Final Fantasy VII remake - zomg. 4. I'm not sure what else to put here. 5. We missed a tell from someone today in the middle of a log out- if that was you, let us know!

How our events work IC Contracts are chosen and handed out by our NPC tavern owner, Herald, via personal offering or via one of the many bulletin boards around her establishment (Lavender Beds Ward 12, plot 16). You touch it, you take it and be careful, she's always got eyes on those parchments. Find your job, find your party, get it done, get paid. It's that simple. OOC While a contract will likely be “pick up groups” made by someone shouting in the tavern or over one of the pearls Herald's regulars get to see if anyone wants to join in on the work- OOCly they will still likely be scheduled via our discord. Post a synopsis of your job (including the date and time you plan to run the event) into the #contracts channel and let folks react to join your party. Events (contracts/leves) can be posted by anyone. Unless there's a possible lore issue, don't expect moderation of your group. If you post it, you lead it. While there won’t be many, if any, overarching story lines as they wouldn’t make much sense for this type of /fc, players are welcome to weave their webs how they'd like!

FAQ Where's the Tavern located? Ward 12, plot 16 of the Lavender Beds What's the joining process like? Find Seda Riley (ShayRei#9850) or Dacien Cimeaurant (Dacien#1573) in-game or via discord and we'll get you an invite to the discord where you can copy/paste the application pinned in the #application channel and fill it out before submitting it there in a reply. Someone will get back with you to chat within 24 hours and if all looks good, we'll poke you in game to go over any OOC matters and then toss an invite your way (to the FC and/or the CWLS). Do I have to join FC to participate? No. We will make use of the ooc CWLS to try and bridge the gap for non FC and CW players. Discord will be relied on heavily to help here also so keep your notifications on for important channels such as #announcements #contracts or #linkpearl . Is there an IC interview? There is no IC interview*, after all, it’s just a tavern and you’re not working for the tavern itself, but the clients that hand out the contracts. *Unless you are applying to work as one of the tavern staff (barkeep, general staff, attendant to the gambling hall upstairs...) then we'll work out a little scenarios to work your character in. Nothing daunting. If you want an introductory RP with Herald/in general we can certainly work that out too! How did my character hear of this tavern/Herald? Lots of ways! Word of mouth or flyers with information about a place to find work, just another establishment that offers rooms for rent, a tavern in need of staff, searching for some lucky card tables... Does being one rank mean I can't do stuff the other ranks do? Not at all! You'll be assigned the rank that best suits your character (according to your answer on the application) but of course you're welcome to do other things. More jobs mean more pay, right? Do we have a roll system? Not currently! Everyone is welcome to run their events how they see fit. We ask that you explain how that might be in the contract that you post (Free RP, /random rolls, character sheets, modifiers etc). More often than not we just use /random to work out rolls and drop either the first or last digit to make it a roll from 0-100. We also have ideas for simple modifiers that we could use in the future if the need or interest is there. You're also welcome to use one of the bots in discord to roll a specific set of dice. Peak times? In game- 6pm-11pm CST Discord is pretty active most times of the day.

Our Premise (IC) After a lucrative run in Ul'dah, a Hellsguard hustler known by the angelic moniker "Herald" found an opportunity to expand the small bar scene she had built into a much larger tavern operation. She packed up shop in the desert and bought property in the Lavender Beds where she's now the owner and purveyor of the Seraph's Den- heavenly harbor to travelers, hunters, and anyone eager to try their hand at doubling the coins in their purses. Those that come to Herald are here for one of three things- work, rest, or gambling. Herald and her Cherubs have a knack for finding lucrative work for those with the skills to get jobs done regardless of their... moral compass. Doling out bounties, contracts, and leves alike, there's a job for just about anyone that comes looking, so long as you can prove your worth. Not a fighter? Not a problem- she's always in need of staff for the tavern, keepers for the rooms and attendants to the tables upstairs.

What to expect of us and what we'll expect of you. Don't be a dick. We’re adults, act like it. We don't police or parent people here- we do enough of that outside of our limited game time. Your political, sexual, personal, etc preferences make no difference here. Treat each other like you want to be treated. There is nothing wrong with civil discussions, but if it turns into a debate or someone prefers it not be discussed, it should stop immediately or get taken to a private channel to continue. If you can't get along with people or work things out should differences arise, then this isn't the place for you. Enough said. Age Policy Because we don’t police or moderate more than we have to we ask that you be over 18 years of age to join. The founding members are in their early/mid 30s- if you prefer not to play with old fogies, we understand. About Us Casual OOC We've created this FC and accompanying cross-world linkshell in an attempt to find other like-minded individuals to RP with. We're looking to create a community of folks that may want or need a more casual approach to finding RP (or PvE), but also want a certain level of lore adherence. We’ve all had our share of FC leadership that turned into a stressful second job- this time around we’re trying to keep things super simple and stress free. We’re not going to hunt people down to run or join in events. If there are events posted that interest you during a time you can participate- join in! If you’re having scheduling troubles, post and run your own and see who can do things during your times. We may post PvE events (such as maps, extremes, casual raiding, etc) and like the rest of the events with limited spots they’ll fill in with a first come first serve organization. So jump in when you can! We’re just here to have fun and find some enjoyment in the game during content patches and between- however that manifests. Down to earth characters and RP We prefer to see ordinary people do extraordinary things. Simply put, if your character is too OP we don’t want it. It’s no fun playing with people/characters that hog the spotlight and having a character that is a master of all things, never gets hurt, etc, can do just that. In general our RP is not about stopping the end of the world or taking down some big evil villain that plans to enslave all of Ul'dah. Bounty hunting, mercenary, slice of life (tavern RP), and adventuring work (leves) will make up most of our events. Lore Abiding Hand in hand with our non- WoL toons, we prefer to stick to the established lore as much as possible, bending into plausibility only as necessary for the sake of storytelling.
