Magnai of the Oronir is an Au Ra found in The Azim Steppe. He was first introduced during the Stormblood expansion main storyline, along with the Xaela tribe he rules, the Oronir. Magnai makes further appearances in story content that involves the Far Eastern Alliance, including a handful of main story quests within the Endwalker expansion. His particular quality of being a hopeless romantic is also featured in a Lodestone Side Story, released during the Stormblood era, titled "O Nhaama, Where Art Thou."

Lore

"Ah, war. To wield power, to make men kneel before you. There is no better feeling.”

A warrior of unparalleled strength, the most radiant brother of the Oronir excelled in both combat and hunting since the moment he could wield a weapon. Fiercely proud of his heritage, this man of twenty and seven summers puts little store by words, believing great feats to speak for themselves, and indeed he has many to his name, which might lead some to consider him a heroic figure. However, despite (or perhaps because of) these qualities, he has struggled to reconcile his rather high expectations for a bride.

As a child, Magnai was a hopeless romantic fascinated with the legends surrounding the Oronir and their destined partners--their Nhaama. Though most of his brothers grew more pragmatic with age, the most radiant only became more preoccupied with this ideal... and deaf to the words of wisdom of his five elder sisters. Instead, he continued to hone his skills, believing that the strength to split the earth asunder and smite fell beasts would surely attract the attention of his beloved-to-be, his gentle, ethereal maiden. To his credit, perhaps, Magnai is more than willing to take no for an answer, for he truly believes that were he to meet his Nhaama, they would not refuse him for even a moment.

Favored Weapon

Scale of the Father: This great axe[1] has been passed down through generations of Oroniri leaders. Legend has it that the weapon was forged from one of Father Azim's scales of midnight, cast off from his armor during a duel with the Dusk Mother. To this day it pulses with the divine light of the Dawn Father.
