“I’m not a seeker, I’m a keeper” is usually met with perplexed stares. That is not my way of flirting –I’m excellent at that without the use of one liners. That’s how I explain that I am from a clan which is part of the Keepers of the Moon. We are described as “the opposite of the Seekers”, so people tend to think that women take a lot of husbands, who are raised to be obedient and soft homemakers. But that’s entirely not true. Let me describe you my town: Our homes are big and have a lot of room for communal areas. Men tend to move around a lot, when they get invited by a new lover to spend some time with her and her family; anywhere from a few weeks to a few years. Sometimes a woman will have more than one lover, if both lovers are into that –no shame if they aren’t. Paternity is not very important, not all children know who fathered them, and nobody minds this. The entire town is responsible for children –all children. All men are fathers and all women are mothers to some extent. Children tend to move around too, but for only days or weeks, when they go visit their cousins or friends. We are like a big, carefree family in town. Nobody owns men and they are free to be as active and working as their Seeker peers are.
Learning about how people live in Eorzea was a bit of a shock because of the differences, but I adapted to being an adventurer after not too long. I thought I knew everything about ways of life. That is, until I met Wojtek. I didn't even know how to pronounce [Voy-tek] correctly! The Hrotghar appeared soon after the Viera fems but apparently hitched a ride with the rest of the Viera who kept so secret that some Eorzeans thought they were imaginary. What is going on in that continent? Anyways. Other Eorzeans were a bit intimidated by those walls of muscles covered in fur, mainly because of their big cat heads but you know what I saw? I didn't see monsters. I saw opportunities. I am a very... hands-on adventurer, let's say, and I've had some incidents, let's say, so I won't miss a chance to be surrounded by big, competent, strong, hot, ahem, strong allies for my line of work. I met this big red artisan selling his wares in Radz-at-Han and we got to talk while I picked some jewelry, which is incredibly important for my job, shut up. He taught me a lot about his people and traditions, and their need to follow a queen and devote themselves to her. I also learned that he is a very skilled jewelry artisan and that he takes commissions. Then I payed him to make me a queen crown. His name is Wojtek, which means a warrior to whom combat brings joy. His surname is Amindorah, which means he's devoted to a queen, of the surname Mindorah. Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm Ighii Mindorah.
