For number 10 as I continue to catch up on #AutumnRepost, Reunion! And since I don't have a Sephiroth Bera sitting anywhere (although Bera would be happy to bring you dis pear 🍐) here's Bera's reunion right at the start of Heavensward, redicovering the surviving scions.

#beraqotd #beralore To me, they're things that always happen even if they're not always the focus. Bera's done many novelty menus at the Bismark for various holiday events.

It can fit beach episode vibes I suppose, but it's still canon. The small sweet moments are just as important to Bera's story.
In honor of moonfire here's an interesting #WoLQotD I've been thinking of:
Do you like to incorporate these big seasonal events into your WoL/OCs "main" canon or are they more fun Beach Episode AU moments for them - or some mix of both?

#beraaotd #beralore

For Berabahn, I like to think Bera was horny about it before he actually met Raubahn - silly coliseum fantasies if a strong, charming warrior that stopped when he actually met him. Which is where the horny torch swaps to Raubahn 🤣
Throws Fell-First, Fell-Harder out of the way and asks the real question:

Who in your ship went Full Throttle Horny Thoughts About The Other(s) First?

#beraqotd #beralore For Bera, a tool. A warrior has an axe, and a mage has their magic, to put it simply.

There are schools of magic that draw power from faith. People make your magic feel like a gift or a curse. It can be studied like science.

It's a tool, and how it's used is what matters.
Inspired by Nint's question, I have a #wolqotd for anyone with spellcasting OCs, or OCs with ties to casting or casters.

Magic:
"Is a calling."
"Is a gift."
"Is a curse."
"Is a science."
"Is a tool."

They get to pick one. Which one is it, and why?
July 8, 2026 at 9:55 PM
Gonna stick a #beraqotd #beralore on here cause i know i'll want to look it up later,

But Raubahn, Botanist! I think it would be nice and calming for him, and I like to think he does the upkeep for parts of the Royal Menagerie.
For the NPC enjoyers, here's a question for you: For your non DoL/DoH favorites, which one(s) do you think they'd be best suited for? Or perhaps you think they should not be trusted with any of that?
July 2, 2026 at 9:31 PM
#beraqotd #beralore A few come to mind, but the two biggest are probably Lyngsath and Broenbhar.

Lyngsath, Bismark head chef, took a chance on Bera after sampling his cooking at the Wench, and changed Bera's life for the better. A mentor and friend, even if Bera doesn't work there anymore.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Is your wol / oc close to or good friends with any of the job npcs?
May 24, 2026 at 7:29 PM
#beraqotd #beralore ... man. This will be long. Named NPCs only, vaguely chronological order. Not too serious, but canon cause it's fun. Pre-ARR Bera is busy😂

#wolqotd i want the tea. tell me every NPC your wol has slept with

#beraqotd #beralore As of DT, a bit of an ass, full of himself and reliable friend.

The trick with Bera and Thancred is most of when he knows Thancred he's either at his worst or literally not himself. His first meeting is right after Ifrit, his second he's already Lahabrea.
May 15, 2026 at 1:41 AM
#beraqotd #beralore He does still keep in touch, although not quite as often as he would like. E-Sumi-Yan gets visits since Bera will always remember his first conjury teacher. And of course Baderon who helped him restart in Limsa, and Lyngsath who gave him a chance at the Bismark.
#wolqotd #ffxivqotd

Since Evercold is almost there, looking back from the time your WoL started their adventure. Does your WoL still remember the first people they've encountered during ARR? Do they sometimes keep in touch? Are they close to them? Rather, do they prefer to forget them?
May 14, 2026 at 4:10 PM
#beraqotd #beralore Arguably despite not wanting to join, Bera invited himself.

He found out the Amalj'aa's plans about Ifrit and knew he had the Echo, so when he saw Meteor fighting alone he couldn't stop himself from jumping in, the scions curious and suspicious of how he knew. (1/3)
Talking with my friends made me think of this #WoLQOTD!

How did the Scions pick up your WoL and scout them to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn? Who invited them and what made them invite them?
May 2, 2026 at 6:02 AM
#beraqotd #beralore Absolutely not. Like, he's very dangerous if he's motivated to be, but he almost never is, and normally when he is it's because you're messing with someone he cares about.

Of course people are like that about him too so maybe don't mess with him with his (boy)friends in earshot🤭
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Is your wol / oc considered dangerous or someone you shouldn’t mess with?
March 15, 2026 at 9:37 PM
#beraqotd #beralore Best option for a job as a young roe kicked out of Gridania. His main skills were botany, some combat abilities and healing by conjury, but being a complete unknown made healing harder to make a living on (and something he generally doesn't like charging for) so... adventuring.
What reason does your OC / Wol have for being an adventurer what got them to start adventurering

#beraqotd #beralore

Picking two because they're both big.

