I love love thinking about Ishgard and just, the difficulty they have for loving something that actively hurts them; they have been embroiled in this war against the dragons they don't have any other way to be and everything is always justified, and that would seep down into every single value. Heavensward has such good worldbuilding in that regard (I've been reading through and doing the sidequests on Estelline and it's so fulfilling to revisit, it's the same undertone of brooding melancholy in many of them that got me the first time).
Prih is barely holding it together but is doing her best anyway, what Estelline does not know at this point is how much on the edge of feeling like giving up she is... she learns later, though :) she is a small supernova fr. I also love thinking of the WoL inspiring others and Prih fulfils that role for her soooo so so much.
Thank you so much for your compliments though, I am glad you liked it/enjoyed it 💜
