I have a lot of thoughts about B'alith's training as a deathworker and how that intersects with Dawntrail's whole deal and I've barely even begun to put any of it into words. Agh.
September 22, 2026 at 5:34 AM
A lot of the Dawntrail patch dialog is hitting this discordant note for me. B'alith is a deathworker, an ordained priest of Nald'thal who's devoted his life to honoring that sacred moment of transition; Solution Nine and Living Memory are an insult to everything he holds sacred and he is LIVID.
#wolqotd Has there ever been a stand out moment in game where there was something said/assumption made to your wol/oc that is fitting to the base the wol should be that was just laughably wrong? Not just “they wouldn’t say that” but “you would NEVER say that about them”

Fun from deathworker chillout: chatting bondage with the chaplain before more folks showed up.

We contain multitudes.

He *would* have wanted to attend the funeral for Sphene, but it's because he is first and foremost a deathworker and a student of mourning traditions. Not because he "felt responsible for her demise" or anything.

Some of this is knowledge gained through his work as a thaumaturge, as well. He was primarily a deathworker before getting involved with the Scions, which sometimes involved investigating how someone died if there was a need for it.

Neither of them are strangers to grief, a deathworker and a healer, both of them irrevocably shaped by their experiences with the Calamity. Zhai'a was at Carteneau; B'alith was in Ul'dah, tending to the seemingly endless number of dead (including his brother, which was how he learned of his death).

Platner talks about his time as a deathworker from the POV that he, and other soldiers, was a fundamentally good/decent tool which was MISUSED by evil people who don't believe enough in (white European) ideals.

That he was STABBED IN THE BACK by corrupt, decadent, soft, urban officials.

The back half of 7.0 and a lot of the patch content has also been a serious test of his faith as a deathworker and a priest of Nald'thal. Living Memory is an affront to everything he holds sacred; it's hard for him to hold onto the philosophy that there is no wrong way to grieve now.

A grief group has sprung out of the deathworker group. Cross pollination is happening. But also: it feels like the work you've done is replicating itself. You may not see it, but it's rippling out there. (can't shake the image of a fractal)

Lyla has several professions. She's an arcane scholar, crafter, deathworker, apothecary, botanist, Hearer, healer, and more.
#WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion

Does your WoL/oc have a profession outside of being a Scion?

Sukemori is a doctor and surgeon (and serial killer unbeknownst to most people who know him, Scions included.)

*stares at the camera in deathworker AND caregiver*
The new covid vax restrictions have "raised concerns among Americans who came to rely on annual shots, including the children of elderly parents, caregivers to the medically vulnerable and people who want to avoid the risk of long covid."

If coronavirus vaccines are restricted to seniors and those at high risk, parents of young children and relatives of medically vulnerable people face a higher bar for shots.

LV has always been keen that our flyers be art as well as an information. She designs the front as a mini poster.

We always use recycled paper stock. And we use riso printing for both eco & aesthetic reasons.

People send us pics of our flyers in their homes & work spaces

actually can't think too hard about a strange little deathworker meeting death himself I might also pass out and hit my head

There's some tiny part of her that viscerally reacts negatively to blood in some contexts, but Lyla'd say she's pretty desensitized to it

She's a healer, warrior, mage, deathworker, menstruator, etc who encounters blood very regularly and is used to it as something that's part of her jobs and life
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

Is your wol / oc bothered by the sight of blood at all? Why or why not?
September 13, 2025 at 12:24 AM
I love deathworker humor

Lyla has many, including:
- Fateweaver (for fate-changing)
- Voidslayer (voidsent-slaying)
- Sorcerous Mage (her custom mage job)
- Starlit Spinner (for being a nocturnal WVR & AST)
- Shroud Keeper (being a deathworker + Black Shroud Keeper & keeper)
- Warrior of Moonlight (preferred to WoLaD)

What title does your OC have?

Like a royal title, or perhaps a title given to them by others.

Soup! D'artagnan and Egg are beautifully realised. There's so much dimension to them and I especially enjoy the deathworker lore you share with us

Lyla feels similarly about it as she does the Amaurot & Elpis she visits, but Living Memory isn't as self-sustaining

A simulacrum isn't the same as the original ensouled, but even if it was, Lyla's a deathworker who perceives spirits & Sends souls. It doesn't matter what they are

#7.0spoilers
#wolqotd #7.0spoilers How does your WoL/OC feel about Living Memory? Do they see the Endless as truly being the person they were in life, or just an imitation?

Lyla Sylvie the Fateweaver, Sorcerous Mage, Warrior of Moonlight, etc ✨

She's a Black Shroud Moon Keeper who's a deathworker, Hearer, healer, apothecary, & more

Lyla's a deathworker & grief is something she's now actually able to take her own advice about

Lyla famously hates being vulnerable (physically or emotionally) & has detrimentally isolated herself before, but one of the biggest things that helps her with grief is not being alone w/ it
