Ashlan - Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent

[zazu75]

@sweetspicybingo's Hurt/Comfort Bingo done! I used an RNG for 1-25 and let it give me the prompts to do. (I absolutely cheated and chose number 11 by myself when I noticed where 10 landed). It was a lot of fun! They kinda got posted on AO3 out of order (two fics got their spots switched) but I'm gonna put them in order on the pic up there.

Without further ado, here's the fics!

1 - Their Worst Fear

Title: A Flicker in the Elevator Fandom: OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the Continent Modern AU, Claustrophobia, Panic Attack, anxiety attack Summary: Auguste had noticed Gilderoy's aversion to elevators. He didn't find out what it was about until they almost got stuck in one.

2 - "Can I give you a hug?"

Title: Hugs to Calm Down Fandom: OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the Continent fear for life, out of control monsters, Panic, Hugs, Hurt/Comfort, Mentions of Murder, Facing your own mortality Summary: Ashlan is out looking for the monsters that target merchants, and hears Dorothea scream.

3 - Wound Care

Title: Treatment from a Cait when you're Allergic to Caits Fandom: OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the Continent Injury, Cat allergy Summary: Wingate is allergic to caits. Unfortunately for him, Isla is the only one available to treat his wounds at the moment.

4 - Magic Healing

Title: From the Brink of Death Fandom: OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the Continent hurt almost no comfort, Almost death, Magic Healing, child hurt Summary: Mikhail's thoughts as he almost dies from poison, and the blue flame that saves him.

5 - Wiping Away Tears

Title: Cat Scratch Fandom: OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the Continent minor injury, hurt (literally)/comfort Summary: Rodion's work is interrupted when his daughter bursts into his workshop. His cat had scratched her, and she wanted comfort.

6 - Flashback

Title: The Red Cathedral Fandom: OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the Continent Flashbacks, Fear, Mentions of Death Summary: Eliza did not want to be in the Cathedral of Tytos, but gave herself no choice.

7 - Deep Breath

Title: The Lost and the Overprotective Fandom: OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the Continent Getting Lost, bugs mention, Spiders, getting stuck in a tree root, Overprotectiveness, sucky cousins, back in the past Summary: Schwartz was studying a spider when he comes across his cousin, Cyrus, who's very lost in the woods.

8 - Emergency Room

Title: The Stabbening Fandom: OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the Continent Accidental Stabbing, Physical hurt Summary: Theo stared. Fiore looked much too cheerful for someone who had been accidentally stabbed by having a knife thrown at her.

9 - "Do you even care?"

Title: A Pious Idiot Fandom: OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the Continent Threats of Bodily Harm Summary: Mabel is used to Prome's antics, but him saying that if he wasn't dating his boyfriend, that he would have killed him already… She's not sure he knows how much that must have hurt Stead to hear. (She's right.) (He's an idiot.) (She gets nowhere with him.)

10 - Held Captive

Title: Held Captive Fandom: OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the Continent Implied Torture, Hurt No Comfort, Angst Summary: It was Gilderoy's third day here.

I’m seeing some of the original Octopath Traveler NPCs mentioned in the comments and since I’m here, going to comment on some of my favorite from the original too:

❤️ Basically any NPC in Tressa’s story: Noa is great, Ali is fun and a great contrast to Tressa, Leon is also really good, Mikk & Makk are fun too.

🧡 She gets little development, but I also really like Esmeralda too. She’s really pretty.

💛 I am…a Vanessa fan. Not an apologist, I think she’s worse than Miguel, but she’s absolutely gorgeous and a great contrast to Alfyn (anyway, I think she and Esmeralda should kiss)

💚 The characters you fight in Olberic’s second chapter (sorry I forgot their names) and of course Erhardt. There’s a reason why he and Olberic go well together

💙 Many of the sidequest characters are great, some of my favorites are Le Mann, Noelle, Ashlan, and Kaia. Imagine how pumped I was when I found out you can get Noelle in Champions of the Continent.

