I am Allunaire Aurifort, Knight of house Fortemps. I have worked hard to get here where I am.

Youth
When I was young I lived on a small homestead in Coerthas ran by my parents, Lorilaut and Faulchet Aurifort. I remember working the farm and travelling to Ishgard with Father for trade, he was a known alchemist and taught me his trade, despite how strict his teaching me was it was vital for me to know. I remember cooking with mother, I wasn't the best at it but she was loving and caring.

Attack on Ishgard
After the seventh umbral calamity the snows came tenfold freezing everything on the farm making it difficult for the plants to survive. Soon after that the Dragons we were at war with became bold, the dusk vigil had fallen, our farm was burned down and my parents nowhere to be found, climbing from the rubble I made way to Ishgard. They brought me in but housing was scarce. Living in the remnants of the Brume and the Firmament alongside other orphans. Being the eldest I did my part to protect the children and trading basic labor for scraps.

Becoming a knight
After a couple of years the children were able to do more, some had been taken In and I moved on to do my part to protect our realm against the Dragons. I managed to get recruited for guard duty. I began by learning the sword, Lord Hauchefant and his battalion were training us recruits, an honor it was to meet one of the lords of the high houses.

One day I was guarding the Iron Vigil and we were sat upon by a Dragon army, I barely survived and was given leave by Lord Fortemps, during which time I studied becoming a priest of Halone. I had a gift for white magic and used it to heal the sick but the church had gotten rid of me for taking advantage of my gift.
Lord Edmont had heard and gave me an honorable Knight title of house Fortemps. Upon leaving one day I spotted a beautiful maiden, Gideon, ward of house Haillenarte. I approached her and offered to court and she accepted, my life was finally coming together.
I returned to central Coerthas and began studying under lord Almeric, former Azure dragoon who saw that spirit burns within me granting me skill with the lance and my chance for revenge. Together alongside a fellow hero ned Ven we formed a knighthood centered in Ul'dah to commemorate the new Eorzean Alliance.
Around this time Nidhogg had been halted and peace was brought to Ishgard thanks to many great heroes including Ysayle, the heretic, I never thought it possible. I was sent on several different missions one of which I had slain a great Griffin, finding a hatchling in the nest. I decided to raise it as my own, naming it after a hero of legend, Icarus.
After being away for a while I had returned to a letter. Gideon had ventured to the far east to study the Samurai. I had to ask her something important so Ven and I set sail for Doma, which was recently free of the Empire. Finally catching her, I ask her to marry me and thus begins a whole new chapter of both our lives.
