Feel free to post any lore questions here and we'll do our best to answer!

Kiarri has a few possible love interests but its the backstory that i seem to have trouble in, its been a bit jumbled for some time now. help on the forums or ingame is okay, not realy a preference either way.

If your character is 22, that would mean she was born in the Year 1555 of the Sixth Astral Era. It is currently the First Year of the Seventh Astral Era. Eorzea recently underwent an Era change after the most recent Calamity 5 years ago. Whenever one of these Calamities hits, the Astral Era ends and is replaced by an Umbral Era (or dark period in history) until however long it takes until the people of Eorzea deem their society past said dark time, resulting in another calendar reset and the start of the next Astral Era.

So the Sixth Astral Era ended in the Year 1572, the following Seventh Umbral Era lasted 5 years after that, then - as part of the MSQ - the leaders of the Eorzean Alliance declared the Umbral Era done and we reset again into the First Year of the Seventh Astral.

Hope that helps clarify some things! ^^

A good guide to Eorzea time telling can be found here!
Also a useful, albeit severely outdated Eorzean timeline of events can be found here!

Many thanks, thats one of the biggest issues ive had for the story. the other was if she were to have grown up in the shroud, how could i possibly tie the ixal into her story? one of the.. potential backgrounds i came up with was her family was slaughtered by them in their expanding through the shroud and she was almost killed but rescued by the adders or gridanian military force.

Just outside GRidania, there are some hostile Ixali (likely tempered). Perfectly plausible that her family could have been attacked. Perhaps they were travelling and were attacked on the road (like the 2.0 opening, I think?). Or maybe she had ventured out into the forest and her family was attacked while looking for her?

Well is there a way that perhaps she could have been attacked as well? i was thinking along the lines of her having lived in the shroud outside of gridania. but the attack would have lead her to having a head injury to a point of forgetting who she was and not remembering her family.
