Dorgono of the Qerel is non-player character in Final Fantasy XIV. She is Luvsan's daughter and is the youngest of eighteen siblings. Dorgono appears during the Warrior questline.
History[]
Early life[]
Dorgono was consumed by the violent impulses of the will of Karash during a hunt that was to serve as her rite of passage. She was exiled from her clan as one of the reviled Taken. To hone her skills in hopes of mastering will of Karash, Dorgono wandered aimlessly, eventually washing up in the port city of Limsa Lominsa.[1]
Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood[]
Dorgono was part of the group that Wyrnzoen formed to test the strength of the Broken Mountain and Curious Gorge brothers. During the battle, Dorgono was possessed by the will of Karash and easily threw Wyrnzoen, Broenbhar, and even Curious Gorge into the waters of the pier. Broken Mountain recognized that she had been taken over by the inner beast, and with the help of the Warrior of Light, stopped her.
After the battle, Dorgono explained her situation and Broken Mountain agreed to help her train to control her inner beast, asking the Warrior of Light for help. Dorgono participated in his training while accompanying Broken Mountain on Maelstrom operations against the Mamool Ja and eventually managed to control her inner beast after an ambush by the beastmen. Once she could control her inner beast, Dorgono thanked for the help and returned to the Azim Steppe to regain the trust of her clan.
Upon her return, she discovered that her clan's settlement had been attacked by the Chaghan, a group of exiled Qerel who believed the blind rage of their inner beasts was a gift from their goddess, the Dusk Mother. The Qerel believed that Dorgono was one of the Chaghan and refused to let her return. Dorgono decided to avenge her people and regain their trust and enlisted the help of Curious Gorge and the Warrior of Light. Dorgono discovered that Nayaga, leader of the Chaghan, intended to attack Mol Iloh and tried to intercept them. Once the battle began, Curious Gorge confessed his love for Dorgono and awakened his inner beast. After the battle, Curious Gorge lost control of his inner beast and Dorgono fell in love with him. Curious Gorge regained his senses when Dorgono confessed her love for him.
Dorgono asked Curious Gorge to return with her to start over as part of the Qerel clan but he refused. The control of his inner beast still eluded him, and he could not tolerate the idea of hurting the one he loves most. Curious Gorge would return to Eorzea to continue his training. Dorgono bid farewell to Curious Gorge and the Warrior, and left to finally reunite with her people.
Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers[]
Curious Gorge sent Dorgono several missives but did not reach her, as her clan has no written language. Afraid of losing her, he left to the Azim Steppe, only for her to arrive shortly after his departure and greet the Warrior of Light. Dorgono traveled all the way to thank them at her father's behest for fighting on their behalf. After her father thanked them and offered to give the Warrior thirty horses, she explained that Eorzeans did not need it, and that the Warrior was a traveler. She offered the Warrior to join them as her father's company was exhausting her.
The group met Broken Mountain at the Moraby Docks to see the Warrior unit and Broken told the tale of how he became possessed by the inner beast. Her father, Luvsan, was a healer from their lands and offered to heal him so he could wield his axe once more. After obtaining shivermoss, she overheard her father give the Warrior of Light his blessing in marrying her daughter, but she questioned who he was to decide that for her and told him that it was another.
Not long after Dorgono's father cured Broken Mountain of his ailment. In his uncertainty, Curious Gorge mistook the amicable smile that the Warrior of Light and Dorgono shared as something romantic, and nearly let loose his inner beast out of rage. Dorongo thrashed him, giving him a proper scolding for doubting her, as she was in love with him.
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker[]
During the events in Garlemald, Curious Gorge, Dorgono, and Broken Mountain were busy dealing with a "strange-looking primal" that crawled out of the tower in La Noscea. During the battle, Curious Gorge went berserk and Dorgono was the one who dealt the final blow to the primal.[2]
