Y'mhitra Rhul, also known as Y'mhitra the Learned, is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy XIV who is a resident of Gridania and member of the Sons of Saint Coinach. Like her half-sister Y'shtola, Y'mhitra is a conjurer. Y'mhitra is the main quest giver for the Summoner job.
History[]
Early life[]
Y'mhitra is the seventh of twelve sisters, and attended the Studium where she specialized in the field of archaeology. Upon graduating she joined the Sons of Saint Coinach, and traveled to Eorzea to survey the surrounding ruins. They discovered Allagan tomestones detailing the existence of summoners. Excited, Y'mhitra relocated to Gridania to deepen her understanding of the summoning arts.[1] In the Sixth Astral Era, Y'mhitra's location in Gridania was occupied by Louisoix Leveilleur.
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn[]
Through her guidance, the Warrior of Light can revive the Allagan art of summoning the essence of primals into egi. Having become proficient in arcanima, Y'mhitra took the Warrior to the Sagolii Desert where the essence of Ifrit could be summoned as an egi using the soul crystal. By defeating the entity, Ifrit-Egi could be summoned into battle. Once Titan was defeated, Y'mhitra would take the Warrior to Finder's Bluff in North Shroud where Titan-Egi was summoned and bent to the Warrior's will. A dark summoner accosted them, demanding they surrender the soul crystal, but they fended him off and escaped.
She later learned it was a man named Tristan Nightflicker, and asked the Warrior of Light to investigate his activities near Little Ala Mhigo. This led to an attack by his associates that had to be be driven off. Once Garuda was slain at the Howling Eye, Y'mhitra had Garuda-egi summoned atop the Floating City of Nym in Outer La Noscea.
Y'mhitra sent the Warrior of Light to her colleagues at Saint Coinach's Find in Mor Dhona, who had unearthed garbs once worn by summoners of old. The Warrior confronted Tristan in the Singing Shards, where he was making deals with an Ascian to obtain power. In exchange for several crystals, the Ascian agreed to teach him how to summon the egi of an ancient primal, Belias. Y'mhitra and the Warrior of Light confronted him and his new primal.
Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward[]
Y'mhitra meets Y'shtola again after the seedseers brought her back from the Lifestream.
Y'mhitra became instrumental in Y'shtola's return from Eorzea's Lifestream since Kan-E-Senna needed someone similar to her sister to hone in on her being. When Alphinaud Leveilleur, Tataru Taru, and the Warrior of Light learned that Y'shtola's aetherial signature went to the Twelveswood, they sought out the help of the Elder Seedseer, Kan-E-Senna, who informed them the process was not simple, and mentioned the possibility of a family member aiding it. Tataru exclaimed that Y'shtola had a half-sister, Y'mhitra, who joined the Sons of Saint Coinach and was in Gridania. Y'mhitra told the group that when she heard what happened to "Shtola" (her personal way of addressing her sister) she unsuccessfully attempted to make contact with her. Though Y'shtola and herself were of different mothers, they shared the same father, and Y'mhitra agreed to help bring her back.
With Y'mhitra's presence, Kan-E-Senna, Raya-O-Senna and A-Ruhn-Senna located Y'shtola in the Lifestream and retrieve her. Y'mhitra accompanied her unconscious sister while Kan-E-Senna advised the others to wait till she came to.
Y'mhitra continued her role as an advisor to summoners. Rammbroes Zasertylsyn presented her with a tomestone containing information on more of Allagan summoning arts, and noted the Singing Shards could be suitable for drawing a lightning-aspected egi. They failed to draw Ramuh-egi to the site to commit Austerities of Lightning.
There had been sightings a of a dark mage attacking travelers with Ifrit-egi in Thanalan. Working with Dancing Wolf of the Immortal Flames, they cornered and defeated the mage in Northern Thanalan. Dancing Wolf explained it was the body of Tristan's brother, who was tempered by Ifrit. The Ascian of the Twelfth Chalice appeared, irritated at losing another pawn, and revealed to be behind the incidents.
During her research on Summoner arts, Y'mhitra learned the reason they could not call forth Ramuh-egi was due to limited capacity of a summoner's lifeforce (having already harnessed three egis). She learned of another technique, called Trance, that could bypass these restrictions and allow the summoner to harness the power of a primal directly. To combat the Ascian threat, she concluded the best option would be the Dreadwyrm Bahamut itself, whose fury was felt across the land in the Calamity. By sneaking into the Carteneau Flats, she had the Warrior of Light meditate on Bahamut's influence. The Ascian of the Twelfth Chalice attacked with various egi, but once the Dreadwyrm Trance was mastered and his egi were destroyed, the Ascian fled.
Noting his sudden cowardice, Y'mhitra suspected lesser Ascians could not possess living hosts like the overlords (such as Lahabrea) in the event their old body was slain. Thinking they would need corpses to persist—and the restricted Carteneau Flats would not have any available—he was not going to risk dissipation. She claimed another technique was available, located in the Great Gubal Library. Outside the old facility the Ascian returned with three others to assist him. This was all part of Y'mhitra's plan: by tricking them into an ambush, and knowing the Warrior of Light needed to be in the heat of battle to master the Dreadwyrm Trance (the library was a ruse), she lured them into the secluded Hinterlands with no readily available corpses. The four Ascians were destroyed thanks to the Warrior's new mastery of Deathflare.
