Wolfram Saga Comics

This is the script for a future comic. Posting for those who don’t want to wait to get the story. Numbers indicate frame number.

Part 1

Wolfram in the Lotus Stand with Kan-E-Senna. Kan-E smiles “You have done the people of Eorzea a fine service this day, and I would not put you to further trouble. I shall see that my reply reaches the Admiral anon.”

Zoomed out shot

Kan-E smiles “I thank you for coming. May the Twelve see you safe to Ul'dah and beyond.” Wolf smiles “Thank you Seedseer. It was nice to see you again.” Thought ‘If only I could find comfort in faith.’

He leaves, walking towards the residential area. Thought ‘Surely this isn't so urgent I can't take a nap.’

Wolf enters his apartment. Looking around smiling “Been a while…”

Zoomed out shot of apartment as Wolf walks to the bed

Wolf laying on bed on his back, smiling “Rhun wasn't kidding about cleaning. This is nice.”

A) Wolf closes his eyes, smiling. B) Wolf opens his eyes, straight face.

A spectral version of his 27 year old self (in sleep clothes) is huddled on the other side of the bed, quietly crying. Whispers “I miss him so much… I ruined everything.”

A) Real Wolf lays on his side, closing his eyes, amused, mutters “Gods was I pathetic.” B) Wolf opens his eyes, annoyed at not being able to sleep. He looks over at -

Spectral Wolf (in conjury robes) standing in the middle of the room yelling at a wand “WORK GODSDAMN YOU! MAKE WIND OR WATER. DO SOMETHING!”

The wand sparks with dark magic, Spectral Wolf looks horrified “Not that! Never again.”

A) Close up ghostly hands grasping the wand B) snaps the wand

Spectral Wolf leaning against wall with head in hand, sobbing “Yes, I know it's not the wand. It's me. You don't have to point it out, arsehole.” “Why can't you just leave me alone?! I had to lie to him because of you.” “Yes I did!”

Real Wolf, sad, sighs “The hellhound sure was loud back then…before I learned to quiet it.”

A) Wolf closes eyes, frowning sadly B) Wolf opens eyes frustrated

Spectral Wolf (half undressed) passed out drunk at the foot of the bed, sitting on floor with head on mattress, liquor bottle rolling out of his hand

Real Wolf walking to the door, exhausted frown “Now I remember why I avoid Gridania. Guess I'd better go face my fears.” “As if fighting a voidsent and passing out in front of Merlwyb wasn't bad enough.”

Part 2

Raubahn holding coffee cup at the table in his apartment (Same apartment from 13 years ago. Almost nothing has changed), using linkshell, smiling “Hopefully these movements mean naught, yet you are wise to stay vigilant. Is there aught else to report?”

Rau leaning back, laughing “Oh gods! No I do not want to meet some farmer in Gridania. I do not care how kind he was.”

Rau leans forward resting is chin on his hand, grinning in amusement “Pray continue to focus on your duties, not matchmaking.” “Aye, I'll speak with you later, Pipin.”

Rau smiling, looking over towards the kitchen but camera focused on him. Thought ‘Ah, the lad means well. He doesn't understand the demands my position places on me.’

Spectral 27 year old Wolfram cooking in the kitchen. Spectral 32 year old Rau standing behind him kissing his cheek.

Real Rau smiles. Thought ‘Odd that I'd think about him right now…’

Rau walking away from the residential area, wearing his armor. Frowning. Thought ‘I wonder how he's doing… if he's alive.’

Walking further, down an alley in Pearl Lane, Rau glances at the corner. Spectral Wolf and Rau kissing.

Raubahn smiles sadly as he passes, turning toward the market. Thought ‘He's got to be alive. If what he went through didn't kill him, nothing would… not even a bloody calamity.’

Part 3

Wolfram standing in the airship area, tucking his flask into his pocket. Nervous smile. Thought ‘Well, I'm back…”

Wolf exiting the elevator, nervous, takes a deep breath. Thought ‘Surely he wouldn't still be upset... right?’ ‘He's so accomplished. A living legend. He couldn't possibly be angry at his ex from over a decade ago…right?’

Wolf walking out into the street. Thought ‘Anyroad, I'm an envoy of the Admiral. Even if he were, he wouldn't have me arrested… right?’

A) Close up of face but he's walking on the main road. Worried look. Thought ‘What if…what if he doesn't even remember me?’ B) Looks hurt and a bit scared.

Wolf walking into the Hall of Flames. An unusually tall blond Viera in a lieutenant uniform is talking to the trader at the desk.

Bran turns as Wolf walks up to him. Wolf addresses him with a big fake smile “You look important. Can you get a message to your General? It's from Merlwyb.”

A) Bran beams brightly “I am! Very important! Well, a lieutenant. I'm important to myself and that's what matters. I’d be happy to deliver it to him for you.” B) Wolf smiles awkwardly ”Uh, thanks.” Thought ‘This guy sure has pep... I have to get out of here.’

Raubahn walks in as Wolf disappears in a concealing cloud of aether. Rau surprised.

A) Close up shot. Rau looks left. B) Rau looks right.

Rau amused “I must assume we were just robbed?” Bran laughs, walking over to him “No, don't worry. It was just an odd and unnecessarily attractive envoy. They had a message for you from Admiral Bloefhiswyn.”

A) Rau chuckles, taking the message “Ah, so I trust you scared them off with an unexpected advance?” B) Bran shrugs “I'd like to take the credit, yet they seemed a bit on edge already. Hopefully that doesn't indicate a gloomy message.”

Rau straight face “Aye, our city is still recovering. I trust if it were urgent she would have called my linkshell.” Bran smiles “Oh, surely nothing like that. Everything will work out. Always does.” Rau “I pray you're correct. I'll open it with Eline. Stop by my office later, Lieutenant Thorvald.”

Guest of Honor - Comic Script

A Realm Reborn - lvl 14

Wolfram is invited to a banquet and is treated to an Echo vision he actually enjoys!

Wolfram Saga Comics

This is the script for a future comic. Posting for those who don’t want to wait to get the story. Numbers indicate frame number.

Shot of Admiral’s party. (From cutscene.) Narrator “After Wolfram uncovered the Sea Reaver’s plot and saved Swiftperch, Admiral Bloefhiswin invited him to a banquet as her honored guest.”

Wolfram talking to Merlwyb. Merlwyb smiling “I'm pleased to see you were the adventurer who saved the day! I suppose I should have known, as the reported state of our enemy's corpses matched those you'd dispatched for me before.”

A) Wolf winks “Oh, don't flatter me so. I simply know my way around a fireball.” B) Merlwyb laughs “And a rapier. Twas good luck, given the foe.”

A) Merlwyb nods “Limsa Lominsa is lucky to have you. And you have my thanks.” B) Wolf smirks “This banquet is a pleasant change from the usual pocket of gil delivered by your henchmen.”

Zoomed out, Merlwyb objecting “Oh shush! The thalassocracy thanks you for *all* your service, but this was far more serious than the odd job I throw yer way.” Wolf “How so?”

A) Merlwyb explains “The pirates you killed - they worshipped the primal Leviathan. They sought to kidnap others to forcefully serve the Sahagain’s god.” B) Wolf frowns “That's awful! Bad enough so many Sahagain are enthralled but to actively kidnap Lominsan citizens is a worrying development.

A) Wolf hopeful “Is there no way to save them? The enthralled Sahagain? That would ensure the safety of your citizens as well. Other than the land disputes, which could be negotiated.” B) Y’Shtola glancing over, curious. >ear twitch< Thought ‘Did he just express pity towards *beastmen*? Fascinating.’

Zoomed out, Y’Shtola walking over. Merlwyb - “Save? I need not tell you the depth of the animosity between us and the Sahagin. How any seaman worth his salt could devote himself to the fishbacks’ god is a question for a more temperate mind than mine.”

Y’Shtola standing with them. Wolfram frowns - “Let us not devolve into that sort of language Merlwyb, please. I know you have your reasons to hate them, but I’ve met enough Sahagin to know they aren’t all monsters. Regardless, what those enthralled were doing needed to be stopped.”

Merlwyb smirks “I suppose I cannot fault that bleeding ‘eart of yours. It saved many this day. As for now - thanks to you, our citizens may once more go about their daily lives, safe in the knowledge that they will not be dragged into the darkness by those execrable curs.”

A) Wolf chuckles, “Anytime, your Admiralship.” a glow comes from his pocket. B) Wolf takes a crystal out of his pocket, confused.

A) Merlwyb surprised “By the Navigator!” B) Y’shtola excited “This…is one of the Crystals of Light!” 

A) Wolf chuckles “Aptly named. I’m not sure why I’ve been carrying it around… You know what the blasted thing is?” B) YShtola pondering “After our encounter with the goobbue, you had a vision, did you not? Of a towering crystal?”

Wolf, putting the crystal back in his pocket “Aye, that I did.” Thought ‘Blessedly different than the ones the damned voidsent shows me.’

A) Y’Shtola smiles “You batherd in Her Light…” Wolf, off frame “Light?” B) Merlwyb smiles “Y’shtola’s conclusion is clear, and I see no reason to doubt it. You are the vessel of a higher power.”

Wolf frowns, defensive “H-how did you know? What does that have to do with the crystal?” Thought ‘A hellhound has no use for it…’

A) Merlwyb explains “This… being from your vision was the Mothercrystal. Your description matches what little we know of Her.” B) She smiles “And if She has chosen you, then your deeds may yet shape the fate of nations.”

