I'm not sure why, maybe because he was representing the unpopular rare Auri M face, or the voice actor, or just because I loved Thavnair aesthetically as a zone, but Ahewann's death hit my harder than a majority of other deaths in the MSQ. And to me the sequence with Matsya and the baby and the lead up to trying to find his friends and the despair that we couldn't save them- and almost lost him and the baby- was the most effective use of terror and sorrow that XIV has done, dwarfing ARR patches or HW.