💜 Can never forget Gareth. Man goes through so much and he deserves better than Darius. Also Kit goes through a lot and I think he deserves 9th traveler status. YUSAFA! She didn’t deserve to die like that!

My one of my favorite things about the Octopath Traveler fandom is when people start getting attach to NPCs and start doing art/fics about them.

Reblog/Comment on this post saying what NPCs you guys really like a lot! Some of my favorite NPCs include Plukk, Rai Mei, Alrond, and Ori! A few a like a ton but I haven’t seen much of them yet are Floyd, Mikka, Mao and Ort!

[viridiave]

First one for Team Boost- I always have trouble drawing H’aanit so I’m glad to see this time it turned out relatively okay akjskas

And I like Ashlan! And his COTC design! I think these two should be friends like seriously they’re basically on the exact same quest in the base game 

at least Ashlan didn’t have to deal with as big of a demonic machination though

good for him though he gets to live with his dad quietly afterwards

Artemisia (Wormwood) - Dignity; Gift from Artemis 

Lucerne - Life; Breath of Life

[silverwarewolf]

Sure, they don't fight gods or travel through the whole continent but they're pretty cool and have such stories! A whole dragon egg! A legendary sword from the forest! A dead king! Honestly, it would be fun to have them as a party.

Octopath Traveler 2/2: electric boogaloo the major side quests

Also, sorry to the other travelers, but Le Mann was the very first person to show Therion friendship and trust. They're friends, besties, your honor.

Lands of Orsterra

For my own convenience, I’ve compiled some of the basic information about each region in Orsterra! These are coming from canon game facts, either taken from in-game quests/inquiries or from the JP Octopath website 

We get a lot of kingdom names here and since I can’t read Japanese, spellings vary / spoilers!

The Sunlands

Ruled by the Kingdom of Triberia

Kings are chosen at the Great Assembly, by the vote of the other chiefs

100 years ago, the twelve clans warred against each other for control of a small oasis

The Yashum Clan ended the strife by uniting the clans

The current king, King Khalim, and his daughter, Gloria, hail from the Yashum Clan

-

The Highlands 

Currently not ruled by any kingdom, unstable with strife

Was controlled by the Kingdom of Hornburg for 200 years until its downfall 8 years ago

The kingdom of Hornburg was founded by Beowulf, second prince of Ferien (which then ruled the Cliftlands and Riverlands), as a reward for his successful conquests

Last ruler was King Alfred, who was slain by Erhardt during the country’s civil war

Currently, the remaining lords are locked in a power struggle for the region

Known for: dairy farming, major paper/timber production, book archive

Also mentions of the Ventus Dynasty which had ruled in Everhold 300 years ago

Leading up to his death, Ventus III had introduced several reforms that brought a prosperous age to the kingdom under his son’s rule

After his son died, the kingdom fell into civil war

Two brothers (to put into perspective, Ventus III’s grandsons) fought over the throne; one the son of the queen, the other the bastard son of the king’s mistress

the illegitimate son was older and better of the two, but “only true blood matters, and the throne was his brother’s” (Ventus the Third quest line)

Simeon’s the younger brother who won the war

-

The Riverlands

Ruled by the Riven/Reeven Kingdom

Formerly was a part of the Kingdom of Ferien, until 150 years ago Ferien split

Fertile land, agricultural goldmine

Rivers are vital to trade industry

Church of the Sacred Flame has large influence (Saintsbridge)

10-12 years ago the Great Pestilence spread through the Riverlands

10 years ago Alfyn got sick (side note: Graham was 24 when he treated Alfyn)

The sickness was spread via the river (based on inquiry; it’s not explicitly labeled the Pestilence, but I think it’s likely that this is how it spread; the disease consumed all of the Riverlands, after all)

Same inquiry implies a significant number of deaths were from lack of a clean water supply; deaths from sickness and dehydration

