"did you take a little bit of official lore and run with it? "
Oh, and if anyone wants to incorporate this or use this to help out with a backstory, by all means. Now that I'm getting some positive feedback, I have no problems if the community wishes to use the "Seljwaht" for anything.
Now, let me precede this by saying I did not play 1.0, and I haven't been in the beta. I haven't played FF since it came out for the NES, so my lore knowledge was nil, until I did research.
I did take a bit of the official lore and run with it. That's why I was very nervous with writing this out. Mind you, my fiancée and I scoured the internets for Roegadyn information, and we kept finding pretty much the same thing over and over again. The nice thing is that (from what I've seen) the lore is written in such a way that it leaves a bit of wiggle room when writing your own stories.
So, I took that, along with some other fictional stories and some stuff from our real world and history, threw it in a blender, and out came this frothy bit. Then, once I had this story, I got a mentor to take a look at it (THANKS KONNERÂ
) to make sure there was no really big, glaring lore/rp issues.Â

It was a bit of a creative process, but (at least I feel) it paid off. I think the big thing when it comes to writing back stories is too look at the world as a whole, and not just what has been zeroed in. Yes, we know what happened in the trailer, and it was really cool. At the same time, however, Eozera is a big world, with billions an billions of little stories going on at the same time.Â
 Time and time again I find that those little stories come forth and do the most amazing things. When you do that, however, make sure you respect the lore. There's a huge difference with bending lore and snapping it in half.Â
That's my unprofessional 2 peso's worth. Sorry if I went off topic, but.. Yes. I did
