Final Fantasy XIV gpose. Bram (a hyuran bard) plays his harp from an elevated position, while Moro'a (miqo'te) looks up at him from a short distance below, near the shore of Silvertear Lake in Mor Dhona.

🌫️Under Gloom-warped Sky🌫️

It was sneaky of him—nosy, even, if he was honest. But he owed Moro’a a debt. This was the least he could do.

Dressed in a Sharlayan researcher's robes, Erichthonios stares up at an early morning sky of grey-blue and pale pink clouds. The vast sky frames him, making him appear isolated and tranquil all at once.

🌅I feel at home here in the middle of nowhere🌅

Erichthonios ventures beyond the bounds of Aporia for a fleeting glimpse of the future.

Moro'a (Keeper miqo'te man) flinches, reaching for his head as an Echo vision beckons. In front of him, Bram (Midlander hyur) reaches towards him reflexively, concerned and alarmed.

A closer, profile shot of Moro'a, his head lowered and his thick blue and green fringe obscuring his face as the Echo vision takes hold.

A close up of Bram in profile, with grey-green tone of an Echo flashback. His silver-streaked hair obscures his face, mirroring Moro'a's pose in the previous image, except that his braid falls over his right shoulder, and he's drenched in blood from the shoulder down.

🌀Echoes Unbidden🌀

The impending blow, too late to parry.

Moro'a, a miqo'te with blue and green braided hair dressed in a blue half-robe, sits a table in Seventh Heaven while he watches a performing bard in the far corner. The bard in question is a midlander hyur, one leg swung over the other as he plays a harp.

A close-up shot of Bram, the bard performing in Seventh Heaven. His eyes are shut with calm focus as he strums his harp, seemingly unheeding of his surroundings, though not all is as it seems.

🎵Songs for the Weary🎵

Moro'a seeks respite at Seventh Heaven after a difficult bout of healing, where he encounters a curious form of magic from a familiar face.

Koh'sae and Moro'a, two Keeper miqo'te men standing side by side in Limsa Lominsa. It's late at night, or early in the morning, the sky a foggy grey-blue.

Tracking down Koh'sae proved to be the easy part. Standing a good few yalms off the entrance of Naldeq & Vimelli's, Moro'a glimpsed the man as he walked into view, balancing a half-finished shield in his arms. He shuffled a step forward from the white stone arch he'd hidden behind, only to stop himself. He'd made it this far, yes—but just what was he supposed to say? He didn't want to cause a scene at the guild, but neither did he want to catch Koh'sae completely unawares. Unable to reach a decision, he waited, until the sun was beginning to set and the armourers had begun to leave, fiddling with the leather cord around his neck all the while. His mind raced, yet none of his thoughts would stick, unable to form an appropriate greeting for when the moment came. He started as he heard Koh'sae call out a goodbye, alarmingly close. He'd held off for far too long. He stepped out from behind the arch and nearly walked straight into the other Keeper, bringing them both to an abrupt stop. Shit.

Summary: Moro'a lives out his days working at Mealvann's Gate and training under the Arcanist's Guild. Old hurts drive him to blend in unseen, but an undesirable encounter with another Keeper miqo'te leads to many unforeseen experiences—and feelings. Pre-ARR, before the Seventh Umbral Calamity.

The day Moro'a met Koh'sae, he'd been unhappy and tired, still green and learning the ins and outs of Mealvann's Gate.