1) Against the scions after Innocence about how they've been treating Meteor since ARR (my man can hold a grudge)

2) Against Meteor after 6.0 because he chose Zenos and almost died at the end, a choice Bera just couldn't understand.
#wolqotd

What's the biggest argument your WoL/OC has had? Some sort of formation dispute about how to handle an attack? Maybe something with family? An order having pickles on it?

What brought them nearly to tears while trying to convey their viewpoint?

#beraqotd #beralore

Drys. Or Dryas, I suppose. From oak or tree as you might guess from the similarity to driads. I like the idea of him having a name of a simpler thing or object to contrast the legendary and godly names of the others - always a simple man mixed in with others destined for more.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

What was your WoL's Ancient name? What was your inspiration for it?
February 18, 2026 at 7:26 PM
#beraqotd #beralore Between the rough start to his adventuring life and every calamity thrown in his way, so namedays slowly became something to celebrate. A world where they can stay together, retired and peaceful becomes more reality then dream with each year.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

How does your wol / oc feel about getting older? If they aren’t affected by age, how do they feel about their friends / loved ones growing older?
February 4, 2026 at 1:31 AM
#beralore Proficiency chart for Bera! A Healing and magical focus with some scattered skills to reflect his all-rounder abilities. Some skills he searched out, some learned from friends.
February 1, 2026 at 2:47 AM
#beraqotd #beralore

...5.5? Outside of Bera, my other OCs mostly undesigned and unnamed:

- Head of the Retainer Guild, Bera's boss in 1.0
- Femroe Siren, Bera's first time and friend
- Arcadion OC, scientist turned fighter to continue his research on psychonekrosis being worried about Hector(1/4)
✨ #WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion ✨

How many WoL/OCs do you have?
February 1, 2026 at 2:15 AM
At last, the final chapter for the first meeting between Bera, Raubahn and Nanamo, Cooking with Flames Chapter 3!

Happy to have this one officially done.

#beraqotd #beralore He never really had a parental figure, the closest being E-Sumi-yan, so most of his early knowledge came from overhearing conversations between adventurers, eventually curiosity in books then tawdry novels, overhearing more working shifts at the Wench... then a Sanguine Siren.
#wolqotd #FFXIV I've seen so many beautiful pieces of how our WoL's love their partner(s)- both romantically and sexually. However I want to know /how/ they were taught. So! How did they learn about the birds and the bees? Knowledge? Parents? Experience? Let's be silly and/or spicy :3c

#beraqotd #beralore I had a longer post that bsky ate, so outside of his "brief" hatred of G'raha, Urianger and Thancred around ShB...

It's weirdly convienent the guy you hate for mostly work related reasons as Chefsbane is also responsible for the idiotic plan behind 2.55 - it's Lolorito.
#WoLQotD does your OC hate any canon character?
January 18, 2026 at 9:58 PM
Sticking a belated #beralore on here
January 15, 2026 at 4:21 PM
#beralore A bit late but related to LRP on Y'shtola, I do think part of it is also some of her first impression with Titan? Distancing and leaving dealing with the Company of Heroes to you does give the strong image of some tasks being beneath her.

#beraqotd #beralore

On a philosophical basis, I'd think being a healer puts him closer as aether as an aspect of 'identity' of a person so he's less concerned about the reconsititution parts. If it works, and teleporting is a more established part of their world then ours so it would feel normal.
The topic of transport got me curious so #wolqotd how does your WoL/OC feel about using aetherytes?

To explain: The process aethertravel consists of breaking down the physical body into aether particles through the teleport spell so it can flow through the stream and be tangible again upon arrival.
January 5, 2026 at 4:25 PM
#beraqotd #beralore Nowadays, he carves out some time for his loved ones. He'll host at home in Idyllshire but the where doesn't matter much, and you'll find him visiting Ala Mhigo if Raubahn is busy.

Day spent mostly cooking and baking, but Alisaie stops by early to help (and get food early)
✨ #WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion ✨

What would your WoL/OC be doing this festive Starlight season?
December 25, 2025 at 3:34 PM
Recent convo had me thinking about #beralore wise how to actually address Meteor and Ardbert looking well... like each other. It came up in the context of the joke "i need to get over my crush on that man *goes out with a guy almost exactly like him* yeah this will work"