Wolf forces a smile “Ah. How wonderful.” Panicked thought ‘THE FUCK?! I now have two entities inside of me?! That can't be possible - surely such light would destroy a voidsent. And I still feel the bastard, even through the ale.’ 

Merylwyb smiles “Aye, As once did the deed of the Warriors of Light. Know you the tale? Like you, they were not of these lands, yet they fought to protect us all ‘gainst the corruption of the primals.” Wolf comedicly trying to cover up “Ah, so they were also Gridanian?”

A) Merlwyb smirks “Gridanian?! Is *that* what you tell people? You know, I happen to be good friends with one of your countrymen.” B/C) Yshtola frowns, pondering. Looks from one to the other.

A) Wolf awkward smile “Ah. A friend?” Thought ‘Why had I not put that together… she knows Rau. Of course, they’d be friends!’ B) Merlwyb annoyed “Indeed. Simply friends! Those rumors were utter hogwash started by one of his political rivals. The man is an eternal bachelor and he doesn't even -”

A) She smiles awkwardly. Thought ‘Oh gods stop rambling about the ‘ol Bull.’ B) Wolf beams “He is?! I thought by now he would have found some-”

Merlwyb and Y’Shtola confused. Merlwyb thought 'Does this adventurer know General Aldynn?'

A) Wolf, awkward, hand on his head, >sweatdrop< “Sorry, I meant” *cough* “-please, continue your tale of the Warriors of Light.”

Merlwyb amused “Well… when the Garlean Empire began its conquest of the realm, these heroes joined the Grand Companies, and helped reforge the Eorzean Alliance.”

Zoomed out. She continues explaining “And at the Battle of Carteneau, they took the field beneath our banners, to fight for everything we hold dear. It was on that day, in the midst of that hell… that we lost them.” 

A) (small frame) Wolf concerned. B) (large frame) Personal flashback to Wolfram outside Mor Dhona as he watches the moon crack open.

Merlwyb somber “Every soul who survived that battle will never forget how it was to fight beside them. We are proud to call them our comrades. Yet, whenever we try to shout their names, the sound dies in our throats. And whenever we strain to see their faces with our mind’s eye, naught but their shadows appear to us, set against a blinding light. Ask any true Eorzean who knew them, and the story will be the same. It is for this reason that we call them ‘the Warriors of Light.”

A) Wolf frowns. Thought ‘I must have arrived too late to see them. Or been too busy to notice.’ B) Flashback Wolf healing an injured soldier.

A) Merlwyb smiles “When I look upon you, I cannot help but be reminded of them.” B) Wolf shocked. 

A) Wolf bursts out laughing “Me?! Like a Warrior of Light?!” B) Laughing, covering his mouth as tears run down his cheeks.

Merlwyb eyebrow raise “Take my words to heart or not - but keep that crystal safe. In time, I believe the Mothercrystal will make clear Her reasons for bestowing it upon you. Heed well Her words, Wolfram. For it is Hydaelyn Herself who speaks.”

A) Wolf smirks, wiping his eye “Well this party certainly has taken a mystical turn. I didn’t know you lot were so -” B) He grabs his head, pained expression, echo vision effect.

Screenies from the echo vision at Carteneau. Zoom out of the state leaders.

A) Close-ups of Raubahn yelling on linkpearl B) Rau not wanting to withdraw.

Wolf wakes up in his apartment on the couch, lying on his side. 

A) Doky smile, blushing red. “So commanding…” B) Wolf smirks, flushed. Thought ‘I’m beginning to think you aren’t behind these visions after all. Why would you show me Cartenau focused on Rau when he’s so…’

Wolf sitting up. Dark thought “So stressed? Being an arsehole to his subordinates? Stubbornly hesitant to withdraw while his men die?” Wolf blushes and smiles dreamily. “So hot. So incredibly hot.”

Wolf stands, smiles sadly, resting his hand over where his tattoo is and looking out the window. “Gods... how I miss that man.”

WolfBahn Ship Summary - Part 1

Prequel

I realized the comics are... a lot. So I decided to make a short summary of my Wolfram x Raubahn ship. As I started to write I realized it was also... a lot. So clearly WolfBahn is simply... a lot. Eh, this is still way less to read than the comics, enjoy.

Warnings - imperfect neurodivergent protagonist, voidsent, domestic argument that turned a teeny tiny bit physical

Ul'dah

Wolfram Vought and Raubahn Aldynn met 15 years before A Realm Reborn at ages 25/29 in Thanalan. Wolfram (A recently reformed bandit, Gyr Abanian refugee, and the future Warrior of Light) wanted gladiator training as he was accustomed to a rapier. Raubahn, a gladiator (for the guild, not a prisoner), just thought he was trying to pick him up after a tourney. They ended up talking and hit it off almost instantly, bonding over being from the same country, shared interests, and good ol' fashioned Garlean hatred. After hours of walking around Ul'dah conversing, Rau had given up on his assumption that Wolf was interested in him romantically but was happy to have a new friend. Demisexual Wolfram just needed a bit of time to get to know him and surprised Raubahn with a kiss after they had talked all night. Wolfram decided to stay in Ul'dah, but not as a gladiator. He became a cook at the Quicksand.

They fell in love unnaturally quickly and lived together happily for 2 years. Raubahn appreciated Wolf's sincerity, sense of humor, and being non-judgemental and supportive. He even enjoyed his empathic abilities. Wolfram loved how the gladiator could keep him grounded, admired his heroic nature, that he helped him calm down during panic attacks, and generally made him feel safe (the dude has trauma™). They were great friends as well as partners. Wolfram taught Raubahn how to cook. Raubahn taught Wolfram more fighting techniques. They enjoyed sparring and fighting monsters. Exploring together. They’d a whole future planned out. Wolfram was going to propose they be eternally bonded, but couldn't in good conscience until he told Raubahn about his past. One night, after a horrible nightmare, he confessed. 

6 years prior, the Decurio who led the small group of Garleans occupying his village requested Wolfram’s young sister’s hand in marriage in exchange for going easier on the family’s inn. He overheard his parents considering the offer. Wolf had been secretly studying his grandmother’s tomes on void magic and in his anger summoned a hellhound. Something went wrong and the voidsent that arrived was far more powerful than he could control. It possessed him and forced him to watch as it transformed, using his body to not only kill the Garleans but his whole village, including his family. His Mhachi grandmother did a ritual to bind it before her death, saying it was still within him and he would have to control his emotions to keep it imprisoned. (He didn't mention to Rau that the voidsent often talked to him.) Wolf then fled to The Black Shroud and became a bandit while adjusting to his new reality.

Raubahn was shocked but kept his poker face and asked for some details. Wolf admitted to killing several other bandits who he thought were a threat but insisted he only robbed rich travelers. After a few years, he had gotten control over the hellhound and wanted a more stable life, so he moved to Ul’dah. He said he was so glad when he met Raubahn because the gladiator was able to calm him down when the voidsent was causing him to panic and so clearly a good person that maybe he could help Wolf become good too.

Raubahn was horrified at his partner's actions and the fact that he'd lied and put him in danger for the entirety of their relationship, but even more so that Wolfram refused to accept responsibility for his own decisions and insisted on blaming the Garleans. As if all that wasn’t bad enough, he had robbed and murdered people he didn’t need to. Rau questioned if Wolf actually cared for him or if it was a selfish love born from wanting to be taught ‘goodness’. Wolfram seemed to have changed now - but could Raubahn ever be sure? Could he ever trust the man who would do those things and refuse to accept the guilt for them? The conversation got away from them both. Wolfram was defensive, panicked, and pushy. Raubahn was angry at Wolf’s insistence on his innocence, downplaying what he did. The gladiator tried to walk out, Wolf tried to stop him, Rau shoved him away then left, telling him if he ever saw him again he’d have him arrested. Raubahn quickly calmed down and returned to apologize but Wolf had already gone. They wouldn't speak for many years.

The Shroud

Wolfram traveled back to the Black Shroud and quickly acknowledged to himself that Raubahn had been right about everything. He would have immediately apologized and accepted the guilt, but he was terrified of going to jail if Rau made good on his threat. In part, because it didn’t sound like a pleasant experience, but also because he could be made to fight in the Bloodsands and was worried about what would happen if he lost control of the hellhound in a crowded coliseum in the middle of a large city. After a month-long bender (in which he realized alcohol would quiet the voidsent’s voice) Wolfram decided to join the Conjurer's Guild to learn to heal and become a better person on his own. Raubahn was right about that too - it had been selfish to expect the love of someone to fix him. Besides, white magic would become useful for something he had to take care of if he ever made it back to Gyr Abania.

Red Magic

After 6 years Wolfram heard that Raubahn had bought the Coliseum, joined the Syndicate, and reformed the Immortal Flames. The conjurer gathered the courage to head to Thanalan to offer his services to the Flames - hopefully winning Raubahn's forgiveness. On the way, he ran into a fellow Gyr Abanian named X'Rhun Tia. The miqo'te had a unique fighting style that combined magic with a rapier. They got along well and X’Rhun offered to train Wolfram in red magic. Wolf couldn't pass up the opportunity, deciding he'd been a fool to believe he could return to Ul'dah anyway.

