I go with the assumption that our Marauder friend is responsible for new discoveries on Nymian ruins, including the discovery of faeries. I would put this down to the Calamity too, particularly as far as exploring The Wanderer's Palace goes, description of the place:
So I would say it's logical for adventurers to be attracted to this place, should they be lucky to survive. When Saefinn had a good reputation with The Maelstrom (when they found out his crimes, he lost that useful link) he helped with some trips to the ruins. Also *SPOILER* Tonberries can *potentially* have sentience too. We've seen this in the Scholar story line, though it was triggered by the faerie. */SPOILER* I have borrowed this idea in my own faeries' back story.
But to explain how I've approached things in an IC perspective. Rather than Eos and Selene being 2 fragments of the faerie. I have made them two separate entities - Asarosa (Eos) and Asaviola (Selene), they consider themselves to be sisters. Both of them have very distinct personalities, Asarosa is the one who has struggled to adapt to the modern world, the one who was very shy at first, but through thick and thin has really kept Saefinn's back, to the point where she's allowed to have an attitude problem with him...some may recall an RP when she was chasing a rather drunk Saefinn almost off of a cliff because he mistook what was essentially a nunnery as a brothel. Asaviola on the other hand, she's the more adventurous, she's embraced the modern world and has been very poorly influenced by the captain, she's an alcoholic, like he. In fact, they're a bad influence on each other. If anything, it's Asarosa who keeps things together. But both share a similar trait - a facetious attitude, both like to make fun of the captain, particularly as he refers to himself as "The Scholar Captain" and they facepalm.
With argument to summoning. I would suggest that aethyr is needed to summon, but not to sustain. Simply because MP essentially reflects aethyr use and SE has avoided using the mechanic from FFXI, whereby having an active summon meant your MP would be drained and if you wished to sustain your summon you would need to have the means of restoring your MP at a sensible rate (via gear & buffs). Whether you can summon more than 1 faerie? I suspect there is a restriction as far as binding goes, but a Summoner can summon multiple egis, just not at once. An Arcanist will use gemstones to summon carbuncle and carbuncle is able to be summoned in 2 forms, which is why I suspect Eos and Selene are 2 different forms of Lily, but it isn't explicit in lore, as far as I have seen. But, I would argue that it's not impossible for a Scholar to bind 2 faeries, like a Summoner has 3 egis ATM, so I would argue it's safe to play Eos & Selene as 2 separate entities.
I am actually playing with my faerie story arc at the moment, through all Saefinn and Asarosa have been through together, their bond has grown extremely close, it is a relationship observed as "unfaithful husband and nagging wife". They are going down a romance route...which would mean Saefinn would need to be abstinent, because frankly, I don't ERP, so porn physics won't cut it.
But I did write a story for when they suddenly realised how they felt about each other. Linky
I have also had one of Saefinn's enemies kidnap Asarosa in ransom. Could he not just unsummon her? I have thought about that, I have a couple of theories, but I don't want to offer spoilers should my dear FC members stumble upon this thread.
Quote:Decades of kobold mining deep beneath O'Ghomoro gradually weakened upper La Noscea to the point that when the Calamity struck, the land surrounding Bronze Lake collapsed, draining its waters and revealing a palace of unparalleled beauty. Thought to have been built by the Nymian civilization which thrived in the area some fifteen centuries ago, the palace appears to have been dedicated to their patron deity, Oschon, the Wanderer. In search of the bounty she may hold, treasure hunters have already begun to delve into this forsaken place...but will treasure be the only thing they find?
