 rule 001. 

heavier themes are not off limits and if the story is naturally flowing in that direction then that line will be followed. If things start feeling uncomfortable do not hesitate to ping ooc to either change course or drop it entirely

 rule 002. 

prejudices do exist in the world of FFXIV and while those types of interactions will not be off limits, please know that it may be short lived as erdene will probably just walk away.

 rule 003. 

that being said, real life bigotry and prejudices will not be tolerated.

 rule 004. 

please do not meta or make erdene do something in your reply.

 rule 005. 

The writer is not Erdenetungalag and visa versa. please do not equate ic interactions to ooc feelings. no bleeding, please.

 rule 006. 

pre-established relationships are a-ok. feel free to check in about having erdene already know your character. especially if your character is a tumet.

personality Erdene is calm to the point of seeming apathetic unless she is talking about her favorite subjects. she is very measured in how she speaks which may come off as overly formal and cold at first. She can often be seen wearing tradtional steppe attire unless the occassion calls for something different.

 short bio 

Born to the Tumet tribe of the Azim Steppe, Erdene is used to hardship. As with all Tumet children, on her tenth summer she was tied to a sacred tree and left behind. Tasked with freeing herself from her bonds and catching up with the tribe, Erdene pushed through her rite of passage with calm determination. It took the sum of five days for her to catch up to the tribe but when she did, her mother embraced her and named her Erdenetungalag - a clear jewel.On her 30th summer she embarked upon a personal quest to meet with and write down her impressions of the many tribes of the Xaela. During her journey she decided to expand her travels even further to Gridania, Thavnair, and Ishgard among other locations. Though her main focus is still to add to her logs about the Xaela tribes.Once tasked with being a "hand of torment" for the Tumet, Erdenetungalag has since been allowed to retire. With her new free time, she has elected to open a small bookstore that specializes in rare finds. Located in Kholyn Ger in the mist, Tumet's tomes takes up most of erdenetungalag's time when she's not wandering for her research.