Calamity

For the next 3 years, Wolfram trained with X’Rhun, quickly mastering Red Magic and helping his friend find more apprentices to teach. Then came the 7th Umbral Calamity. Wolfram was away in Kugane at the time but once word reached that the Eorzean Alliance would be fighting Garleans at Carteneu he teleported himself to the South Shroud and rushed to make it to the battle in time. He was almost there when the moon cracked open. Wolf couldn’t help but watch as fire rained from the sky. Once it was over, he saw from afar that Raubahn had survived. He couldn’t bring himself to approach the General, but knowing he was safe was enough. Wolfram quickly started aiding the injured soldiers. He healed many before the Echo visions of the dying overwhelmed him.

The next 5 years were spent in well-masked anxiety - assuming that the voidsent had gained the ability to show Wolfram nightmares while he was awake. Something he didn’t tell a soul. Helping victims of the calamity as a member of the Adventurer’s Guild was a nice distraction. He didn’t make much gil but it was enough to buy a small apartment in Limsa Lominsa. In all that time Wolf kept tabs on Raubahn (easily, he was famous after all). Wolfram's love never faded, but he learned to live with the pain and focus on helping others as a way to make amends for his past. He was so resolved to not even date that it often worried his best friend and roommate Rhun. 

Raubahn had been busy in those 13 years, but everyone knows his story. He adopted his son Pipin. He became a wealthy politician and military commander. He did *try* dating, but didn't find anyone he could see a future with. As his political power rose so did the rumors. Simply dancing with his friend Merlwyb at an event had sparked gossip and accusations of collusion. He gave up on public relationships completely after joining the Syndicate for fear of what the Monetarists would do to any partner of his. The General did have a few casual lovers who respected his need for discretion but his focus was on leading the city he’d come to truly call home. Raubahn often found himself wondering if Wolfram was still alive but couldn't track the former bandit down due to his penchant for using an alias.

Part 2 - A Realm Reborn

WolfBahn Ship Summary - Part 2

A Realm Reborn

Part 1 - Prequel I realized the comics are... a lot. So I decided to make a short summary of my Wolfram x Raubahn ship. As I started to write I realized it was also... a lot. So clearly WolfBahn is simply... a lot. Eh, this is still way less to read than the comics, enjoy.

13 years after Wolfram and Raubahn had broken up, Wolf knew full well that he was still in love and would never move on. Frequently hearing news about the famous Flame General of Ul'dah probably hadn't helped matters. He'd made a sort of peace with it and was living as an adventurer in Limsa Lominsa, helping others in order to atone for his past. He and his friend X’Rhun Tia, trained red mages on the rare occasion they had an apprentice. Otherwise, Wolfram's time was usually spent working for the guild or doing odd jobs for the Admiral to pay the bills while Rhun traveled.

During one such job, Wolf stumbled upon a plot by the Serpent Reaver pirates to kidnap people and have them enthralled by the Sahagain god Leviathan. After saving the day, Admiral Merlwyb threw a banquet with the adventurer as her honored guest. It was here that Wolf revealed a crystal he had found to the city leader and his new acquaintance Y’Shtola. They talked about the Warriors of Light that had helped during the Calamity. He was told he held a Crystal of Light and was the vessel of a higher power. Once getting some clarification Wolfram burst out laughing. Obviously, someone tainted like him wouldn't be chosen by a powerful and benevolent goddess. Despite his skepticism, Y'Shtola invited him to meet with the leader of her organization.

After meeting Minfillia, he was relieved to learn about the Echo - it meant the voidsent hadn't been getting stronger as it had claimed. Wolfram joined the Scions to study his mysterious power and help people on a larger scale. However, he couldn't deny that another motivation for joining the was to potentially see his ex-partner again (without the threat of jail, given the Scions' political standing). Having an Echo vision of Carteneau was honestly a bit too much Raubahn for Wolfram to shake off.

Wolf spent some time getting to know his new allies whilst aiding Limsa Lominsa and Gridania. Then he found himself in Thanalan face to face with the primal Ifrit and only had a brief moment to question why he wasn't being tempered before having to fight for his life. He made it out but many of the Immortal Flames weren't so lucky. He lamented not being strong enough to protect them. While thrilled and terrified at the idea - he would apologize to their leader in person.

Wolfram entered Ul'dah for the first time in over a decade. He attended a speech Flame General Aldynn was giving. Instead of the fear he assumed would invade his thoughts - Wolf felt nothing but pride in how far the gladiator had come. His cheers were the loudest.

Raubahn noticed Wolfram in the crowd and hardly believed his eyes. He had spent years lamenting his actions, trying to move on but plagued with regrets and wondering if his former love had survived the Calamity. Even if he’d betrayed his trust, the gladiator didn’t want him dead. Finally, he knew - Wolfram was alive and well! After he was done addressing the Ul'dahn citizens he walked up to Wolf, doing his best to hide a smile, and asked if the adventurer would like a private meeting.

The General had a busy schedule but they had a few moments to speak before his next obligation. Neither could hide their happiness to see each other again. Wolf even teased Rau a bit for being surprised that Wolf hadn’t wondered about him, forgetting that he was famous. Raubahn didn't blame Wolfram for his soldiers Ifrit had taken and was impressed that the man he used to know as a simple cook had defeated a primal. He extended an invitation to join his Grand Company and Wolfram said he would be happy to join the Immortal Flames. The gladiator was relieved to know the mage was alive and well after so long wondering. Their reunion felt wonderfully strange to both of them - any awkwardness was overshadowed by their pure joy. 

After returning to the Waking Sands to give Minfilia his report, Wolf went back to Ul'dah the next day to formally join the Grand Company. Raubahn had the day off but wanted to give Wolfram a tour of the headquarters. A new recruit receiving a tour from the General himself drew notice, but most assumed it was because he'd bested Ifrit. However, those who knew him best noted an odd change in their leader’s demeanor. Wolfram and Raubahn did some proper catching up, with Rau asking the mage what he’d been up to since he’d left Ul’dah. After hearing his journey of self-improvement, Raubahn told Wolf that he would have been happy to see him earlier and that his threat had been an empty one born from anger. Wolfram told the gladiator about his new life devoted to aiding others and was surprised to receive praise for the efforts he'd made to become a better person. Unfortunately due to some miscommunication and false assumptions about the other's preference, they ended up agreeing to keep things professional and not let anyone know about their past, despite them each secretly wishing to be friends. 

For most of the events of ARR they were coworkers who occasionally fell out of formality accidentally - like when Livia raided the Waking Sands and everyone thought the Scions were dead. Raubahn couldn't hide his relief when Wolf walked into the Alliance’s meeting to discuss the Black Wolf’s ultimatum. Merlwyb even teased Raubahn in private later for the most she'd ever seen him smile in a single sitting. Whenever someone caught on to their familiarity they admitted only that they had been friends years ago but asked that the information not be spread. The Monetarists were enough of a problem already and would absolutely use it to accuse the Scions of favoring the Royalists.

Things started to change between them the night before their attack on Castrum Meridianum. Raubahn took Wolfram aside to speak privately. He hesitantly asked if the mage had enough control over the voidsent to go into a building full of Garleans. Wolf was offended, assuming Rau was worried he would hurt the other Flames. He swore he would end his own life if he felt his control slipping rather than endanger anyone else. The General explained that's not what he meant - he didn't want Wolfram to risk himself and ordered him to flee the battle if he became panicked as he had occasionally in the past. The mage was furious at the suggestion and repeated back word for word something cruel that Raubahn had said to him when they broke up. The gladiator was horrified that those hateful words said in anger had stayed with Wolf all those years and started apologizing in an uncharacteristic panic, stating that if anything he said made Wolf not value his own life he was sorry and didn't mean any of it. Wolfram calmed down and explained that he was just bothered by the hypocrisy of suggesting he take such cowardly action by someone who’d called him selfish. He told the General that his harsh words were the catalyst that had set him on the path of atonement. If he was the hero people claimed him to be - it was because of Raubahn. While tense, that night helped resolve a bit of the pain from their past they were holding onto, helping them move forward and finally become more casual with each other.

WolfBahn Ship Summary - Part 3

A Realm Reborn - Patches

Part 2 - A Realm Reborn I realized the comics are... a lot. So I decided to make a short summary of my Wolfram x Raubahn ship. As I started to write I realized it was also... a lot. So clearly WolfBahn is simply... a lot. Eh, this is still way less to read than the comics, enjoy.

After defeating Gaius van Baelsar and helping the Scions set up the Rising Stones, Wolf turned his focus to the conflict in Ul'dah. He often found himself worried about how Raubahn was handling everything given how awful his political opponents were. After a particularly upsetting Syndicate meeting about the Doman refugees, Wolfram decided to throw away professionalism and asked his former partner on a treasure hunt in the Cieldalaes in the hopes of lifting his spirits. The General was surprised by the invite almost as much as having someone express care for his emotional well-being. It was an increasingly rare occurrence to be treated as a person instead of a legend. 

Fighting together on Hullbreaker Isle without thought for alliances or politics Wolfram and Raubahn fell back into familiarity with ease. The thrill of adventure for its own sake was a treat for them both. Between battles they were able to talk openly and quickly felt themselves becoming confidants. The alliance continued after returning to the mainland - often discussing things that they probably shouldn't have like the Warrior of Light revealing everything the Scions were up to and the General discussing Ul’dahn political strategy. Wolf even tried to convince him to invade Gyr Abania, but was receptive to Raubahn’s concerns. Despite the disagreement, the gladiator enjoyed being around someone who reminded him of his younger self and helped re-ignite his passion to pursue his goal of freeing Ala Mhigo with more urgency. 

