 introduction  Born into a common family in the city of Ishgard, getting by was relatively hard without being from one of the high houses. Luckily for Erlan, he was born into a family of chiruregons, so he too took up the role of healing. Given the war, the work handed itself to him. To better himself and his healing art, he studied for some time in Old sharlayan before returning back to his home to administer his findings. what he founded was the art of astrology and the art of a sage. both he had studied and mastered; however, astrologian proved challenging. not in the sense one would think--but rather the politics of the city of ishgard. healing with astrology was seen as heresy. he dropped the art socially, but in secret congregated with the astrologians of ishgard to form and master the art of succor. For the wounded, he administered prognosis via his pendulums.After years of gruesome war he witnessed, and saved those of its affects, did he quit Ishgard to settle in the Dravanian forelands in a small village called Tailfeather. He grew tired of the ceaseless war, and over time saw the conflict to pertain more than what was let on. He would provide his remedies elsewhere--to the world--where it may be needed most. This diversion away from his family ostracized him. They called him traitor for abandoning his countrymen during their time of need. That as it may, Erlan felt there was more to the world than the politics of man and dragon in war. He would know more.He traveled here and there wherever a healer was needed. One day, Erlan chanced upon the Sunseeker H-tribe of the miqo'te peoples in search of supplies. There, he found an obscure sight--a hyuran boy not but seven summers old. Perplexed, he asked the tribe members how this boy came about. He was then told his mother discarded him in a merchant's crate after taking his left eye. what ripe misfortune. Something within Erlan felt a calling. On impulse, he offered to take the boy in. He hasn't been given the chance to see the world. His mind and soul are consumed by eternal blackness. His only solace be the crack of light in the horizon of destiny.He pitied the boy--saw part of himself within him. family... this he would nurture.

To live and eat in Tailfeather, hunting was vital.
