Astral Pilgrim

(Captain) and company meet the Zeyen priestess Sophia. When they learn that the Zeyen holy grounds have a connection to the Astrals, they ask the good-natured and somewhat careless Sophia to join them.



The crew visits an exceptional country said to be prospering thanks to the supernatural protection provided by the primal beast Sylph.
They're traveling with the priestess Sophia, whom they met while heading for the royal capital Feendrache.
Vyrn: Earlier you said you're on a pilgrimage to the holy grounds, but why are you doing that, Sophia?
Sophia: It was actually a trial imposed on me by my grandfather, a high priest.
Lyria: Um... What is this Zeyen faith all about anyway?
Sophia: Huh? You guys don't know about the Zeyen faith?
Sophia: Ahem... Then allow me to explain!
Sophia: The Zeyen faith is a major creed that ties the Sky Realm to the Astral Realm.
Sophia: The Astrals left a mark on this world, and we hope to understand their intentions by carefully studying their power.
Sophia: We also believe the souls of those who believe in the divine protection of the Astrals will soon find eternal happiness.
Vyrn: Okay, we get it already! We now know all we need to know about the Zeyen faith, so thanks for the lesson!
Sophia: At any rate, I must finish my pilgrimage as all the other Zeyen high priests have over the generations.
Lyria: Whoa! I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about, but it sounds terribly difficult...
Lyria: And what are these holy grounds you keep mentioning anyway?
Sophia: That's a good question! The holy grounds, as defined in our Zeyen doctrine, are the places where the War raged.
Sophia: To be specific, they're the sites of the intense battles fought between the Astrals and skydwellers.
Vyrn: But weren't those battles centuries ago? What do you do there?
Sophia: That involves the mysterious ability bestowed upon those who take up the role of a Zeyen high priest.
Lyria: A mysterious ability?
Sophia: Yes... This ability enables me to see the power the Astrals left to linger at the holy grounds.
Vyrn: Power left behind by the Astrals... Do you mean primal beasts?
Sophia: Exactly. I can see the power of the primal beasts.
Lyria: Whoa! You can talk to primal beasts too, Sophia?
Sophia: Wait... You mean you can talk to primal beasts?
Lyria: I sure can! And I can even borrow their power!
Sophia: Incredible... I wonder what my grandfather would say if he heard that.
Sophia: But unlike you, Lyria, I can't attune myself with primal beasts. All I can do is bear witness to their power.
Vyrn: All you can do? Why would you be disappointed about that? That's pretty amazing!
Sophia: Thank you for saying that.
Lyria: But if your trial is so important to you, are you sure you can make a detour to Feendrache?
Sophia: You do have a point there. But you've touched on a bit of a weakness of mine.
Sophia: Perhaps due to the teachings of my grandfather, I'm quite unable to abandon people in trouble.
Vyrn: And so you're putting off your pilgrimage to go to the capital and make an appeal for the sake of the people of Ruforth Village.
Lyria: So once you take care of the immediate problem, you'll be back to your pilgrimage?
Sophia: That's right. And I've decided to go to a nearby island next, but... Huh?
Vyrn: What's the matter?
Sophia: I... I can't find it! I lost my map to the holy grounds!
Lyria: Wha? Are you all right, Sophia?
Vyrn: Seriously? Just when I thought you had it all together...
Sophia: No... What will I do without my map?
Lyria: Keep calm, Sophia! Check your satchel and your pockets again!
Sophia: Ugh... It's like it just disappeared...
Vyrn: In that case, I'm thinking you only have one option.
Vyrn: Why don't you come with us?
Sophia: What?
Vyrn: We're traveling to islands rumored to be the homes of primal beasts to collect pieces of the Sky Map.
Vyrn: Maybe that could help you with your pilgrimage to the holy grounds. Right, (Captain)?
Sophia: Is it really okay if I go with you?
Lyria: Of course! And that way we'll be able to talk with each other every day!
Sophia: Wait... I think I just found it. The map!
Vyrn: Oh! That's a relief! It's obviously really important to you!
Sophia: Nope. False alarm... It's actually a flier I received from a street performer at some point.
Vyrn: You got my hopes up back there!
Sophia: Ugh...
Vyrn: All right. Let's get going then. Okay?
Sophia: Thank you.
Sophia: Once we take care of this country's problems, I'd be happy to join your crew, (Captain)...
Vyrn: All right! Sounds like a plan!
Thus the crew has a fateful encounter with the priestess Sophia.
(Captain) and Sophia's journey has only just begun.
