A Bard’s Tale (Miqo’te Bard as Edward of FFIV)

*Description / Narration:*

Hail, fair friends and fellow travelers! 🎶
I am *K’nekotein Khpein**, Miqo’te Bard, but today I wear the soul (and attire) of **Edward* of Baron — not by birth, but by spirit. With my **Artemis Bow Nexus**, I set foot upon the winding paths of the Black Shroud, heart full of melody, quiver full of arrows, and a mind anchored in both devotion and curiosity.

🌿 Background & Setting

In this quest, “A Hearer Is Often Late”*, I follow the call of **Lothaire**, a guard posted at **Galvanth’s Spire* in the *Central Shroud* (coordinates roughly X: 22.4, Y: 26.0).

Lothaire tasks me to seek out **Hearer Leonnie**, a Conjurer who communes deeply with the elementals. She was supposed to embark on a vessel from the **Mirror Planks**, but—alas!—she is nowhere to be found.

🎭 Key Characters

**Lothaire**: The steadfast guard at Galvanth’s Spire who first gives me this errand.
**Hearer Leonnie**: A diligent Conjurer, deeply attuned to the elementals. She’s supposed to leave, but instead lingers at the Hedgetree, lost in her spiritual work.
**Armelle**: The organizer at the Mirror Planks who arranged Leonnie’s transport. When informed of the delay, she worries—but accepts Leonnie’s message with poise.

🧭 Quest Flow & Lore

1. *Speak with Leonnie* at the *Hedgetree* (in the Central Shroud). She confesses she “quite forgot” about her boat — so wrapped up is she in her communion with the spirits.
2. Leonnie reveals that her task is not yet complete: the elementals murmur of something ominous in the **Tam-Tara Deepcroft**. She asks that I convey her apology — and a request — to Armelle: she must delay her departure.
3. I journey to *Mirror Planks* (by the docks), and deliver Leonnie’s message to Armelle. She worries over what Leonnie has sensed but agrees to postpone the vessel — she even considers “bell from now? Two? … three” to be safe.
4. And so, the quest is marked complete, as I act as the messenger — the humble hearer of the hearer’s voice.

🔮 Aftermath & Significance

Though this quest may seem like a simple errand, its heart lies in *responsibility* and **listening**. Leonnie’s delay isn’t mere forgetfulness — it’s a deeper calling. The elementals’ murmur in Tam-Tara Deepcroft hints at darker currents beneath the surface of the land.

For me, as Bard-Edward, it’s a reminder: sometimes the melody is not in the arrow I shoot, but in the quiet whispers of those who serve. My role is not just to carry a message, but to honor the trust placed in me — to be the bridge between a hearer and the world she seeks to understand. And though I linger only briefly, I sense that this delay may shape future turns of fate.

🎤 Reflections as Edward

I stood beneath the ancient boughs of the Hedgetree, hushing my bow-hand to listen to Leonnie’s gentle urgency.
When I told Armelle of the unseen threat Leonnie sensed, I felt the weight of a messenger’s duty — my words might shape the timing of her journey.
In my heart, I carry both a ballad and a vow: to preserve harmony, not only through song, but in the delicate weaving of trust.
