Day 12: Mirage
In a land where thought births life, a lone Hrothgar contemplates the nature of his own paint, guided by artists of eld. Is it any less real than the tricks of light the Ancient night sky paints into his conscious?

Day 11: Frontier
One shall never forget the senseless carnage of the Battle of Ghimlyt. He never would, having seen the suffering not only of his allies, but also his closest friends.

Day 10: Resonance
This takes me back - my very first screenshot. I wasn't planning on starting XIV for a while, but once I saw you could play a #hrothgar, it resonated with me. Never regretted it.
Presenting myself as one may as well have changed my life for the better.

Day 9: Sunrise
Being the result of reflecting past adventures, Solar Bahamut marks a milestone in Vertyl's summoning abilities. The destructive primal Bahamut finally turned into a beacon of hope, promising anyone who sees it a next sunrise.

Day 8: Guard
When you have spent all your life putting up walls, conjuring great shields, draping yourself in loneliest, blackest nights, you may not know a life without.
Yet for some, it is worth putting your guard down.

Day 7: Ascend
Seraphism is the pinnacle of Nymian expertise, and despite its sacred appearance just another tool in a Scholar's arsenal.

Day 6: Twilight
"Tell me... Do you ever feel a strange sadness as dusk falls? They say it's the only time we can feel the lingering regrets of spirits who have left our world. That is why loneliness always pervades the hour of twilight..."

On a secondary note: It was really fun trying to find a bakery-like environment in the towns, only to find these beautifully normal mapped loaves of bread... next to pancakes(?) that would make the N64 blush.

Day 5: Soul
Having travelled all across the Source in search of a soul, this Hrothgar finally found one beyond the veil on the First. Seriously, it was hard to find any environmental bread.
How is this connected to "soul"? It's a pastry, look it up!

Day 4: Twin
The Moon Flute reveals to me my own likeness.
You Doppelgänger, you pale companion!
Why do you mimic my BLUsickness,
That tormented me at this place
For so many nights in the past?

- Phantom Thief of your heart.

Day 2: Legacy
We think of Legacy as a grand remnant of our very existence. And yet I'd ask you to ponder the smaller 'legacies' you're leaving every day. The small nothings invoking joyful 'somethings', however long.

Day 1: Greetings
There's many ways to make yourself known, but most of them start with a "heyho", "ohokaliy", "greetings", "lahee" or even "meowdy". Rare is a message as powerful as pushing up your glasses, however. Silent and immediate in establishing oneself.
Incidentally, my first #Hrothtober!

Lastly, his crusade against despair called for a beacon of light and hope. Recalling prior experience, he created his own armour - a mix of Sharlayan academicism and the Coerthan chivalry. It would be the last role he would assume before returning to his roots as a gentlemanly Scholar.

Even though his experience as a Dark Knight proved useful within the Everlasting Light, Vertyl sought help from another beyond to assist in this one. Forging a covenant with his voidsent avatar, he aspired to not only help one world, but all of them, using a scythe gifted by a dear friend.

It was only after defeating the Heaven's Ward that he could return to his business as a Scion second and adventurer first. Combining flourish with versatility, it's his rapier and focus that aided him to free Ala Mhigo and Doma, proudly adding his own touches to his new Scion uniform.

Seeing the injustices of his beloved Eorzea and then Ishgard firsthand, he applied his inner darkness to his shielding abilities, effortlessly assuming the role of a protector in the garbs of a former adventurer and refugee.

Throughout his journey as the Warrior of Light, Vertyl has donned many different roles and styles.
He had always been a strategist and thinker, wielding arcanima to harm and heal, expanding his prowess in the ways of the Summoner and Scholar later on. All while wearing a stylish Lominsan coat.

I'm very rarely mad about specific glam options being locked to certain roles, but you can't tell me this Scouting chestpiece isn't perfect as high-level SCH gear! If it was dyable I could even keep my wine red colours, the gold accents are already there!
