I'levia Backstory
I'levia Rhel, rarely does the backstory matter for the grand scheme of all that is presented in the MSQ, and the first 30 levels of ARR are often enough backstory for what the story needs. However, I have grown attached to my WoL and have had a more complete backstory developed in my mind for her and I wish to put it in writing and develop it further. So, please indulge me as I tell the story of my WoL in my attempts at prose.
On the east of the peninsula of Eorzea, across the shores between The Black Shroud and Thanalan, unclaimed is where the I tribe made its home and where I'levia was born. A region filled with tall mountains, deep swamps, and large cliffs, a region of difficult for travel but those in the I tribe, were nomads and experienced in its traverse.
I'levia was born here by another name, yet she was born as a Tia, and son of the Nuhn I'Rhel.
Things were normal, however I'levia felt the need to express herself differently, but before she could do much about it the Calamity happened.
The Old nuhn died in the calamity, and I'Rhel came into power.
I'Rhel saw the aftermath of the calamity to turn the tribe into bandits and pirates, stealing to sustain themselves. I'levia was a part of these raids.
In one of the raids a priest of Nymeia gave a portent to I'Rhel, that one of his daughters would kill him and put an end to his wicked rule. He of course laughed knowing that none of his children were daughters.
I'levia saw this and despaired seeing as she couldn't do anything about it. One day however a pixie came to her and curiously asked why she was so sad. The pixie told I'levia that she could just leave and venture out on her own, but she felt that would just leave the problem and not solve it, "So then why not change it?"
So, she did, and challenge the Nuhn, her father and won. In the end this created a crisis of identity for her. Was she truly a woman? What was the whole point of this? The tribe encircling her she grabbed some supplies from the tent and ran off.
Some time passed and she made it over to the Silver Bazaar where she felt she was far enough away and worked the odd jobs in the area and even did some unlicensed adventuring.
From the loot she took from her tribe she found a bottle of fantasia. She drank it sure of her new fate and Skipper jumped till she made it to Gridania.
