My boyfriend asked me to dig this sketch back out and try to finish it - it’s a piece I started some time ago for him of his Dark Knight in FFXIV. I curbed it because armor/dudes are hard and I’m bad at finishing things...(and just bad in general) but here we are... We will see how this goes... *sweats*  (p.s. if you are here for the FFXIV and want to see more of that, please follow my other blog at silvernsteel.tumblr.com! )

BETTER WITH AGE; SIF

Describe your muse at ages 20, 40, and 60!

20— Sharper than her bowyer father, more charismatic than her songstress mother, Sif had a reputation as an outspoken youth and a rule-breaker from the start. Deep in the Gyr Abanian mountains, this is less of a detriment to society and more of a point of pride for any parent.

40— Now with hardship and tragedy under her belt, Sif abandons hope for complacency and comfort in drink and song, but still finds the sparks of her youthful optimism hard to quell...

60— Assuming she manages to live so long, Sif will have mellowed considerably, finding grace and reflection in her wintering years. However, the passing turns will not have dulled her wit, nor her fire when her oud strings are under her nimble fingers.

My little belated tribute to FFXII’s anniversary this year! Enjoy a little Sky Pirate Silf & Leona as my first comeback piece. This was fun to work on and was kind of last minute, but had a blast doing it...even if it was late. Below you can see the original image I based this off of. FFXII has always been one of my favorites and I’ll never get over these two cool kids :hearteyes: Fran and Balthier 4 life. I hope you enjoy this little dumb piece as much as I had working on it!

Repercussions V: Recap

Yen’to frowned as he stared at the messy stack of papers on his desk. They contained various notes and information on all the messes that had cropped ever since the cursed day he ran into Khan and took that damned castrum scouting job. The previous few moons had seen no let up on the pressure against the Shroudrose staff by Garlean forces, sent directly by Tribunus Lucian or otherwise.

Kaia’s Regret

It seemed like forever ago, when Yen’to and a small group set out with Kaia to rescue her family from anti-monk brigands known as the Corpse Brigade. They had set out towards a remote part of Gyr Abania, expecting relatively light resistance. With the help of Leth’s magitek devices, they soon bypassed the defenses and infiltrated the village.

Kaia’s family had trained as monks and were formidable fighters, but the Corpse Brigade also had specialized training that countered much of the monks’ advantages. The clan had been defeated and was being held prisoner, but Kaia and the group were able to make fairly short work of the brigands, who did not expect to be fighting against heavy armor and weapons. Her brother was freed, who informed them that Kaia’s mother was being held in a nearby cave.

There were many more brigands within the cave, and were all almost defeated until the leader took Kaia’s mother hostage. Even in such a dire situation, her mother made time to berate Kaia for picking up the way of the bow instead of the way of the monk. Kaia attempted to argue back, that her way was just as strong, but unfortunately they were unable to save her before she was unceremoniously executed. However, they did manage to rescue many of the villagers alongside her brother who would become head of the clan.

Strega’s Lament

Not long afterwards, the end of a tea service was rudely interrupted by a so-called hyper-tuned soldier - beings mechanically augmented by Garlean magitek and were more machine than person. He blamed Strega for what the Garleans had turned him into, and warned that his brethren would come to kill Strega messily and violently. They cursed her and her former Garlean allies for making them unable to feel anything but pain and despair. Strega and Alyona worked all night to come up with a convoluted scheme to piss off the conjurer’s guild so they would detain Strega within their walls.

Somehow the plan worked. The hyper-tuned set off a nearby distraction to draw off conjurers and Wood Wailers before turning their attention to Strega and the rest. It was a hard fought battle, but the hyper-tuned had spread themselves out in an effort to maintain the distraction and tried to attack Strega and the group one at a time. They were nearly overwhelmed when two engaged them together, but they somehow overcame the odds to overcome them all.

Strega had wished the hyper-tuned subdued rather than killed, with the aim of having the Conjurer’s Guild heal both their bodies and minds. In the end, one was inadvertently killed but the others were handed over in custody with the hopes that their pain and suffering would be eased, and that they could eventually recover. Only time would tell if that would be true. 