Their budding friendship wasn’t always easy. Wolf often had to keep his feelings in check, like the jealousy he felt when he learned Ilberd and Raubahn had grown up together but had never mentioned him and (after using his empathic abilities) that Raubahn still harbored complicated feelings about the Crystal Braves captain. He had to remind himself that his ex-partner’s past was none of his business. Nor was his present. Wolfram was lucky to be in his life at all.

The General was as unaware of Wolfram’s affection as much as his own growing romantic attachment. Intentionally unaware. Forgiveness was one thing but there was an amount of denial when it came to Raubahn acknowledging he cared deeply for someone who had lied to him. He paid little notice to just how often the Warrior of Light’s responsibilities seemed to take him to Thanalan over the other city-states. Still, Rau couldn’t deny the little spark of joy he felt on the occasions Wolf was in town - even if it was to simply share a meal while discussing their respective factions.

After The Ivy's betrayal was revealed, Wolfram stayed behind to talk with Raubahn, knowing he'd just lost one of his best friends and would be more upset than he appeared. The mage explained that he'd used his empathic echo on her before and while at the time he didn’t know why - she had been conflicted. Eline did truly care for Raubahn and the betrayal hadn't been personal. The General took comfort in knowing that their friendship at least had been real but asked in frustration if he was naive. If no one was who they claimed. This was hardly the first betrayal he’d faced. Wolfram felt horrible for being among that number and realized it was time to properly apologize for his own deception that had been a catalyst in the end of their relationship. Rau tried to stop him, stating that he meant in his career but the mage carried on. He assured Raubahn that he'd changed and could be trusted. Wolf promised Rau that he would never deceive him again. If he wanted - he had a friend in him. The gladiator was amused that Wolfram would question if they were friends. Raubahn laughed and gave the Warrior of Light a hug, pointing out that he'd trusted him enough to follow him into the countryside without armor. They were *officially* friends again!

That night, Raubahn thought about the fact that the Warrior of Light neglected his duties to comfort him and apologized for their past as well. Despite everything the Scions asked, Eorzea’s Champion had put the gladiator first. He thought back to their hug - how comfortable and… complete he’d felt in that moment. Raubahn finally acknowledged to himself that he still loved Wolfram. The General *of course* wouldn't tell him that. He was still struggling with his pride and assumed his affection was one-sided besides.

From then on they talked more frequently. Raubahn even made an excuse about joint training with the Crystal Braves in order to visit Wolf in Mor Dhona as he was recovering from fighting Nael van Darnus. The gladiator also aided in the fight with Bahamut since Midgarsormr had removed Wolfram's Blessing of Ligh. When they were in battle together they fell into sync perfectly. In those brief moments, they felt like true partners again.

ARR ends with the events of the Bloody Banquet. It was almost as traumatic for Wolfram as it was for Raubahn. He was stopped before he could heal the Sultana, bound, and drug to the banquet to be framed for her murder. All he could do was hope that everyone would trust him enough to not believe it... and then all hell broke loose. Wolf tried to get out of his bonds to help the General fight so he struggled until his wrists bled. Without the Blessing of Light he was helpless to do anything but watch as Raubahn was maimed. Wolfram cried out, begging Ilberd to spare his friend and promising that he would confess to any crime they wanted to pin on him, fully expecting to be executed. Fortunately, Raubahn came to his senses and freed him. He left on orders to help the Scions but promised he'd be back. Along the way, Wolf watched with horror as his newfound family forced him to continue on as they sacrificed themselves to aid in his escape.

Once Wolf reunited with Alphinaud he wanted to go back into the city to help whoever had been captured. He was in such an emotional state after everything that he would have likely died trying to fight all the Brass Blades himself. To stop him from returning to Ul’dah Pipin had to knock him out and throw him in the carriage. The mage woke up in Camp Dragonhead with aching wrists and the voidsent cruelly taunting him, quickly blaming himself for everything that had just happened. Wolfram vowed to kill Lolorito and Illberd at the first chance he had.

Masking - Comic Script

Prequel - Age 16

A look into Wolfram's life as a teenager and interactions with his family. I'm hoping people get the many subtexts in this one cuz I'm tired of thought bubbles. 😂

Wolfram Saga Comics

This is the script for a future comic. Posting for those who don’t want to wait to get the story. Numbers indicate frame number.

Teenage Wolfram and Klaus walking around the ruins of Schism. Wolf looking unamused. Klaus talking excitedly “- and her parents taught her to weave! You should have seen her shawl. The embroidery was -” Note - ‘Wolfram Age 16 Burdened Eldest Brother’ ‘Klaus Age 15 Carefree Younger Brother’

Wolf annoyed “*Really?!* Are girls all you think about these days? The business is failing, that bastard king destroyed the very place we walk, there are rumors of Garleans at the Western borders, our sister's run off again, and your mind travels to the new neighbor?”

A) Klaus frowns “Come now, Wolf. It's not as if there's anything I can do about those other things.” B) Wolf looks over, hurt frown “You could show others how angry I know you are so I'm not alone.”

Klaus smiles sadly and puts a hand on Wolf’s back in comfort “What's the point in showing anger? If this is really about Grandpa, I miss him too. I wasn't there, but there was nothing you could have done for him.” Wolf sighs in defeat “Funny, I'm the one with the gift, but it's as if you're reading me. It was his time. I know I couldn't save him…my mind knows anyroad.”

A) Klaus smiles “Well have your mind tell your body to stop moping about and sleeping all day, yeah?” B) Wolf embarrassed, defensive “I'm just tired is all. I have to work more than you since I'm not worth teaching. Worry about your studies, not me.”

A) Wolf smiles, deflecting “Anyroad, tell me about the Roegadyn girl.” Thought ‘Perhaps if I smile enough they'll all stop asking if I'm okay.’ B) Klaus beams “Ah! Well she's sooo tall and pretty. I saw her light a torch and she didn't even need a ladder!”

Wolf laughs “Really?! That's what you're into? A gal who can tower over you?” Klaus smug “Nothing wrong with appreciating someone for their strengths… in her case both figurative and literal.”

A) Klaus smiles encouragingly - "You'll understand when you have a girlfriend." B) Wolf smirks, chuckling - "I don't want a girlfriend."

Klaus elbows him, laughing - "Or a boyfriend. You know what I meant." Wolf scoffs - "I don't want one of those either. Everyone around here is so boring."

A) Klaus pouts - "Well I think Falling Blossom is interesting." B) Wolf smirks - "I'm sure she is. Good luck with your courting or whatever." Thought ‘Sounds perfectly normal - boring.’

A) Klaus looks off, stars in eyes "I bet she’d have to pick me up to kiss.” B) Wolf snorts “I wouldn't suggest saying that to her. Compliment her actions - the things she got to choose.”

Klaus glances at Wolf curiously "What do you know about woo-ing women? Have you even kissed anyone yet?"

A) Wolf scoffs matter-of-factly "No. If everyone around here is boring why would I want to kiss them?" B) Klaus confused "Well, you know…because they're pretty? Or handsome. Whatever."

Wolf shrugs “A person simply having good looks doesn't make me interested. If you have an idea to change that I'd hear it. Dad’s already said he's worried about me…and then told me a bunch of other things I have no use for.”

Klaus ponders "You're just… odd. Maybe it works in reverse for you? If you kiss someone first you'll start to like them? What about trying with inn guests? There are often travelers our age and it won't be awkward since they’ll leave.”

Wolf ponders "Worth a try. I suppose it makes sense… I didn't like mushrooms until you snuck them into those flatbread the other day." Klaus chuckles "Aye, it's exactly like that."

Zoomed out shot as they're almost to the main area. Off camera shriek. They run.

Young girl facing a large Spector. 

She dodges an attack.

A) Little fist colliding with the Spector’s face. B) Spector fading .

Ana smirks proudly “That arsehole snuck up on me while I was playing with its friend. Coward. So, is dinner ready then?” Note - 'Ana - Age 9 - Rowdy Little Sister'

Klaus chuckles, a hand on his chakram belt. “Language, miss.” Wolf holding his sword, looking serious. He was just ready for battle. “Hells, let's get out of here. Your cry will have drawn more. Without magic we won't be able to fight them all.”

Wolf picks Ana up, looking at her in amusement - “I'm not sure this is what Mum meant when she was explaining the importance of the spirits here finding rest.” Ana grinning “I'm quicker than waiting on some ol’ geezer to light incense or what-have-you.”

Wolf walking out giving Ana a piggyback ride. Klaus dusting off her shoulder, smiling - “So, warrior priestess, after dinner I'll read you an extra story while Wolf does the dishes if you promise not to tell our parents we let you fight the dead.” Ana grins “I want a story from Wolfie! He makes them up just for me!” Wolf grins “Fine, but no more gladiator stories. I'm clearly being a bad influence.” Thought ‘Gods, I just want to sleep.’

Wolf, putting his cocobo in the stable outside the mist apartments.

Wolf, entering the lobby, chatting with the attendant.

A) Wolf, exhausted “Good evening, Loetfryn. Hope your day was better than mine.” B) Loetfryn grinning “I'm sure it was, adventurer. You look like shite. What kicked yer arse today, Wolfram?”

