THANK YOU, FERN!

A-Ruhn-Senna iirc? I'll try and look it up later.

I would be amused if the letter signified something important, but I doubt it would be rank. The three seedseers all rank above E-Sumi. But if it was the number of the child, that would certainly fit.

I thought as much - I went looking through my old 1.0 screenshots and I found the npc I was thinking of - one who indeed mentions that the padjal aren't 'born' as such but transformed by the elementals - a particular male hyur npc called 'Wisperly Whiskered Woodworker' who only appeared during the instance at the Adventurers Guild at the start of the Gridanian main scenario quests (when your character first arrived in Gridania) mentioned this if you took the time to speak to him:

"In Gridania, there live a chosen few who are blessed by the forest. They are known as the Padjal. The touch of the elementals causes horns to sprout from their heads. They are an ageless kind, fluent in the tongue of the forest. It is the stuff of faerie tales, no?"

(Directly typed from a screenshot taken of the scene in question in 1.0)

So yeah, that basically shows that it's well known in Gridania where the Padjal come from, although as Catapult mentioned, it doesn't really explain where the Senna siblings came from. All I can think of is they were symbolically 'transformed' at the same time in during a rite or something. But that's a real long shot.

Anyway, sorry for derailling what is meant to be a Ferne-thanking thread. Thank you Ferne for the forum! I can definitely see it's going to be my favourite part of the site (as the story is the main reason I play ).
