Setting Forth

Enkhutuya bid farewell to her tribe at Reunion and set forth, trading her tribal clothing for travelling attire she was told was more suitable for the world beyond the Steppe. Carrying little other than her axe and a bundle of goods to sell, she hiked to the shores of the Ruby Sea and thence to Kugane, where she sold her goods and sought to buy passage to Eorzea. Seeing she had only a handful of gil, the captain kindly allowed her to work as a cabin girl instead of paying the extortionate fare.

Soon into the voyage though, she discovered that none of the crew or passengers could pronounce her name correctly. Wanting to keep her nickname only for family, she decided to take on a new name for her journey. Looking out over the waves of the Ruby Sea, she decided to name herself Ruby, after the place where her adventure started.

Landing in Limsa Lominsa, she immediately sought out work and took on various odd jobs - loading and unloading cargo, making deliveries, serving drinks in the Drowning Wench, she did it all, earning a small living while she also made enquiries about the group of Xaela who would have arrived some years before.
