockingly announced to members of the ton that he was to wed Mistress N’yahdia Lhese at the end of this month. In honor of this revelation, he hosted one final ball before the season let out in honor of their engagement. One would not have expected the Exarch, Lord Vauthry’s rival for the season, to attend, but attend he did. He quite shocked members of the ton with how unbothered he seemed by the whole situation. He was seen making jokes and waltzing with other eligible women as though he hadn’t a care in the world—a truly amazing act that had us all fooled—this author included. As it turns out, the Exarch’s casual demeanor resulted from having already won the race. In another shocking turn of events, Lord Vauthry found his supposed bride-to-be in the arms of the Exarch after the pair sneaked off from the party. After a loud screaming match that could be heard across Norvrandt, the Exarch revealed that Lord Vauthry had walked in on him and his wife! Yes, dear reader, you are reading that correctly. The Exarch and Mistress Lhese eloped to escape her marriage to Lord Vauthry. In a ceremony conducted by King Feo Ul and her envoy, Ser Urianger Augurelt, the pair were secretly wed not long after Lord Vauthry boasted of his engagement to Mistress Lhese. As the King of the Pixies blessed their marriage, there is no way to break their eternal bond without grave repercussions. Lord Vauthry attempted to challenge the Exarch to a duel, but with a swift call to the King of Il Mheg themselves, he ran with his tail tucked between his legs. It was indeed our most scandalous evening of the season yet, would you agree, dear reader? The Exarch and his wife, N'yahdia, caught in a compromising position; she is sitting on his lap and gasping at being caught, while he is smirking at the intruder Lord Vauthry (bunauthry) is yelling at the Exarch, pointing a gloved finer at him in anger

Day 7: Countryside ✍️

Dearest gentle reader, it is time to say farewell... for now!

#ffxivbridgerton ⟡ #bridgertonau ⟡ #nyaha ⟡ #wolgraha
Text reads: AN EARNED COUNTRY RESPITE Ah, the peace of the countryside. Most members of the ton have retreated to their cozier abodes amid Norvrandt after a scandalous end to the season. Lord Vauthry appears to have disappeared from Eulmore altogether after the shocking reveal of the Exarch’s marriage to Mistress Lhese. Lord Chai Nuzz has stepped in as mayor with the aid of his ward, Lord Alphinaud Leveilleur. For now, everything appears to be quiet, which means this will be this author’s last note for a while. As for our newlyweds, Lord Lhese has reportedly cut off his daughter from her inheritance and returned home to Amh Arang. Neither Mistress Lhese nor her husband seem to mind. They have retreated to Il Mheg for their honeymoon, much to King Feo Ul’s delight. The mischievous duo are a perfect match against the pixies and, according to sources, take great pleasure in outwitting them together. Married life suites them both, and this author suspects it won’t be long before a child is added into the mix. Ser Urianger Augurelt has also returned to Il Mheg with his ward, Gaia, Lord Thancred Waters, and Miss Ryne Waters in tow. Love, it seems, wasn’t just in the cards for the Exarch and his wife this season… As for what comes next, only time will tell. With Lord Vauthry’s absence, the ton might have to find a new place to congregate next season. There are plenty of options: the opulent halls of The Grand Cosmos (should the Exarch not mind hosting), the glittering castle of Lyhe Ghiah, and more. What this author does know for certain is that with the ton of Norvrandt, there will always be a juicy story to tell. Until next time, dear reader. Lady Whistledown The Exarch and his wife, N'yahdia, hold hands; she has just returned from a ride and is aback one of their horses in Il Mheg The Exarch and N'yahdia embrace in front of the castle of Il Mheg

POV you have just informed the Warrior of Light that you do not consider him to be fully alive and, ergo, will not be guilty of murder if you were to kill him
