“As they say, the pen is mightier than the sword. And in this particular case I mean that quite literally, so en-fucking-garde.”

- Daniel Van Heler, ‘The Masked Storyteller’

For all that local Limsa novelist Daniel Van Heler loves his Carbuncle, sometimes he wonders if it will eventually either drive him mad or get him tossed off the Misery and onto a random island of monsters. The twelve have mercy upon his soul.

And yes, his Carbuncle has an unhealthy obsession with root vegetables.

This is for the prompt ‘carbuncle’ for the Wondrous Tails of FFXIV event! Also a sorta-sequel to this post of shenanigans.

Daniel Van Heler is a well-to-do writer living in Limsa Lominsa, known largely for his multiple romance series which range from stories of bashful Ishgardian lords learning to love, to the fanciful trysts of adventurers roaming across Eorzea. He never strays from an idea, and prides on accuracy as much as enjoyment above all else.

When it is brought to his attention that he is yet to write a sea-faring romance proper despite being a Limsan native, Van Heler seeks to remedy that by joining the crew of the Kraken’s Arms in order to truly understand the life of a pirate-turned-privateer. How else is one supposed to write about something he knows nothing of, after all?

… it doesn’t take long before he realizes it probably isn’t his best decision.

“Daniel Van Heler at your service! Part-time adventurer, but full-time novelist of the most riveting tales my Eorzean countrymen have ever laid eyes upon. I’d almost fancy calling myself a bard, but I can hold no bow and my voice is as prickly as an Ishgardian noble.”

“So you’re not a bard at all.”

“Er- well, yes, I suppose not. But the other parts are still true!”
