 However as she grew older, Petra became more and more restless and adventurous. The bustle nearby port town - and by extension the allure and false promises  of the sailors who would come and go - fueled her desire to leave her village, and that decision would put her at odds with the rest of her family. The night that she decided to leave Petra found herself in a heated argument with her parents, especially her mother. It ended with her being thrown out of her family’s home, and effectively disowned. Now truly free of the Green Word, her village, and most of her family, Petra at the age of twenty left for Eorzea with only Mydia coming to the docks to tearfully see her off.  However as she grew older, Petra became more and more restless and adventurous.

-After sailing for the better part of a week, Petra landed in Limsa Lominsa. Tired and now totally out of her depth after being abandoned at the docks by the sailor she’d been enamored with, she was lost in a new and unfamiliar city.  Luckily she had been spotted by a kind Miqo’te girl who helped her get set up with an inn room, and introduced her to Baderon at the Drowning Wench. Grateful, and in Viera city name fashion, Petra took the girl’s name Lanbattal as her own. +After sailing for nearly two weeks, Petra landed in Limsa Lominsa.

 Taking up her lyre and singing in inns to make enough gil to survive on, Petra was quickly scouted and recruited by the The Order of the Twin Adder as part of an initiative to revive their languishing ranks of Bards. This eventually sent her to the Cartenau Flats and the activation of her Echo as she witnessed the fall of Dalamud and the emergence of Bahamut. Wrestling with her suddenly newfound and, at the time, overwhelming new ability to master languages, Petra spent the next five years adventuring and further honing her skills.  Taking up her lyre and singing in inns to make enough gil to survive on, Petra was quickly scouted and recruited by the The Order of the Twin Adder as part of an initiative to revive their languishing ranks of Bards.

Taking after his father, Silvain is dutiful and wishes to help create a better Ishgard for the future.

     * Petra's second son, and 5 years younger than Silvain. Adventurous like his mother, he trained in multiple classes and jobs before eventually settling on Red Mage - though he is also a talented Sage in the off chance a healer is needed. Once he's old enough to travel with his own adventurer's party, he chooses to do so and continues his mother's legacy of monster slaying and good deeds. Kieran doesn't visit home in Ishgard very often but when he does he's welcomed by his parents and brother with open arms.      * Petra's second son, and 5 years younger than Silvain.

   * Petra first began as a Miqo'te named Pyha Lanbattal, and made to look like a siamese cat. Once the free trial was over, Pyha was Fantasia'd and name changed into Petra. She didn't change much physically. At this point Pyha and Petra became separate characters, and Pyha was kept in Petra's lore as the helpful girl she took her last name from in Limsa.    * Petra first began as a Miqo'te named Pyha Lanbattal, and made to look like a siamese cat.
