Brynhildr/ Shirogane/ Ward 25/ Plot 41 8:30 - 11pm (est)
What started out as a small place for those who are and were apart of the FC. Ren would later open it to the public with the intention to spread her welcoming nature, and to give those wanderer's and traveler's looking for some reprieve a comfortable place to relax. With the help of Casmina and Varic, she was able to open the doors with confidence, and they remain open for all of those that would like to stop by and enjoy the venue. We have only added to the Umbral Lounge family but we hope to see that continue with each new face that comes by and is able to enjoy themselves to their fullest.If you wish to keep up with us and our schedule, you should join our discord. We post all specials and scheduled events, also giving everyone a space to relax hangout and share photo's or stories. https://discord.gg/WA7gcz7a

Born in the depths of the Golmore Jungle, 'Fio' as she likes to be called, was a seasoned warrior even on her childhood, first serving to protect her tribe from any danger while taking advantage to hone her skills. However, she decided to leave after seeing her people was being stuck on tradition, working as a mercenary on Dalmasca, then being a resistance fighter when war struck, and now she has found her way to Eorzea in search of new horizons. It was at that moment that she met Ren, and made her realize there is more to her long life than just battle, giving her an opportunity to look at herself from another angle.
