Zorig lived in a cave with an enigmatic Xaela witch/necromancer in the Steppe
Kjaran is from the Eruyt Village in Golmorre Jungle (since XIV doesnt have it, I'm adapting the XII village into my lore)
Cor used to live in some Gelmorran cave in Northern Shroud but now is found in Buscarron's Druthers

As for the rest... Outside of the lala twins who came from Ul'dah, my OCs' hometowns are made up.
Kasia is from a destroyed summoner Raen village in the mountains that separate Eastern Ilsabard and Othard
Sorcha is from a small unnamed village in The Fringes of Gyr Abania

it's a manga about a noble lady and an assassin XD lots of ppl in the shoujosei manga subcommunity hyped it up and i finally checked it out now that it's ended. it's really good, tho not as amazing and mindblowing as i'd hoped but still thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless

I'm happy she's well and they miraculously managed to get a foreign doctor *right in time* to cure her. But yeah, I would have preferred had he returned to the island, found the letter, but it was a letter she had prepared before he took her back to the island sigh...

okay, i got into nakama no chikara moment XD and shinpei is too OP (i don't hate it, just that nakama no chikara moment led by a 16 year old gave me an "ahhh okay" moment lol)

The white and gold opulence of the Heavenly Palace does look, uh, more heavenly, but I like the classical ancient china design of the previous drama. It looked more majestic ngl
