hunter of beasts

Taught under the guidance of her mother, Nicnevin is a slayer of beasts and aberrations. Ashkin, voidsent and everything in-between, she has employed her services as a monster hunter as she's journeyed abroad.

exile and wanderer

Forced on the run from her homeland, Nicnevin has taken up residence in Radz-at-Han for the last few years. Wanderlust has driven her to explore the lands of the Far East and Eorzea, meeting many individuals along the way, perhaps your character was one of them!

in search of knowledge lost

Nicnevin is determined to restore her people to their former glory; with this in mind, she searches for her own family's lost swordsmithing techniques and any information on the order of aether swordsmen that were annihilated by the empire, seeking for a way to revive them.

blades of the wolf

Blades stamped with the sigil of the wolf are of Lykos make and particularly valuable due to the nature of their creation. Perhaps your character has come across one on their travels, or you're looking to have one crafted.

deep under iron rule

A life under Garlean rule within the subjugated realm of Corvos has left Nicnevin particularly hostile toward Garleans and any who once swore allegiance to the now fallen empire. Those who might have known her from these days may recognize her as a former conscript, and a particular bounty placed by the Empire for the murder of an Imperial officer.

NOTORIETY » Swordmages and swordsmiths, including an off-branch under Ravenna's line of monster hunting.SUMMARY » The Lykos family dates back for at least a thousand years; a family of mages that took up the sword over the staff, and forged blades that not only stood the test of time, but were enchanted and crafted with reagents that could enhance the spells of its user. Stamped with the sigil of the wolf, these blades were once common among Corvosi markets, but the arrival of the Empire had the Lykos redirect their focus to the Corvosian Resistance and its fight against their imperial oppressors.Now, Lykos blades are few and far between and those that have been crafted have either been destroyed or sold on the black market. As a significant number of Lykos were once part of the order of aether swordsmen that fell to the Empire, not many Lykos remain, and those that do are in hiding.