A) Wolf smirks “Pirates, what else?” B) Loetfryn taunts “Well, you'll be glad to know yer keeper is back.”

A) Wolf rolls his eyes “Haha that joke never gets old - or becomes accurate. Wrong clan for starters.” B) Wolf smiles “He has returned though?”

A) Loetfryn nods “Aye, ‘bout two bells ago. Lookin’ almost as bad as you do.” B) Wolf smirks, responding smugly “Well your ma says I'm a handsome lad and that's all that matters to me.”

A) Loetfryn chuckles “She only says that so you'll cook for her, Loezwilf!”. B) Wolf chuckles “I'm not short you blind fool!”

Wolf gestures to himself, smugly “I'll remind you this is an exceptional height for a hyur.” Loetfryn chuckles “Ah, that reminds me. Ma knitted yeh another sweater. Reckon she fancied those kebabs the other night.”

Wolf walking towards the hall entrance, camera at his back, waving goodbye “Funny you should mention that! Come by after your shift - I’m making an extra pot of stew for you to bring her. Should clear up that cough. Suppose you can have some as well!”

X’Rhun Tia laying on couch in the apartment reading a book. Zoomed out shot.

The mi'qote sits up as Wolf greets him off frame - “Rhun!” B) Rhun smiles “Ah, I wondered where you were. Off on a job, I trust?”

Wolf rushing over to couch. Rhun surprised.

A) Wolf picks up Rhun and hugs him, beaming. B) Rhun laughs “I wasn't gone that long!”

Zoomed out shot of apartment, Wolf spinning Rhun. W - “Longer than usual!” R - “Alright, that's enough, giant. You may put me down now.”

Wolf and Rhun sitting on the couch. Wolf curious “So - did you find us a new apprentice? Surely someone in that godsdamned forest wanted to do magic without worrying about those flighty Elementals.” Rhun shrugs “Not a one, I'm afraid.”

A) Wolf frowns “Damn, it's been a while. What… six moons since Bright Song went on her way?” B) Rhun thinks “Aye, just about. I do miss her.”

A) Wolf winks “I bet you do. She still answers your calls between adventures. That's something.” B) Rhun scoffs, light blush “Oh stop that. She was merely a student. Anyroad, I'm beginning to think I should try Thanalan again.”

A) Rhun curious “Did you wrap up that job? …You could join me there. You were willing to risk it 8 years ago.” B) Wolf sighs sadly, looking away “Rhun, you know I can't. That was a moment of foolishness. Luckily I met you before I made it to Ul'dah.”

Wolf ponders “Besides, I'm not certain this job is over. There's something not adding up. I mean - it's definitely pirates, but I think there's more to it.” Dark Thought “Of course there is. And you're too dumb to see it.” Rhun curious “Oh? What do you mean? Is there something I can do to help?”

A) Wolf smiles “Nah, your work is more important. Can't have our people's history die out. Thank you though.” B) Wolf ponders “So - During the job I met a strange mi’qote woman. I believe she has information I want…”

A) Rhun grins teasingly “Oh? Was she pretty?” B) Wolf chuckles. “Oh stop with that. I suppose - objectively yes, but you know I don't think of people the same way you do. Anyroad - “

A) Wolf explains - “I was more interested in her power level. I could practically *feel* the aether radiating around her.” B) Wolf curious “She was easily as strong as you or I. More even. And she spoke so cryptically… Most importantly - I couldn't read her emotions. She must have very advanced mental wards.”

A) Rhun smirks, raised eyebrow “Ah - so a mystery woman to keep you from joining me in the land the famous Flame General commands?” B) Wolf, annoyed “I said drop it Rhun.” Dark Thought - ‘He's right. You're a coward. It's been 13 years. Your gladiator won't even remember you.’

Wolf stands up, heading towards the kitchen. Camera facing him, straight face “I'm making stew. Have you eaten yet?” Dark Thought ‘20 years later and you're still just that scared boy who begged for my help. Can't even risk yourself to aid your oldest friend.’

A) Rhun frowns in concern “I'm sorry. I didn't realize my jests would bother you so.” B) Wolf sighs “No, I'm just tired, Rhun. It's been a long day. Confusing…”

Wolf at counter, putting a pot on the stove. Rhun half way there. R - “Well, I'm sorry nonetheless. Perhaps one day you'll move on but I shouldn't try to force you. I'll travel to Ul'dah alone.” W - “Thanks Rhun… but also -”

A) Wolf smiles earnestly “If you get into any trouble you would call my linkshell, right? You know Asuna would get me to you before the enemy took a single slash of your rapier.” B) Rhun smiles “Of course I would. Thank you, Wolf.”

Wolf taking a vegetable out of the basket, speaking smugly “Anyroad, if anyone is worth risking an Ul'dah prison for it's my best friend.” Rhun laughs “Well let us hope it does not come to that.”

Zoomed out shot. Wolf chopping vegetables. Rhun leaning against the counter talking. “And then to top it all off one of those blasted yarzon tried to make a meal of me. I don't know how you tolerated living there.” Wolf chuckles “The conjury lessons were worth all the mud.” Rhun continues “At least your apartment was comfortable - once I had thoroughly dusted.”

Two pots of stew boiling, Wolf stirring one. Rhun setting the table. Loetfryn at the door waving. “Alright, where's me grub?” Wolf looking at door as he stirs “There's the scallywag!” Rhun looking at door “Welcome, Loetfryn! Will your darling mother be joining us?”

Coming to Ishgard - Comic Script

Heavensward - lvl 50

Wolfram is having a hard time dealing with the events of the Bloody Banquet as he, Alphinaud, and Tataru arrive in Ishgard.

My Comics in Chronological Order

This is the script for a future comic. Posting for those who don’t want to wait to get the story. Numbers indicate frame number.

CW - alcoholism, mentions of violent event

Part 1

Wolf pacing around his room at the Fortemps manor. Frustrated. Narrator - "Wolfram, the Warrior of Light, has fled Ul'dah after the events of the Bloody Banquet. He's found sanctuary in Ishgard along with Tataru and Alphinaud. Not knowing the fate of his Scion friends or General Raubahn has been difficult for him."

Wolf frustrated. Thought - "Damnit why am I here? I could just go to Thanalan by myself." Dark Thought - "That's a great idea! Without her blessing you'll finally get the death you crave!"

Wolf snarls and picks up a bottle of alcohol - "Oh shut the fuck up you evil bastard. I don't have to listen to this! I can take on the Brass Blades and Crystal Braves alone."

Wolf ponders comically - "Well ok, not all of them. But if I pick them off while they're alone…maybe poison their ale barrel or pay off their cook." 

Wolf drinks from the bottle. Dark Thought - "Really? You'll go back to being a murderer simply because a few of them were in on the assassination of one spoiled royal?"

Wolf sneers - "Don't talk about her that way. She's different from the others, and besides, his arm is all the reason I need. They're getting off easy. For Nanamo and the Scions I should make it slow and painful…" Dark Thought - "Oh brilliant you've finally lost touch with reality. About damned time. My work is done. You'll go in there, get yourself killed, and then it will be my turn to take over!"

A) Alphinaud sitting on a couch in the main room, reading. Loud *THUD*. B) Alphi turns his head, shocked.

Alphi walking into Wolf's room - "Wolf are you alright?! What was -"

Wolf trying to pull his hand out of the wall. Looks at Alphi in surprise.

Alphi raises eyebrow - "I see… dislocate your wrist and it will come out more easily. I shall pop it back into place and heal the cuts after." Thought - 'He's a mess…'

Wolf looking down guiltily. "Thanks *hic* Alphi. How you knowwa do thish?" Thought - 'Damn I should have… locked door… but quiet now…so quiet…need sleep…stupid wall.'

Alphi sighs - "You've met my sister. Believe it or not she has calmed down over the years. Especially once mother started making her work off the cost of the plaster repairs." Thought - 'I know this is my fault but I need his help…I can't do this alone.'

Wolf's hand is out of the wall. He's sitting on a chair looking at his hand while Alphi channels.

Alphi closes his book as Wolf flexes his fingers. Alphi sighs - "That should do it."

A) Wolf burps - "Thanks Klaus." B) Alphi confused - "What did you-"

Wolf lays back against the headboard with a thud.

Alphi kneels down looking Wolf in the eyes very worried - "I am so sorry, Wolfram. Truly. I know this is all my fault. Our friends could be captured or worse. And what this is doing to you…"

Wolf looks at Alphi with pity - "No lad it's - *hic* - not your fault! Is mine. I made a foolissh mistake."

A) Alphi confused - "A mistake?" B) Wolf nods - "I used my heart not my head and Ilberd he… I was distracted. I'm so ssorry."

Alphi confused - "Your heart what - Wait… did you *love* Ilberd?! Is that why you didn't use your empathy on him?"

A) Wolf laughs. B) He wipes a tear from his eye as he finishes laughing - "No lad - I've only ever loved one person and it was mosst schertainly not - *hic* - Ilberd Feare."

A) Alphi crosses his arms - "Fine then. Why did you not read him?" B) Wolf embarrassed - "I did…many times. Jus not the times I needed to. I focussed my gift on the wrong person…"

Alphi pondering - "Oh, well - if you can only read one at a time I hardly think it's your fault."

