Profile
Upon meeting this Hyur, you could be forgiven for thinking that the woman is hewn from stone. She seems the archetypal Ala Mhigan; austere. Proud. Inscrutable. Standing taller than most and possessing a penetrating stare, she has a reputation for intensity.Known as 'Bryn' by friends and 'Preacher' by those who find themselves the subject of her impromptu corrective sermons, this Free Paladin travels the Star in service of the Twelve and their teachings.Ever one to keep her cards close to her chest, the Highlander is slow to open up to others. But beneath the shield of her stoicism is a heart moved by the suffering of the world; that of a woman who has dedicated her life to righting the wrongs of her past.
'Creation begets destruction, and naught exists which cannot be sundered.’

And that someone will be Brynhilde.♦ Plate-clad Preacher – Brynhilde is a devout believer in the Twelve and their teachings. She can often be found in the religious places of Eorzea; praying and delivering sermons, giving alms and healing to the poor, and participating in pilgrimage.♦ Return of the Red – Through long study of materials discovered in the Ziggurat in the Peaks, Brynhilde is seeking to understand the art of the Red Mages. She seeks to blend their techniques with her own mastery of the sword and shield, creating a new discipline; the 'Red Knight'.
