History
Before Dawntrail
Alayla lived in Treno along with her husband Robor in the Ninth, where lightning-aspected aether was abundant with constant thunderstorms. Alayla was the Speaker of the Milalla, a spiritual leader who held onto their traditions and sought to find a way back to their ancestral home using the key which belonged to their people.
Alyala and Robor were invited to join Preservation in Treno's neighbor Alexandria to lead research into the Ethos. When the Preservation sought to use electrope to construct a gate to the Source to steal aether from there by interdimensional fusion in order to obtain the necessary aether required for the Endless, Alayla and Robor rebelled and quit the organization. By this time, they had a daughter, Maya, whom they discovered was born with an exceptional gift, the Echo, which Preservation sought to use it for their ends. To protect the Source and their daughter. Alayla and Robor opened the gate to the Source and delivered their baby daughter into hands of Galuf Baldesion, Dawnservant Gulool Ja Ja, and Ketenramm the Blue, who were studying the gate located within Skydeep Cenote within the forests of Yak T'el in Tural. Alayla handed the baby to Galuf and Robor gave the key to Ketenramm. They then went back through the portal, and closed it behind them, content they left their daughter and the key in safe hands.
Alayla and Robor became targets for the Preservation. As such, they founded a resistance organization, Oblivion, with the intent of stopping the use of interdimensional fusion. They erased all knowledge about themselves. Not even the members of Oblivion knew their names. Sometime after closing the gate, Alayla and Robor died, and their memories were used to create them as Endless.
Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail
Twenty years later in the Source's flow time, Krile, Alayla's daughter, entered Living Memory along with the Warrior of Light, Wuk Lamat, G'raha Tia and Erenville. Erenville's mother Cahciua, now an Endless herself, wanted them erase the Endless by shutting down the terminals within that stored their memories. After shutting down the hydro and geo terminals, they proceeded towards the pyro terminal.
When the party went to battle arena located in the area, the Warrior of Light recognized the Endless Alayla and Robor, sitting on the stands watching a battle between two arcanists, having witnessed a vision earlier from their own Echo of them delivering Krile to the Source. The Warrior notified Krile about this, and she approached them, showing them the earring that was tucked away in her baby wraps. Alayla and Robor were shocked, recognizing the earring. Alayla ran to her grown-up daughter, hugging her, happy to see her daughter alive.
Alayla and Robor led the party to a better place for conversation, with Krile introducing the group to her parents, but it was difficult for the three of them to talk, since a twenty year-long gap is not so easily filled. G'raha and Wuk Lamat suggested that that food might help the awkwardness. The Warrior of Light brought the three of them ice cream cones, but the silence remained. G'raha then went to get one of his own and showed an example, which amused Krile, and digging into her own cone. Robor wondered how was Krile able to eat it since food within Living Memory held no flavor to the living, but Krile claimed the ice cream was delicious.
Alayla and Robor told them their story and they also agreed that they would not agree to be maintained as Endless at the cost of the lives from another world. After the party had learned what they needed about the Milalla and how their group's arcananima was instrumental to the function of electrope, they had one final heart-to-heart talk with Krile, encouraging her to walk forward, do what needed to be done, and not look back. They revealed Krile's birth name to them and delared their love for her more than life itself, which made Krile to cry happiness. As the party moved forward towards the pyro terminal, she looked at her parents one last time and bid them farewell. When Krile shut down the pyro terminal, Alayla and Robor vanished from the Living Memory with a smile of being proud of their daughter.
