Padjal

The Padjal are mysterious, holy figures in Gridanian culture in Final Fantasy XIV. They are seemingly unaging children born rarely from certain Hyur bloodlines in the Twelveswood, although the exact age at which they "stop aging" varies, leading to some discrepancies in their "apparent" age; some (like E-Sumi-Yan or O-App-Pesi) forever appear like preteens, while Kan-E-Senna appears more as a "late teen" of sixteen or seventeen years of age. Their age shows in some ways, such as grayed hair or dull skin tones, but they retain their youthful shape until death.

After the abuse of magical energies that led to the Sixth Umbral Era, both white and black magic became forbidden arts. The Padjal are children sanctioned by the elementals to conjure at full strength, particularly in favor of white magic. More recently the elementals have allowed Conjurers to use a portion of that power under the guidance of the Padjal, but only a select few ever become White Mages.

Every Padjal has thin horns usually in the form of animal horns, and is gifted with powerful Conjury. As soon as a child is confirmed a Padjal, he or she is inducted into the Conjurer's Guild and taken to live at the Stillglade Fane and takes a new name.

Padjal typically become mentors to other Conjurers, if not members of Gridania's government. E-Sumi-Yan is the master of the Conjurer's Guild at Stillglade Fane and is senior among the Hearers, and Kan-E-Senna leads the Order of the Twin Adder and is the Elder Seedseer.

Naming Conventions
The language the Padjali names are based on is the language of the Ainu peoples, indigenous to northern Japan. While not a direct application of the language, the Final Fantasy XIV lore team used its phonetic and spelling conventions in recreating the "overall feel".

Here are a few real-world examples of that language:
 * sir e-tok: the edge of the world
 * nupe: tears
 * pon: small
 * wakka: clear water

Following rules applies to the naming pattern:
 * All are comprised of three words.
 * The first two are the forename, and the final word is the surname.
 * The first name is constructed of simple vowel-based word (E, Ae, Uo, I, Ea, etc.) combined with a longer companion word. In the case of males, the vowel-based word comes first. In the case of females, it comes second.
