Thus far, this is the only thing that really stands out. Kan-E-Senna, along with many of the survivors of the Twin Adders returned home to Gridania only a week at best after the Battle of Carteneau. The story, Of Friends Lost and Found, describes the events of the Calamity's immediate aftermath from a Twin Adder perspective and might help flesh out this bit of your background. The other tales detail other parts of the battle from the perspective of other participants in the calamity.

Five years passed as the two worked to find a place for themselves in the changed world. Rhela's sister was now a budding lancer who was looking to become a promising recruit for the God's Bow.
Possible continuity question?
Is she an archer trying to join the Gods' Quivermen, who range the Wood and protect the Hedge from external threats? Or is she a lancer trying to join the Wood Wailers, who maintain peace within the city-state and its surrounding hamlets? Or both - which would be the Holtwatch. Or is she seeking to follow her father's/brother's path and join the Twin Adder's White Wolves or Red Otters divisions?
Also, Godsbow is a title of great honor and distinction in Gridania. I figured you meant "Gods' Quiver" above, but wanted to impress the distinction.
Gerolt Wrote:But tell me, have ye ever heard the word “Godsbow� 'Tis an epithet what's given only to virtuosos of the bow. The first archer to be called such was one Gilbert, a man who lived durin' Gridania's fledglin' days. Legend goes he slew seven Ixali chieftains with a single arrow.

I think this depends on who you ask and more likely, how you personally write it off in RP. For some, multiple similar classes/jobs are totally fine. Some have the stipulation where they would prefer you RP learning one over time or have had your character aged/trained extensively to where they would have acquired the skill. BRD is definitely one of the most easy jobs to learn, as it really only requires singing and a true passion for music and love for your comrades in arms. Traditionally, bards have always wielded bows in Eorzea, but it's never stated as a necessity.

Jehantel Wrote:When folks think of a bard, they conjure images of a minstrel wandering the realm, performing at banquets and in alehouses for the pleasure of king and commoner alike. But the bard I would speak of is one born from a battle-hardened archer - one who sings her songs in the heat of combat to inspire her comrades to ever greater feats of martial prowess. As battles unfold, the distinction between the lines of friend and foe grows hazy. Yet the archer must stay ever alert, with arrow nocked and eyes trained upon the struggle. One need not have a vivid imagination to appreciate the torrent of emotions that rages within her in that moment. Nerves near to fraying, her breast fit to burst, the archer does the only thing she can; she sings. And in that raw melody the power to stir the souls of men. That, my friend, is the true definition of a bard.
Hope this helps! ^^ Lemme know if you have more lore questions!
