90% lore canon as well!
So Amdapor existed somewhere between 1500 and 3000 years ago during the time of the 5th Astral Era. It was a city blessed by the Elementals with the gift of Succor, aka White Magic. During the end of the 5th Astral Era, a great war between Black Mages, White Mages, and Scholars called the War of the Magi broke out. Gone absolutely crazy with power, the Black Mages repeated the mistake of ancient Allagan Emporer Xande and opened SEVERAL voidgates in order to unleash the Seven Hells on their enemies. Meanwhile, White Mages and Scholars attempted to seal these Voidgates and destroy the Voidsent Black Mages had spawned in this world. (At great person costs, I'll add.)
Now, let's combine this with the story of Wiyu, an Allagan Summoner from the Third Astral Era who did battle with the Dark Divinity roughly 5000 years ago. Ultimately unable to defeat Odin, Wiyu sacrificed herself in order to seal Odin away. It wasn't until the 7th Umbral Era 5000 years later that her seal was finally broken and Odin re-released upon the realm.
So what I'm thinking is this... we know from E-Sumi-Yan that 1600 years ago, in one of the final great battles between Amdapor and the Black Mages, the Black Mages open several Voidgates and summon the Void King, Diabolos to destroy Amdapor. What if during that battle, your Amdaporian White Mage character pulled a Wiyu and sacrificed herself to seal one of those nondescript Voidgates and she was sealed away with it? (Not necessarily Diabolos's, but a general Voidgate.) So now, 1600 years later, those seals guarding Amdapor are beginning to fail. What if hers fails now too, and she is released from her own seal. Then a party of adventurers who are purging the city of Amdapor during a "dungeon run" find her body, aethersick and disoriented. There's your in for White Mage.
Thoughts?
It's pretty freaking awesome actually.