Silf’s Hunt

It was an odd request, but no one really questioned it when a messenger came and informed them that Silf had invited them along for one her hunts. They headed out to the East Shroud, finding a very confused Silf who had no idea what was going on. It was then that the deranged Ala Mhigan hunters with bestial race’s heads as helmets launched their ambush. The very same ones who nearly killed them when they were interrogating a Garlean prisoner so many moons ago. They were Tribunus Lucian’s figurative attack dogs, although he also had literal ones.

The hunters used the ponds and trees to their advantage and strike nearly unseen, but Silf knew the terrain even better. With her guidance, the group managed to avoid detection long enough after escaping to turn the tables and launch an ambush of their own. The hunters had assaulted a nearby camp of Wood Wailers in their search, and Silf’s band used the distraction to flank the hunters and attack.

One of the hunters remained, wearing a Hrothgar head as a helmet, amidst a pile of Wood Wailer bodies, and challenged the entire group to a duel while screaming about “the wrath of the Hawk’s Talons.” The false Hrothgar proved to be a challenging adversary, surviving multiple wounds and retaliating with aero based attacks. In the end, Silf was able to finish him off through cunning - slitting his throat in a surprise maneuver.

Alyona’s Past(s)

The strange pink haired miqo’te had an even stranger past. One night, the group was informed by Sergeant Baxter that a Garlean prisoner, named Octavius, demanded a dinner with Alyona and her friends before he would reveal his secrets to his Ala Mhigan captors. It felt like that meeting with the Maelstrom prisoner all over again, where everything quickly went horribly wrong. But they seemed to have little real choice, since the information promised by the Garlean would save lives and no other interrogation technique had gotten him to loosen his lips.

The dinner was bland, but the conversation was particularly enlightening. Octavius seemed to know Alyona better than she knew herself. He had revealed that she had been many things before: a teacher, an orphan, a drunkard, a ditz, and most importantly of all - an Ala Mhigan agent named Mockingbird. In the course of her work she nearly killed Octavius and rescued an indoctrinated Ala Mhigan named Ragnald. She was forced to leave Ragnald for dead after a later attack, and he was subsequently captured by the Empire for “re-education”.

Having gained all the information they needed, Sergeant Baxter led them to the war front near Ghimlyt Dark where they were expected to run into Ragnald’s squad in the course of capturing a castrum for Alliance staging operations into Garlean territory. The battle was brutal and bloody, with many on both sides falling in the fray - including Sergeant Baxter. Ragnald was eventually found and recovered, Alyona having managed to bring back the memories of his past life. General Raubahn came in at the last moment with reinforcements and drove back the remaining Garleans, allowing the group to retreat and recover.

A Sign of Things to Come

(Text taken from a post by Khuron Khan, credit is not mine)

In a linkshell conversation that jogs Yen’to out of his reverie... 

 "....Does this involve Allagans?" 

 "No."

 "....Does this involve the Empire?" 

 "...No?" 

 "...Does this involve anything spooky or traumatizing?" 

"By Gods, lad- this is a simple naval reconnaissance job. This is what yer 'Teahouse' does under'dae table, aye? We'll pay upfront, you are ju-" 

 "WE'RE IN!" 

Khan placed down the linkshell with a shit-eating grin, slouching back as he rested the back of his head against his hands. "Oi! Lu Bu! Let Faye know we have an easy job'fer once!" The tiny Kobold saluted before scampering away to the hallway. "Ah- why am I such a fookin' genius?" 

 Somewhere in the seas... 

"Plonker took'dae job, Cap!" the Pirate barked out, nodding to her Captain. The Moonkeeper bit down her apple, crunching it down as she stacked her legs on top of the table, leaning back with a satisfied grin. 

 "Did they now? Aye- get the other crews ready and in position..." The Keeper stared down the horizon of the sea- gazing at the skyline of Limsa Lominsa. "And prepare the gaols- it's been sometime since I've met the half-breed; mayhap we should make the reunion at least comforting. Eh- a pillow, blanket, and a bucket should be fine until we can deliver him to'dae client" the Keeper's grin widened as her underling did a quick salute before running off to the corridors. 

 "Yen’to, Yen’to..." the Keeper stretched with a sigh before prepping her ammunitions for her flintlock. "Who the hell did you piss off to make me this rich?"
