Ahlai is not shy about approaching people she finds interesting to learn about the life they have led and the places they have been.However her idea of "interesting" is influenced by her own upbringing and bias: she tends to favor stories of towering cities full of refinement and culture, of beautiful men and women creating beautiful works of art or mastering complex skills. In contrast, the natural world and the "crude, simple" people who make it their home do not interest her.She will, in short, favor a memory of a gorgeous painting of a tree over the memory of the tree itself.

Hooks

- If you are also a traveler, you may have bumped into Ahlai on the road: she travels quite a lot in order to find interesting people to make Memory Crystals with and to sell them to!-- The aetherological techniques Ahlai has mastered to create Memory Crystals can allow her to use her own aether to enchant armor, weapons and gunblade ammunition, and even heal and empower her allies! Maybe you’d like to hire her to heal you or enchant your gear?-- Interested in seeing the famed beauty of Thavnair, or the mysterious dangers of Garlean lands?(But not interested enough to go there yourself?)Buy one of Ahlai's Memory Crystals and witness the memories of the brave travelers of ages past!-- If you have seen any interesting people, places, or things then Ahlai would love to interview you!
If you're willing to carry one of her Memory Crystals for a time so that it can replicate the memory, she would pay you handsomely and be very grateful!-- If you have any rare skills either in craft or in combat Ahlai would likely want to make a Memory Crystal of that skill, though that would require her to learn and train with you for some time, and the resulting crystal would only work for someone who uses the skill with a similar mentality or towards a similar goal as you do!

Contacts:

Seraphene Anbolho

Seraphene is a naturalist and tracker with nearly unmatched knowledge of the Shroud. She and Ahlai have worked together to explore the forgotten places of the world, finding artifacts and soul crystals and returning them to the living inheritors of those cultures whenever possible.
-
Without Seraphene's expertise they would have gotten hopelessly lost several times over, though Ahlai would never admit how much she relies on Seraphene, believing her to be rude and uncultured.

Zahra Showri

Zahra is well known in academic circles for her keen intellect and her dedication to uncovering the mysteries of the past so that they may serve as lessons for the future.
-
Ahlai greatly admires her, seeing her as exactly the sort of woman she'd like to be one day. However, Ahlai is perhaps a little too eager to impress Zahra and win her friendship, causing her to be a little awkward around her.

Lajvati Mahdavi

Lajvati sails the seas as a powerful and feared pirate, doing all the things a pirate's life entails both the glorious and the terrible. But when Ahlai is around, Lajvati tries to shield her from the darker truths of life out in a world full of conflict. She seems to find Ahlai's optimism and idealism to be adorable.

A'kos

A rare immigrant from the independent and reclusive nation of Meracydia, A'kos quickly proved himself a brilliant scholar and shaper of magic, even earning the vaunted title of Archon. Ahlai knows him as a reliable friend and ally, often seeking him out for help in her experiments and her adventures!

Metsu Shoryugeki

When Ahlai first encountered Metsu he was a simple gunblade-for-hire who provided extra muscle for her during dangerous expeditions. But after surviving many adventures together they formed a close bond of friendship and trust, and Metsu revealed to her that he is not quite as simple as he seems...
