    Story 2/5
    Her Father's Daughter



    Maybe it is mentioned and I had completely forgotten, but felt incredibly stupid not to make the connection of Merlwyb's family name to the Serpent Revers! I was like, "oh, cool, they have blue face paint," and thought no further than that...

    And continuing my vein of general Limsa ignorance, have we come across Lorens? My feeling was he would have maybe washed up into the Company of Heroes, but Merlwyb would surely have known if that was the case. Maybe he's a hint at a minor EW character?

    About that guy

    Rather than washed up, I'd say he was the actual founder of the Company of Heroes. It matches that he wanted to round up skilled fighters, rather than join a group already existing, and his disappearance after the Calamity falls in line with the disappearance of the Company's commander which is explored during one of the post-moogle quests. We find out said commander is alive, but for some unknown reasons is keeping himself hidden from the public eye, so we never meet him.

    Though i do wonder if he's gonna be a minor character in EW regardless. Maybe one of the role quest NPCs. Actually, what if the role quests are about taking down the towers?

    I mean you shouldn't, it's brand new info, I think, right? If not made up just for this story.

    That's about where my head's at, as well. I don't recall the name. If he founded the Company of Heroes, though, it'd be weird to only say he "disappeared" after the Calamity with no mid-mention of the Company despite it being very active in the 1560s.. Though maybe he was an unseen commodore, lol. Wheiskaet was said to be a captain, not necessarily the captain.

    I would like to remind Moose that there was indeed a leader above Wheiskaet in the Company of Heroes who mysteriously disappeared shortly before the Calamity. He is talked about in that one post-moogle quest featuring Landenel: "Better Left Unfound"

    Nice catch; my brain didn't spark a connection between "the commander disbanded the Company and wandered away shortly before the Calamity" and "Lorens disappeared in the days following the calamity" but those could mean pretty much the same thing in this context.

    If Lorens is our guy, and he comes back, I vote Oriolda is with him. We were never formally introduced, but...




    ...There's still time. (Unless she ended up tempered, lol.)

    Limsa is the city state I'm least versed in. Kitty of the sands, and all that. But glad at least I wasn't overlooking something. I had an actual laugh-out-loud eureka moment when I read it through.