Wolf shrugs - "Ah well if you knew why I… no no, is ssecret. Anyroad when I did read Ilberd he wass always so full of anger. I should have told someone. I just thought he was angry abou our homeland. I didn't know how he felt about Rau…"

Alphi smiles sadly as he gestures at Wolf - "I suppose your gift must be hard to interpret. You need not take all the blame. Certainly not enough to do this to yourself." 

A) Wolf looks around at the bottles. Surprised - "Ooh this?! No. Noooo. I jus needed it to be quiet. I'm so tired and it wouldn't stop." B) Alphi WTF face - "Wolfram you're not making any -"

A) Wolf passed out, snoring. B) Alphi worried. Thought - 'I can't keep covering for him… I'd better ask Tataru for help. '

Part 2

Tataru and Wolf walking around Ishgard. Wolf holding a banister with one hand and his head with the other. Tataru - "That's right. Walk it off big man. We'll get you some coffee as well."

Wolf laughs - "Yes ma'am. *hic*" Thought - 'Hells, this is humiliating.'

Tataru stern look - "Don't you ma'am me! Shame on you for making Alphinaud worry so. Now - are you going to tell me what this is about?"

Wolf worried - "Aye, I am ashamed. I didn't realize I bothered him. As for my behavior… certainly the cause is obvious."

Tataru WTF face - "It most certainly is not! We've all been through the same ordeal. Yet this reaction is unique to you." Thought - 'This is more than worry over our friends…could he be in love with one of them?!'

A) Wolf smiles sadly, stopping and leaning on the rail - "Aye…but neither of you were there. You didn't see it." B) Tataru nods - "That is true. Alright then, let's rest here while you tell me about what troubles you. The cool air will serve you well anyroad."

Wolf sitting on the ground. Tataru standing next to him. Tataru pondering, thought - 'He spends the most time with Thancred… yet he seems the least likely given how much he enjoys the company of women. Minfilia perhaps?'

A) Wolf looking sad - "Tataru, I had to watch as they sacrificed themselves for me. So that I may escape. I was following orders and in doing so neglected the most important thing - I was supposed to protect them.' B) Tataru facepalms - "Wolf, what makes you think they needed your protection?" Thought - 'Although Min is so much younger than him. As is Yda. Wolf doesn't seem the type.'

A) Wolf confused - "I'm the Warrior of Light aren't I? And besides… I care for the Scions deeply. I want to protect you all." B) Tataru smiles kindly - "Surely you know by now what capable fighters they each are. Do you really think so little of them that they couldn't handle some city guards?" Thought - '... I've noticed he avoids Papaylmo, besides surely the size difference alone would rule him out.'

Wolf shrugs - "I suppose you're correct. I do indeed admire their abilities. Yet if that's the case - would they not have contacted us by now?" Tataru thinks - "I know not - yet what is important is that they live. I'm sure of it! We must be patient and stay composed so that we are ready to aid them if necessary."

A) Wolf blushes guiltily - "Alright…your logic is sound. I suppose I knew as much myself but thought that was the most obvious thing to focus my worries on. The other I fear would…make me appear weak. I feel foolish even thinking about it with all the brutal things I've seen …and done." B) Tataru smiles and touches his shoulder in a comforting gesture - "I promise to not think any less of you. Go on." Thought - 'I suppose that just leaves Y'Shtola and the General. He certainly spends a lot of time with his old friend. They're a more suitable match physically as well.'

A) Wolf starts tearing up - "Tataru what they did to that poor lass. Right in front of me. She was so young. And Rau… I can't get it out of my head. I close my eyes and I just keep seeing it. All of that blood… His arm on the ground… Ilberd standing over him gloating." B) Tataru smiles sadly. Thought - 'Ah, there it is. Interesting…'

A) She gives him a hug. B) Tataru pulls back and smiles - "I understand now. Thank you for explaining it to me. I'm so sorry for what you're going through."

A) She beams - "I assure you - He is alive and Pipin is hard at work finding out where he's being held. I'm sure once he's rescued these gruesome memories will start to fade." B) Wolf smiles, wiping a tear from his eye - "Thank you my friend. I feel a bit lighter after getting that out. I'm sorry for my behavior."

A) Wolf looks away, embarrassed - "I'll apologize to Alphinaud as well. I feel awful knowing I caused the lad further distress. He's far too young for…well, all of this." B) They hug, smiling. Tataru - "We'll get through this, together. But first - let's get you that coffee."

Wolfram's Bio Carrd

Linktree for Other Socials

[xiv-wolfram]

Saw this on Twitter and thought it was cool, so I answered them for Wolfram. 😁

1. Favorite Vegetable - Cauliflower. Specifically roasted, fried, or in curries. 😋

2. How many blankets on bed? - One, which he will hog if it's cold.

3. Do they know how to set a table? - He worked at inns, so yes, but also that's really dependant on culture so he would probably adjust depending on where he was and ask questions if he didn't know.

4. If they had to dye their hair another color, what would it be? - Something unnatural - maybe teal or deep purple? But he prefers his natural black hair.

5. Generally how much would they tip at a restaurant? - As long as they didn't do anything majorly wrong? 20% minimum every time.

6. What gas station food do they buy for themselves? - Flaming Hot Cheetos and coconut water.

7. What gas station food do they buy for someone else? - Whatever they ask for? I bet Raubahn likes beef jerky.

8. Least Favorite Smell - Burning flesh, it's kind of a lesser trigger. 😅🥹

9. Is there something distinct about their teeth? - Other than the miracle that they're all still intact? No.

10. What pyramid scheme are they most likely to fall for? - None, he's naturally pretty suspicious of that kind of thing. If someone was begging on the street without needing the money he would definitely fall for that.

11. Favorite Soup - Chili (fight me!) 😈

12. Least Favorite Instrument - Does not exist, he loves music. Favorite is guitar.

13. They buy 5 things at the grocery store. What are they? - Chicken thighs, tomatoes, onions, chilis, garam masala.

14. What temperature so they keep their thermostat at? - IRL would be 69 (winter, laughing as he sets it), 72 (summer). Raubahn turns it up when he's not looking though. 😂

15. In what order do they get dressed? [socks, underwear, pants] - Underwear, shirt, pants, socks, jacket, weapons. ⚔️

16. Favorite Tree - 😏 After that NSFW shoot I have to say Palm trees...

17. Are they good at wrapping presents? - Does putting it in a cute bag count?

18. Do they have any food allergies, or the cilantro gene? - No allergies but he does suffer from the cilantro gene. 😔

19. How do they kiss? [Chaste, too much tongue.] - I guess he's a bit of a lip sucker/nibbler? Often giving forehead, neck, and shoulder kisses as well. Also why is this on the list? 😳

20. How do they handle an awkward moment in front of others? - Cracks a joke, trying to lighten the mood. It is often inappropriate and completely backfires. 😅

21. What is the gross habit they have but no one knows about? - Doesn't sweep up clipped nails. 🤷‍♀️

22. Would they be able to parallel park? - Yes, eventually, but a bit stressful so he avoids it.

23. What is a niche YouTube genre they would enjoy? [asmr, mukbang, etc] - He'd definatley be addicted to recipe videos. Notifications enabled for Epicurious. 👨‍🍳

24. If they were going to make fun of someone, what would it be for? - He's very sarcastic, so just about anything. He likes teasing Raubahn and knows how to make him blush so will often whisper things to him before he has to give a speech. Very amused watching his husband trying to collect his thoughts while addressing a crowd. 🤭

25. Favorite Swear Word - Fuck 👍

26. Least Favorite Book - He doesn't read much. Uh... I guess that old Mhachi tome he read to summon the voidsent that killed his family? 😅🥹

27. An aspect they do not like about their partner but love them anyway for? - Sometimes Rau talks down about himself, which Wolf hates to hear since he disagrees but tries to listen anyway so he can give him some words of affirmation after. 😌

28. Favorite Jewelry - RINGS. He wears multiple on each hand. Good thing he's not a pugilist like his mom was. 🤜

29. Least Favorite Texture/Fabric - That really scratch weaved wool. Also, burlap. 😬

30. If you could describe them only using kinds of fast food what would they be? - I don't know what this means... A burger and fries? 🍔🍟

Blame - Comic Script

Patch 2.55

Wolfram has a moment for reflection after the Bloody Banquet.

Catch up on my WoL Comics (Chronological List)

This is the script for a future comic. Posting for those who don’t want to wait to get the story. Numbers indicate frame number. Numbers indicate frame number. A or B followed by ) is for a split frame.

TW: alcoholism, depression

They're back in Dragonhead. Wolf passed out on a bed. Alphi leaning against the wall looking miserable. Thought - "It's all my fault…how could I have been so naïve."

Wolf wakes with a start and yells angrily - "LEAVE HIM ALONE ILBERD!" 

A) Wolf looking around B) annoyed, covers eyes with hand - "Godsdamnit". 

Alphi shocked - "... W-Welcome back. How are you feeling? You took quite a blow to the head."

Wolf confused "I did? …I remember Rau's son finding us. The rest is a blur."

Alphi looks uncomfortable - "Well you um… you refused to leave. You bade me continue on. Then you drew your weapon and started back towards Ul'dah, ranting about how you were going to start an arms collection…were you referring to weaponry?"

Wolf furrows brow - "I was likely being literal. How did I come to be here? What news of the other Scions."

Alphi looks away, turning red - "We still have no word on our friends. As for you - Flame Marshall Tarupin leapt up and knocked you out with his sword hilt then drug you into the carriage. He said to calm you down once you woke and that he would find out where General Raubahn is being held. Then we met Cid, who delivered us here."

