Many things were used to describe the mad hermit of Amaurot: a drunkard, degenerate, cynical, and even monstrous by those who stirred trouble for the newly appointed Azem. But nothing could prepare Emet-Selch for what he would see for himself, when offered a chance to meet the Sun's Shadow.

#ffxiv #ancients #endwalker spoilers #emet selch #lahabrea #azem #azem oc #apollo #dionysus #hemitheos dionysus because I like the thought that anyone with soul sight will look at him #and they get to be jumpscared by what i like to personally imagine as a winged embodiment of void or the abyss #I would say the moon but within the context of FFXIV the moon isnt actually a normal astral body #though like azem/apollo and the role of the sun #I write dionysus to be the astrological moon #a character who represents the subconscious and the self- who often sees and brings out the worst in those around him #how I basically describe as being around him will break you to your barest so you can remake yourself into something better than before #unfortunately for the convocation he is also an antithesis to their ways and their biggest critic- out of love- funnily enough #also dont mind the idea that magic (especially creation magic) is so deeply ingrained that the idea of manual work is surprising to people #dionysus has to constantly use his aether to suppress his power he's either doing things by hand or sleeping #ancient zenos does not get to escape the sleepy curse #weird vintner in the mountains found lounging off in the middle of his vineyard #emet expecting dion to be the problem out of the duo until he realizes that /apollo/ is the overprotective cryptic and chaotic weirdo #with the power to stop an active volcano #and dion is the chill and collected hardworking man who despite everything is more human than most #tbh this was mostly inspired by the scenes with thordan and varis and how they react to WoL and Zenos in those moments #for dion/zenos it is their being while on the flip side for WoL/Azem it is their choices and the expression of such choices
