History

• Lieutenant Captain Sherral Maduin, Archadian Army, Ivalice
  
• Age 17 Age 19, upon his second entrance, and much more decorated, too!
  
• Can use offensive spells fueled by Mist - Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder - required during basic training
  
• Used to be at war with Rozarria

Impressions

• Threat Level: LOW - While Sherral has considerable power, I doubt he would attack me at this present time
  
• Came in with Mist sickness from the Salikawood - thought he was mad and coughed blood!
  
• Held some stone when he first entered?
  
• Mist - Magical energy in its unprocessed form, gaseous
  
• Was in the Battle of Nabudis, caught in a Mist storm which wiped out his troop
  
• Mist-animated corpses
  
• Required to attend the Consul's morale and diplomatic events
  
• Stationed in Dalmasca's capital, Rabanastre; patrols the Westersand
  
• "Dalmasca is completely desert, although the Giza Plains go through rainy periods where plant life grows and there is heavy flooding"
  
• Comes from a conquered territory to the north, Lock Galles - cold and mountainous
  
• Wanted to present me as a suitor for the Rozarrian ambassador's daughter - honestly!
  
• "When we sought peace [with Dalmasca], one of the king's senior knights assassinated him, and his only heir committed suicide shortly thereafter"
  
• Occupying Dalmasca until they can set up their own government - huh
  
• Trade and the supply of food are fairly good
  
• Why he joined the military: "I have about seven younger siblings who need to be fed, and I'm good at killing things, essentially."
  
• At the end of time, a great dragon breaks free from his prison and devours the universe
  
• Quickenings: A technique for drawing in the Mist around yourself and expelling it as a focused attack. Each person who learns it yields a different spell
  
• Judge Magisters are expected to learn three, anyone can learn them
  
• "It's like a really big magical sneeze"
  
• Brought bottled Mist!
  
• Has about 120 men
  
• "Status and hierarchy are pretty important to Rozarrians"
  
• Bhujerban and Rozarrian soldiers staying at the Rabanastre barracks
  
• Grew holy- and thunder-aligned swords from magicite crystals from elementals
  
• Feeding the crystals Mist - magicite is magic in a solid, crystalline form, whereas Mist is its gaseous form
  
• "Magicite is used for nearly everything, from indoor lighting to airships. But most of it isn't very high quality, so it yields less magic. Most swords that use it only embed small chips into the blade. They'd have magic of their own."
  
• Magicite - very hard, and can recharge itself based on ambient Mist
  
• "If you use it enough, the amount you can store increases," or 'levelling up' as it is known outside Ivalice"
  
• The Holy sword has Hastega spells carved into it (blue runes) and a bone handle - it looks like it's carved out of a glowing diamond!
  
• Holy Magicite has the biggest energy output - took about a year to grow
  
• Some Judge Magisters channel their Quickenings through their weapons
  
• Wanted to pass me off as an Archadian noble who gets drunk and carouses - yes, please, but only to the first bit!
  
• Wearing an I Care About This Alot garment at the Winter Krampus party
  
• Was in a room full of yarn, and then automatons - neat!
  
• Paired with Eric for the Krampus abduction
  
• His Excellency Lord Vayne Solidor had an assassination attempt on him - An attack in force by the Insurgency made just enough confusion to cover it
  
• The insurgents used a refined magicite dust to draw in monsters from the Garamsythe Waterway and the desert
  
• Lord Vayne - "He's very shrewd. Charismatic. Fine in battle. ... the Emperor's son."
  
• When Emperor Gramis dies (age 63), the next emperor shall be appointed by the Senate, the Judge Magisters, and the consuls of Archadian territories
  
• 65 new men on the way, half from the Archadian's Navy Submariners' Corp
  
• Was a dog for Halloween - how silly!
  
• Original company - two-hundred men, eighty chocobos, two dogs
  
• "In total, the garrison stood at one and a half thousand men. It will be nearly two-thousand when the new troops arrive."
  
• Only takes a month to cross the span of a continent in an airship!
  
• Heading to the Nam-Yensa Sandsea to investigate the airship Leviathan's crash, with a Judge Magister on it no less
  
• Nam-Yensa and Ogir-Yensa Sandseas are jagd, places with too much Mist - note: Sherral looked awfully uncomfortable when relating this, I wonder why?
  
• Did futher training at the Akademy, in central Archadia
  
• Might become a Judge Magister someday! - Needs to be a Judge Third Class first
  
• Reading the military record of a new Consul - who he's reluctant to talk about, why?
  
• Lord Vayne has been recalled to Archades, in less than favourable circumstances
  
• Found the Leviathan and blew it up - hahaha

Weaknesses

• Running out of Mist?

Scabs

• Who are the Kiltia?
  
• What was the stone he was holding?
  
• What were the circumstances under which Lord Vayne was recalled?
  
• Did he ever find that downed airship? Yes!

Opportunities

• Has offered to let me go to Rabanastre! Would I fit in there?