Wolf turning red and looking away, embarrassed - "Seven hells…" Thought - 'I finally meet the lad and end up making a fool of myself. Impressive feat though.'

Alphi confused "Pardon me?!" Thought - 'He doesn't seem quite himself…'

Wolf embarrassed, holding his hand to his head - "I had just pictured meeting Pipin under different circumstances is all." Dark Thought - 'It doesn't matter what he thinks of you. You're just a friend of his father's and lower rank officer in the Flames. What matters is massacring Ilberd, the Crystal Braves, the Brass Blades, and the Monetarists. In fact - do away with all of that wretched city. I'd be happy to help. Perhaps then he'll forgive you for failing him like that? Before I take his other arm, that is!'

Wolf hangs his head and pinches the bridge of his nose, looking worried - "Alphinaud, I need a stiff drink. I've heard the Ishgardians like their brandy - would you see if Haurchefant has a bottle and bring it here?" Dark Thought - 'Aw, you've tired of me so soon?'

Alphi concerned - "Is that wise right now." Thought - 'He's only just regained consciousness after several hours.'

Wolf grins bitterly - "It matters not, we have you if 'wisdom' is required, don't we?" Dark Thought - 'How cruel! You can't wound Ilberd so you sting this poor lad with your words!'

A) Alphinaud looks shocked and wounded. B) Alphi looks away sadly - "I suppose I deserved that."

Alphi leaving room.

Wolf leans back against the headboard, looking sad. Thought - 'That was indeed unkind. I don't know what came over me.' Dark Thought - 'I do. That was typical Wolfram - you cause a big mess and want to blame everyone but yourself for it. Almost twenty years later and you haven’t changed a bit.'

Wolf stares at the ceiling looking miserable eyes tearing - "It is my fault isn't it?" Dark thought - "After all, whose advice did Raubahn ask for? Who was it that brought Ilberd back into his life?"

Wolf covering mouth, looking at wall, eyes wide, a few tears fall. Dark Thought - 'Who sensed something was off about him yet said nothing? You knew how angry he was. You brushed it off as wanting vengeance for Ala Mhigo. You squandered your empathic gift when it would have saved them. Instead of focusing on how Ilberd's emotions changed near Raubahn to determine the cause, you were panicking when you sensed how Raubahn felt about him. Letting your mind run like a jealous fool.' ' Wolf - "I did this… I did this…"

Tears fall down Wolf's face. Dark Thought - 'You had so many opportunities to stop it all. The Scions value your opinion for some reason. You could have voiced your concerns. Instead you wanted to encourage Alphinaud. Why? Because he reminds you of your poor dead brother? Pathetic.'

Wolf brings his knees up to his chest and covers his face with a hand. Dark Thought - 'You ignored the warnings. You were too slow to save the Sultana. You abandoned Raubahn to fight off Ilberd alone. You let all your friends sacrifice themselves just to get you out. What are the chances they survived? Lolorito would have taken your beloved General alive to keep the Flames in line, but clearly he wants the Scions out of the picture.'

Wolf leans forward, burying his head in his arms crossed resting on his knees. Dark Thought - 'You reunited with the love of your life, gained his friendship, then got him horribly maimed. He'll never forgive you for this. If the Scions live they'll blame you as well. If they keep you around it will be simply as their weapon. Still more than you deserve. You found a new family and got them killed just like the first one.' Wolf - "Please just stop…please…" Sobbing noises.

Wolf sobbing noises. Alphi returns with a bottle. Concerned -  "W-Wolfram? Are you alright? Does your head hurt that badly?"

Wolf looks at Alphi, tears falling down his face, smiling sadly - "Aye, the bloody thing is killing me. This should help though." Dark Thought - 'Farewell for now. I'll see you in your dreams.'

*Glug noises* Focus on Alphi, worried face - "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I'm terribly worried about everyone as well."

Wolf wipes his mouth while looking at Alphi apologetically - "No lad, it wasn't your fault. *hic* I shouldn't have spoken to you that way. The blame is now back where it belongs."

Alphi confused - "Well, we can discuss blame later I suppose... For now Ser Haurchefant would like a word with us. Are you feeling up to meeting with him?" Wolf grins - "Aye, my head is much better. Perhaps he'll have a lead on the location of our friends. *hic*"

(from cutscene) A) Hydaelyn - “Crystal bearer...I am Hydaelyn. All made one. A Light there once was that shone throughout this realm... yet it hath since grown dim.” B) Hydaelyn - “And as it hath faltered, so hath Darkness risen up in its stead, presaging an end to Life.”

A) Hydaelyn - “For the sake of all, I beseech thee: deliver us from this fate! The power to banish the Darkness dwelleth in the Crystals of Light. Journey forth and lay claim to them.” B) Hydaelyn - “By thy deeds shall the Crystals reveal themselves to thee. Only believe, for the Light liveth in thy heart. Go now, my child, and shine thy Light on all creation.”

Y'Shtola helping Wolf stand from having collapsed in the grotto. Wolf holding his head with the other hand. Thought - ‘Hells…how strong was that grog?! That was the strangest vision yet. It felt different than what the hellhound usually shows me …" Y'Shtola ponders - "It would appear our culprits are seafaring men of some persuasion... piratical being the most probable."

A) Wolf laughs - "Aye, we’re in Vylbrand. It's always pirates." B) Y'Shtola chuckles - "In any event, you seem much recovered from your sudden... affliction."

A) Shtola ponders - “I confess, I was rather taken aback when you collapsed at the very moment of our victory. Mayhap a surfeit of aether...?” B) Wolf looking away, confused - "Perhaps…I had a strange dream. A towering Crystal was speaking to me."

A) Shtola confused - “I beg your pardon? A “towering crystal”? I'm sure I don't–" B) Shtola surprised - “Oh! Well, well... This has been a day of unexpected revelations.” C) Wolf quirks his eyebrow. Thought - 'She knows something… I need to find out more.'

A) Wolf gives his Y’Shtola his most charming smile - "Well lass, I certainly feel better after your aid. Perhaps you'd let me take you out for a meal to show my thanks?" B) Shtola scoffs - “I must continue my investigation. In the meantime, I suggest you deliver this knife to your patron, along with a warning concerning the pirates' probable involvement in this murky business.” Thought - "Is this man attempting to woo me? How odd…"

A) Wolf salutes and winks - "Yes ma'am! All business then." Thought - 'Suppose I'll have to try another angle if I see her again.' B) Shtola smiles at him in amusement - “The days ahead promise little rest, I fear…” 

Shot from in front of Shtola. She’s walking out of the cave with an amused smile - “May our paths cross again under the light of the Crystal.” Wolf waves awkwardly, confused - “Aye…the Crystal… Farewell then, mysterious stranger. I'm Wolfram by the way. What's your -"

Wolfram Saga Comics (Chronological)

This is the script for a future comic. Posting for those who don’t want to wait to get the story. Numbers indicate frame number. A/B mean a frame is split.

Zoomed out shot. In the Mother Crystal arena. Wolf /converse with Hydaelyn. Narrator - "After fighting Hydaelyn, Wolfram has some things to get off his chest and asks the others to continue on so that he may have a private word with her before she disappears."

A) Wolf annoyed - "- and so - after you abandoned Ysayle, took Minfillia as your puppet, and ruined the lives of countless girls on the First I've come to see that you use people like tools. In that way you're no different from Emet-Selch. I'll do as you ask because it happens to be the side that will save the people I care for. Not out of duty to a false god." B) Hydaelyn smiles sadly (if possible) - "That's…truly all you think of me? Of him?"

Wolf furrows his brow and looks away - "No - I’ll admit I cared for the both of you. Your ancient selves who I recently met. Venat and Hades. You aren't my mother or my god, but you were my friend for a time in Elpis… and that's who I'll mourn. Not this manipulative thing you've become."

A) Hydaelyn fades. B) Venat appears, smiling - “Then perhaps you would prefer this form?”

A) Venat smiles sadly - "I understand that you blame me for the difficult decisions I made and the times I did not intervene. You are rightfully angry for all of it. Would that I could have done more. Yet before I go - may I have recognition for the things I did intervene in?" B) Wolf frowns, confused - "Like what?"

Venat smiles hopefully - "I kept your grandmother alive long enough to banish the voidsent from you almost two decades ago. You are aware how rare it is to survive a possession. Did you never question it?" 

Wolf raises an eyebrow and crosses his arms - "I did not know you had a hand in that …yet you hardly get credit for keeping me alive. Of course you needed me alive to be your weapon. And what a painful life it has been."

A) Venat smiles hopefully - "I have saved you countless times - even before I gave you my blessing. You are correct about my motivations. Yet I have intervened elsewhere in your life as well." B) Wolf curious - "What do you mean?"

Venat smiles - "I know your own life matters very little to you, but you care for the lives of others. There are some you thought lost that I saved…you will reunite with them in time. For now, something you can fully appreciate. -”

A) Venat grins knowingly - “- What care have you for the life of Raubahn Aldynn?" B) Wolf shocked (comedically) - "The hells you have to do with him?!"

Venat smiles with pity - "Oh dear… you almost lost him so many times. Many before you'd even known him. And so many times after. One happened right in front of you. Did you never question how he could lose an arm and keep fighting for so long without succumbing to his wound?"

A) Wolf expression softens - "You…saved Rau?" B) Wolf smiles.

