Introduction to The Wayfarer's Covenant

[FreeJayFly]

 

"We all have directions to follow... it just takes longer for some of us to find that direction which is right."

 

Welcome to the Wayfarer's Covenant, a group that has dedicated itself to the ever changing winds of journey and discovery. What started off as one's personal journey culminated into what it is now. Not all journeys are the same, and not all discoveries are immediate... but the Wayfarer's Covenant has become a close knit group of people that continue to explore the world of Hydaelyn whilst extending their hands to those like themselves. Wanderers, orphans, deserters, those who are simply lost... we extend our hands to you. We extend our hands in the hope that we can forge lasting bonds and bring virtue to our names where others would see it rubbed out, or not care at all what happens to it.

 

So long as your journey sees you bringing in more good to the lands of Hydaelyn, we extend our hands to you.

 

 

• Aja Nagano / AnimusN [L]

 

The stalwart founder and leader of this Free Company, Aja Nagano hails from the lands of Hingashi. A Doman sympathizer and former recruit for their resistance against the Garlean Empire, injuries left Aja with little means to contribute to the Resistance, and unable to uphold Kaien's will, he left his homeland, searching for something more.

 

Using his knowledge of espionage and shinobi techniques, he smuggled himself out of Othard, and to Eorzea, in search of others like him, who felt like they were unable to contribute to their societies, who were lost, unwanted, undesirable. His thirst for knowledge and penchant for exploring found him new allies, and with it, he formed the Wayfarer's Covenant - working out of his dusty old home in Kugane. Aja keeps many mysteries to himself, such as his magitek eye, and where he found his battered gunblade, but not so secretive that his allies know too little about the Hingan Miqo'te.

 

 

• Callidus Cicuma / MyrDoodles [L]

 

Traveling from the Eorzean seas of La Noscea, Callidus is an interesting fellow with a mysterious past and a surprising technical knowledge few possess outside of Garlond Ironworks. He carries a somewhat clumsy way about talking to strangers, but his intentions are always well-mannered and mean no offense. Callidus always seems absorbed in learning the cultures around him and knowing more about the world.
 

Certain events have shifted his studies into aetherical research and understanding the many aspects of its shape and nature. Following rumours about one other person with interesting knowledge, Callidus arrived at the Rest and connected with a familiar partner from his past.

Currently, Callidus has been spending countless days pouring over this aetheric research, and more recently attempted to set this research into practice. Though his method still lacks skill, he often shows an aptitude for talent in wielding the aether.

 

• Primam Chorus / FreeJayFly [L]

 

Wandering in from Namai in Yanxia, Primam is a woman of mysterious origin to the realm of Hydaelyn. Primam holds interesting knowledge and ways of doing things. While strange to many, she seems to have her heart in the right place when it comes to those around her, and when it comes to pulling her weight within the Rest. She has offered her time and efforts into refurbishing and fixing up the Rest when it was offered to her as a place to stay.

 

Now, while Primam pursues the study of aether travel as well as the teachings of being a Red Mage, she is considered a rather valuable ally to the Rest for her work ethic and kind heart. She is always happy to help those that come to the Rest for sanctuary of any kind, and is more than willing to assist in whatever ways she can.

 

• Yisun Kha / April [L]

 

Yisun travelled across Eorzea for many years before finally finding a home at the Rest.  Although timid, once she opens up to others she can be quite the conversation partner, despite her stutter and tendency to speak far too quickly. Polite to a fault and a bit of a worrier, she makes sure to greet every new face at the Rest with a tray of tea and sandwiches.

 

The infirmary is where she does her work. Trained in Warmwine, Yisun has a steady hand for surgery, first aid, and alchemy. She also uses carbuncles--she's often seen with a topaz carbuncle at her heels, who assists her at the bedside of patients. No pay is asked for nor expected; she's happy to give treatment, no matter who is asking.

 

 

• Alicia Seras / AliciaSeras [L]

 

Alicia spent many years training under her grandma Hyll before she made her way to the Rest, having been brought there by Des and told she could stay while helping the war effort in the Far East. She views the Rest as a place where she can make new friends and allies, while continuing her training to become even stronger. She maintains a presence around the Rest, always ready to help others no matter the cost to herself, and working to form new friendships.

 

She pursues the path of Samurai, fighting viciously against injustice and evil in every form, with an especially anti-garlean sentiment held deep within her heart.

 

• Altheria Zhandri / Arigaaz [L]

 

Somehow regarded as the guard of the rest despite her far from battle-hardened appearance, Altheria Zhandri remains a frequent fixture in the background of its day-to-day activities. Aside from her demure disposition, not much is known about the soldier that resides there aside from her ex-Garlean past and her reluctance to discuss it. Perhaps with the size of the sword she carries on her back, nothing else is needed.

 

Maybe it was a higher calling that brought her to the Rest's confines - a past to be atoned for, or a future yet to be brought into reality. On the other hand, perhaps it was merely a safe place to hide from the empire from which she fled.

 

Regardless of the reason, she keeps watch - eager to stand up for those who cannot fight for themselves and punish those who would attempt to do them harm.

 

• Veata Aydelotte / Naga [L]

 

Brought into contact with The Wayfarer's Rest by its founder, Veata Aydelotte does not directly align herself with the foundation. Rather, she is an infrequent passer through that continues to maintain a nomadic lifestyle in the lands of Eorzea. The more common sight to the Hingashi home are her younger sisters, Nearidei and Rangsei, as she turns to the few she trusts to look after them when work demands her presence for long periods of time.

 

Not much is said to be known about the Viera. Silver threads itself in each word when she offers shallow answers to questions posed to herself and her stories. But sometimes the smile flickers if only for a blink of the eye. She is, after all, a child of The Wood. For those that are in need of an Eorzean contact, she serves the purpose quite well. For that which she is not capable of, a name might slip from her tongue after careful consideration.
