I really like this idea, but whether I would be a part depends on whether 'all life was scoured from Eorzea' or 'most who were not on that battlefield survived to rebuild and restore Eorzea for the time the heroes would return'. That way I can figure out if Rhostel could have taken the long road to A Realm Reborn and matured a bit in the interim.
I know the former doesn't make sense given what we have seen of ARR, but I guess there could be some explanation. And I keep hearing people say it, but I've never seen an official source and it could be wild exaggeration from people who didn't understand what they're seeing. ...It is only a five year gap, right?
But enough about my problems! I want an older, wiser Rhostel to be a hunter of truth. Someone who would seek out knowledge to add to to the sanctum, and make use of its stores in her research. I haven't quite figured out the full details why, but there's plenty of time.
She's really more of a devotee of Azeyma, but the Goddess of Truth and the God of Knowledge have a lot of common ground. (Not the least of which is offspring. Nophica is the daughter of Azeyma, Llymlaen is the daughter of Thaliak, and Nophica and Llymlaen are sisters. Unless divine relationships don't function by mortal rules....) I see no conflict in paying Thaliak his dues as well.