A) Venat smiles kindly - "The man that you chose to love has led a dangerous life. Nothing like his ancient self." B) Wolf amazed - "Azem and he?!"

Arachne and Amyntas fighting a rogue experiment side by side. Venat (off frame) - "He was her world and she his - not that they were lesser beings on their own of course.”

Arachne and Amyntas sweet couples pose. Venat (off frame) - “They didn’t *need* each other but they certainly wanted each other. For centuries. Each time they left the star together and were reborn together. Until she accepted the seat of Azem they were rarely seen apart. I was always in awe of their love. They were both my dear friends...”

A) Wolfram looks away, brow furrowed, speechless. B) Wolf smiles sadly. Thought - ‘Centuries…’

A) Venat beams - “As you know - my powers are limited here. Therefore I helped where I could. I intervened on behalf of the soul that could help you the most to become the man who would save our star." B) Wolf tears up, smiling - "Thank you… It doesn't change how I feel about your other actions, but thank you for saving him. I will not let this star fall. You have my word, Venat."

Venat beams - "I know. I have full faith in you. Afterwards - do not squander what little happiness I could give to you. What you believe you deserve matters not. Your souls were bound long before they were shattered."

I need to take a proper pic in Elpis and with mods to remove the elezen ears, but - Amyntas and Arachne (Azem)

3. Did they have a good childhood? What are fond memories they have of it? What’s a bad memory?

10. Do they like children? Do children like them? Do they have or want any children? What would they be like as a parent? Or as a godparent/babysitter/ect?

43. Are they religious? What do they think of religion? What do they think of religious people? What do they think of non religious people?

Thanks so much for the asks! Sorry for the delay with this. I had to make a timeline to help me answer #3.

I'm not a good writer and this is allot so I'll elaborate on the one I haven't said much about and for the others just short answer or link to the comic scripts that address it. Hope that's okay. :)

3. Did they have a good childhood? What are fond memories they have of it? What’s a bad memory?

Wolfram's childhood, like most people's, wasn't "good" or "bad" it simply was. His mother's (Astrid) family ran an inn on the border of Gyr Abania and Gridania. His father Nashvan was a traveling merchant from Thavnair. Nashvan and Astrid fell in love and he decided to stay and help run the inn. His family disowned him for leaving the family business but Astrid's parents welcomed him like he was their own. The inn business even picked up a little with the improved food menu at the tavern. About a year later Wolfram was born and a year after that his brother Klaus. Wolf and Klaus had quite different personalities but being so close in age were best friends anyway. Wolfram was emotional, impatient, empathic, creative, and fiercely protective of his family. Klaus was calm, thoughtful, somewhat apathetic, intellectual, and slow to action. They spent most of their youth playing soldiers or exploring the nearby woods. When they were 7 and 6 their sister Ana was born. Despite being younger she always wanted to spend time with her brothers and they were happy to take care of her while their parents were working. Ana's personality was more like Wolf's but less empathic and much more physically active than creative.

When they were older they also helped around the inn. Wolfram liked helping his father cook the best. Despite not having a formal education they did learn the skills needed to run the business and their grandmother taught them all how to read the common language.

They were also taught combat from a young age. Nashvan trained both his sons how to dance and fight with chakrams. Wolf gave it up after a few years as he was stocky and not naturally graceful like Klaus. He was interested in learning magic from his grandmother (who was from a long line of Mhachi black mages that practiced secretly) but she refused to pass on that knowledge due to how her parents had treated her. Wolf didn't understand and held alot of resentment towards her for it. Luckily his grandfather who had been a soldier was pleased to be able to train Wolfram with one handed swords, which he excelled at. He also found that while not graceful, he was far stronger than his brother and very agile, therefore usually winning their duels. When the time came for Ana to learn to fight she had no patience for dancing so her mother trained her as a pugilist, which suited her energy level well.

They were a typical family. Sometimes they were nice to each other. Sometimes they fought. They always loved each other. It was like that for many years... until the Garleans invaded and Wolf made his choice.

As far as memories go - Wolf's fond memories included training with his grandfather, cooking with his father, singing with his mother as they worked, and going on little adventures with his siblings when they weren't needed at the inn. He had a few bad memories as well. When Wolf was in his mid teens his grandfather passed away. It was really hard on him since he was also his mentor. Wolf didn't handle the loss well and became angry and a bit rebellious. Often reacting without thinking and starting arguments. The other isn't really a specific instance but - how his family in general acted about his orientation. His parents gave him and Klaus "the talk" in their early teens largely due to the amount of time Klaus was spending with the girls his age. Since Nashvan was bisexual there was never any assumptions put on who their children would be attracted to, but they both found it odd when Wolf said he wasn't interested in anyone. Still, he was young so they didn't press him about it. Several years later when he still hadn't dated anyone it became something Klaus would tease him about and his parents would make little comments. Never anything really cruel but he got the message from them that there was something "wrong" with him and that hurt. Eventually he did pursue people (usually inn guests) in his late teens but more out of curiosity as well as to stop the snide comments. Still, it never went very far.

Parents (in 20s)

Klaus (20), Ana (14), Wolfram(21) - Wolf should be less muscular and have a smoother younger face here but it was before I'd finished modding young Wolf

10. Do they like children? Do children like them? Do they have or want any children? What would they be like as a parent? Or as a godparent/babysitter/ect?

He likes kids fine enough. Thinks they're cute and has fun playing with them. Children like him since he's quite silly and playful around them. He spent allot of his youth watching over Ana and has very strong paternal instincts. There was a time when he and Raubahn were dating in their late twenties that he wanted to get married and be a father, but once they broke up he couldn't see it as part of his future. There are 2 comic scripts that touch on the subject:

Wains (Age - 25) https://at.tumblr.com/ffxiv-hunklander/701939168110149632/gkdib8eph5aq

Tendrils of Intrigue (ARR Age 40) https://at.tumblr.com/ffxiv-hunklander/tendrils-of-intrigue-comic-script/mec482q1oo0l

43. Are they religious? What do they think of religion? What do they think of religious people? What do they think of non religious people?

He was raised worshipping Rhalgr and the Sisters but quite casually. So he's never had strong feelings about religion until he became the Warrior of Light.

These comic scripts show a bit of his developing feelings about religion.

In the Eyes if Gods and Men (ARR) https://at.tumblr.com/ffxiv-hunklander/in-the-eyes-of-gods-and-men/nw81tm58llcg

Primals (HW) https://at.tumblr.com/ffxiv-hunklander/primals-comic-script/t1uyqa33vww7

Over time he basically decides that gods (if they even are real) are assholes and anyone blindly following them is a fool. He's sad to have lost faith as he knows it's a comfort to many. He is close to many religious people so he rarely voices his opinion so as not to offend them. He kind of grows to hate Hydaelyn as well even after learning the truth about her. She does confess something to him in EW that makes him soften towards her but he still has resentment. He's suspicious of the current alliance raid stuff and is basically forming conspiracy theories about it. I've got some drafts on my Discord if anyone is interested that reeeaaallly get into it with future spoilers but I'm not quite ready to share those on Tumblr.

Anybody can join my Discord for sneak peeks at drafts, gposes, and housing. Also, to just hang out. https://discord.gg/6HuDxwFJK6

Living Roe in a Tiny House (202011 Build)

After months of learning glitches as well as much trial and error I finally have a house I’m proud of! It’s not perfect, but it’s home. 😊 This is my small in Mist Ward 15 Plot 19 on Spriggan. Apologies for the wide angle shots, it’s much better in person. 

I absolutely love the concept of tiny homes and container homes. Living Big in a Tiny House is one of my favorite YouTube channels. I drew a lot of inspiration from the designs in that show. I was excited to try designing in such a narrow space. It only takes up about 1/3 of the space on the top floor. It was definitely a challenge when it came to working with the camera. A lot of removing walls and adding them back just to see what I was doing!

I got to a point where I had achieved the main layout but felt that the area above the door was too empty. So I made this lighted roof fixture using wooden beams, long windows, and oasis lanterns. Sometimes you just gotta wing it! 🤣

I knew right away that my focal point would be the kitchen. IRL I love to cook. I make most things from scratch and spend hours in there, so I wanted my love of cuisine to flow over into my virtual house as well. 

One really cool thing I’ve noticed about tiny homes is how they will have some sort of covering over the kitchen sink. This is to increase countertop room in such a small space. So I did my best to replicate that.

Tiny homes often have a lot of the storage areas built into the walls. I added the hingan desk thinking that it would be light and easy to move when the storage drawers needed to be accessed.

I couldn’t decide if I wanted an aquarium or a window here... so I decided to get weird with it and do a kind of surrealist window with fish floating around in it. 🤣

I decided to keep the sleeping loft super simple instead of some of the more extravagant ones some tiny homes have. This way it can act as a multi-purpose space. I missed not having a bathroom. If I was building in a large I could have added one behind the kitchen but the length of a small isn’t quite enough. So I totally cheated here and added a mystery door. Who’s to say there isn’t a bathroom behind it? Or a deck? Or a closet? We don’t know and we don’t need to! 😉

The best tiny homes have tons of natural light. It helps to make the small space not feel claustrophobic. Many forgo a television area as well, but I can’t survive without my shows! 

Thank you for taking the time to look at my design and read about my silly thought process. If you happen to be on Chaos please drop by and leave me a message! ❤ Update: Build no longer active.