Riverford had several disasters: within the last 27 years, its river has flooded, fires ravaged the town, their lord was overthrown

Currently ruled by King Richard

-

The Woodlands

Not a unified country, but autonomous villages and cities

Bordered by the Verdant Deep (the sea) on the west

Home to the Darkwood tribe and remnants of the Greenwood tribe (though the people of the Greenwood tribe were banished by the Darkwood; see: Ashlan)

Land appears to be shared with local lords (see: Lord Ciaran in H’aanit’s chapter 1)

-

The Cliftlands

Ruled by the Kingdom of Edras

Formerly was part of the Kingdom of Ferien, but likely became Edras after the Ferien princes’ battle over the throne 150 years ago, which had created the Riverland’s Kingdom of Riven/Reeven

Economy fueled by smithing industry and abundance in rock salt for trade

Home to wealthy nobles and hotspot for merchants

However, there is a stark divide between the wealthy and impoverished

Kingdom of Edras’ currency -- leaves -- are the major currency of Orsterra

Currently ruled by King Elman

-

The Frostlands

Autonomous cities

Home to Flamesgrace, where the main cathedral for the Order of the Sacred Flame resides

Thought of as the land where Aelfric descended

When Grandport invaded the Flatlands 200 years ago, the Church of the Sacred Flame allied with the Flatlands tribes to repel them; in thanks, the Flatlands tribes (Wald Kingdom) awarded them Flamesgrace*

-

The Flatlands

Ruled by the Wald/Wolde Kingdom

Home to the Royal Academy, where scholars study

In the past, was made up of eight tribes that constantly fought

The tribes united 200 years ago when the Kingdom of Grandport invaded

With the help of the Church of the Sacred Flame, they repelled Grandport and united into the Kingdom of Wald

Currently ruled by King Othred II, to be succeeded by Princess Mary

In the present, the Royal Academy seems to be spearheading medical research and treatment

-

The Coastlands 

Autonomous city-states

Formerly ruled by the Kingdom of Grandport which fell after they lost a war to the Flatlands 200 years ago

Fishing industry and trade thrive here

Significant damage from pirates/pillagers/private vessels

Often trades with the continent to the east (that we know nothing about)

The seas in the east are described as stormy

-

*unsure about this translation, but it makes sense to me since Atlasdam and Flamesgrace are very close to each other

I’m still going through the game and looking through JP content, but here’s what I’ve got so far! This might get updated as I find/amend things.

[blazlngblade]

I got reminded about how great the Champions NPCs Quintet is and I wanted to show them off! These five, you might recognize. They are;

Ashlan, the Beastmaster

Heinz, the Enlightened Aristocrat

Iris, the Blue Dancer

Miles, the Servant of the Flame

Noelle, the Seeker of Knowledge

My favourites are Iris and Heinz! I hope you guys getting to play Champions of the Continent for the first time this summer (or the demo!) are looking forward to meeting them.

[silverwarewolf]

hello dear octopath fandom. today i bring to you a realization i should've had much sooner (or that i had and then promptly forgot about)

the major side quests mirror the travelers in some way or another.

Miles and Ophilia are on a journey to honor their dead fathers' names and fulfill duties of their own.

Theracio and Cyrus are fervent about bringing knowledge to the world and realizing the importance of wielding it correctly.

Le Mann and Tressa are very excited about getting to explore the world at large, and meet some bandits in grandport.

Noelle and Olberic have a connection to hornburg and seek to understand and/or resolve its past.

Gloria and Primrose go through burdensome journeys to find information that helps them incriminate/kill someone in a position of power.

Meryl and Alfyn seek to solve a bit of a mystery around their childhoods, whether it be their birth mother or the apothecary that saved their life.

Kaia and Therion are on perilous travels to find/take care of the greatest treasures in Orsterra, both of which are closely related to dragons.

Ashlan and H'aanit go around the world finding information about a very dark kind of magic in order to save their masters from a curse.
