BIOGRAPHY

  • It was an evening like any other when Baderon Tenfingers met a Highlander whose feet could barely touch the bottom of the ocean that was Limsa Lominsa. Void of any evidence of her existence prior to the Seventh Umbral Calamity, Zoryashka Mayrduk told a brief story of waking in a field of grass and oranges—she knew nothing but her name, and had nothing but the clothes on her back.
  • In fact, she seemed to barely know the language. Despite understanding each word they said, she hardly spoke at first. It took the ever-curious commander of Yellowjackets and Baderon both to pull all they could out of her. Tongue-tied, the Viera commander of the Yellowjackets described it as. But by the time they had all found peace with what little information she could share with them, Zoryashka found that she could talk up a storm. Baderon offered to cover for a night at the inn, under the condition that she would join the Adventurers' Guild and get up on her feet.
  • After a long night of wracking her mind, Zoryashka found not a single memory prior to her awakening in the La Noscea orchards; not only of herself, but of the world around her. For all intents and purposes, she may as well have not existed before now.
  • Come that morning, she kept her promise to Baderon: she registered with the Adventurers' Guild, managing to write her name by copying the unfamiliar letters from the previous registrants. She would then go on to join the Arcanists' Guild, where she finds incredible ease in conjuring creatures into existence and makes quick friends with her fellow guildmates.
  • As the weeks go on, Zoryashka does well to fit in with the people of Limsa Lominsa; she is recognized by many of its regular merchants and visitors. One that slips beyond her attention is Y'shtola Rhul of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. While investigating potential kidnappers near the Seasong Grotto, Zoryashka is approached by this Cultured Conjurer of a Miqo'te; thus does she take the true first step into her awaiting journey, called upon by Hydaelyn Herself.
