Another lesson to myself to mind the poetic spirit of the English translation…
Sable as an adjective means dark, black, or gloomy.

Though all the first things you'll see refer to a type of weasel, and the color usually refers to said weasel's pelt color. Which is a greyish shade of brown.

Also, I enjoyed the short story, but I voted for Aiatar. :^) Clearly most people in the XIV playerbase just want more Ascian society. Will XIV ever gain a more popular set of characters?
