"Elja..." "It's the light corruption. I'm okay for now." "But for how long?" Elja belongs to @sapphireartemis.bsky.social #vierapril Day 15: Light #viera #rava #promiseau

Day 15 - light "Its almost dawn... where is... Elja? Shit, no... Elja!" #Vierapril #PromiseAU

Elja's answer depends on the timeline. In the main canon, he'd say he does, but is reluctant to try. In Brilliant Conviction, he says he wants more than anything to follow it. And in Promise? (Sorry, you'll have to come back for that one 😉)

Roll out the ship manifestos and dust off your "hear me out"s: Rarepair Week is back for its fourth year! As with previous years, you have a choice of two words for each day. Pick whichever one speaks to you more, or do both if you feel so moved! #XIVRarepairWeek #XIVRarepairWeek2026

Day 13 - Guide "Look, you know your way around the forest well enough, but Thanalan is *not* a forest. You're going to need someone who knows the place." #Vierapril #PromiseAU

WiP Wednesday is here, how bout a progress update for Brilliant Conviction? Chapter 5 is coming along nicely! I've reached the point I wanted to end with, but that's ... actually a pretty big point, so still a good bit left to get down before editing. Have a snip!

Who needs a winter coat when you have a black mage to keep you warm? 🤭 ty @elvensunday.bsky.social for such a beautiful illustration of the lads!!

pov you deliver a message to lord hien but he's in the middle of a very interesting sparring match 🤭 #ffxiv #calien #wolhien

Haurchy as Scion! I did one for Ysayle/Esty a long time ago. Always wanted to make one for him ✨ Sorry there isn't much armor lol, I feel like most of Scion's fits revolve around a 'travel light' and 'modern' vibe. #Shinjyuart #Haurchefant #FFXIV

I think if I had never picked up Guild Wars 2, I would never have left my toxic marriage, met my now partner of 9 and a half years, met my best friend, moved States, found XIV, and gotten back into writing. Maybe I should introduce my Pact Commander sometime?

Elja is about 67 at the time of 7.3 - still pretty young by Viera standards and yet still the oldest one in the group. Thankfully he's able to split the "old man" jokes with G'raha.

Sat down in my new chair to write because I thought it was a good idea to change PoV on a chapter that was already a quarter of the way written. Milo: Can't have that!

Never GPosing in peace again
