Announcing that the Final Days would follow soon, the Loporrits began finishing preparations while showing the newly arrived mortals around. The Loporrits only became aware of this once Argos brought the Warrior of Light to Bestway Burrows, alongside their companions in the the Scions of the Seventh Dawn: Thancred Waters, Urianger Augurelt, and Y'shtola Rhul. Fandaniel finished himself and Zodiark off, ending Zodiark's protection of Etheirys. To build the facility, wait between deliveries, and keep up regular maintenance, the Loporrits would periodically hibernate, rising to perform mandatory tasks before another era of sleeping.Īfter the rogue Ascian Fandaniel took control of the will-less Zodiark, the Warrior of Light confronted the elder primal. While many Loporrits were not literate, they took the knowledge the Sharlayans gave them and began to fit Bestway Burrows with an even better standard of living. This included sending books and pictures detailing information regarding the world, food, clothing, housing, and other features necessary to sustain life. The Forum of Sharlayan began sharing information of the planet with the Loporrits to better equip them with knowledge of modern times. Many years later, when Sharlayans were studying the aetherial sea, humans came into contact with Hydaelyn, who told them of the moon and the Loporrits' mission. With only the knowledge of the ancients from before the Final Days, the Loporrits began creating a massive structure to house the gigantic people, studying whatever knowledge Hydaelyn granted them. She instructed the Loporrits to begin creating an ark for mortals to board, and to use the moon as a starship to carry them to another star to establish a new life-much like how Midgardsormr would carry the first brood from the dying Dragonstar. There exists only one known Loporrit who deviates from this naming convention, named 'Goingmyway', though due to their isolation to the rest of Bestway Burrows, it is likely they are the one exception.Īfter the sundering of Etheirys and the sealing of Zodiark, Hydaelyn created the Loporrits to serve as guides and stewards for the people on the sundered star in case the seal holding Zodiark at bay was ever broken. The Loporrits named themselves after Etheirysian features that they wish to emulate, such as 'Guidingway' and 'Growingway'. Their naming conventions work similar to that of the Hummingway from Final Fantasy IV, of whom the Loporrits are based on, where the suffix -way is added to a verb serving as the Loporrit's primary job and purpose. Loporrits adore carrots, and through years of perfecting their food sources for the people of Etheirys, have created a whole variety of different carrots for diverse purposes, such as boosting intellectual capacity, physical strength, and improving one's luck. Their understanding of mankind is quite literal, as everything they have been told is through Hydaelyn and, much later, Old Sharlayan textbooks and samples. Loporrits are expressive, fluttering their ears and bouncing in place when speaking. This can result in speaking of serious topics (such as death and a massive exodus of mankind) with a pleasant cadence, as they try to come off as agreeable as possible to calm any uncertainties or anxieties that mortals may have. Loporrits tend to speak with enthusiasm and clear honesty, such as when explaining their duty and their dedication to helping the living on Etheirys. Loporrits have no biological sex, though they have adopted gendered traits and signifiers after finding it a charming quirk of the people of Etheirys. While most Loporrits have white fur, Livingway has brown fur and different colored clothing, and Counselingway has ash fur and wears darker clothes. They dress in white and blue robes, with a brown sash tied with a moon buckle, and matching brown gloves and boots. The Loporrits are diminutive with round pointy rabbit ears and blue cloudy eyes, much like that of those who serve as vessels for Hydaelyn, like Minfilia Warde.
