(EU/NA ) An adventuring free company born out of necessity and with a storied history, originating in the snowy Coerthan wastes. Formerly based in the Shroud we now operate out of La Noscea (Mists) pursuing for any venture worth its weight in coin. No matter the location, be it the mountains of Abalathia or the rolling ruby seas. We offer boarding, travel opportunities and fair pay, the company aim is to maintain an atmosphere of Brotherhood/Sisterhood for all those within her ranks. Lore-abiding, plot based roleplay with a focus on weekly social meet ups. Though this free company may not be the most organised its full of heart, no one will be left behind and no job is too small so long as the coin is good!
From mercenary work to chasing a lead for hidden treasures, Winter's Wake has chased down every avenue to reach its current form. Beginning as the forgotten remnants of a debt ridden group, we foraged for work on the Ishgardian streets. Now with the backing of a minor noble family, several successful contacts and minor resistance work. This hard pressed free company has been through everything but now stands to make a name for themselves. Not only in the eyes of the grand companies but to all of Eorzea itself.

What is the Winter's Wake OOC?
We are a primarily EU based Roleplaying Free Company on the Balmung Server, we do however recruit non EU members and have a number of NA members at present. While we cannot promise these members will receive our full focus we do our best to try and help them fit in and feel at home. Fortunately many of our EU members are night owls so you shouldn't ever find yourself alone if you are on a differing timezone!
Our aim for Winter's Wake is to be more than just a free company, we stand to be a community. Using both our Enjin website and our free company discord, Winter's Wake has grown from a collection of roleplayers on FFXIV to a solid growing group of friends both online and off. Conforming with this has never been a forced aspect of the company, don't feel like joining us for a few steam games or a quick round of your favourite competitive game? No problem.
Perhaps you're an avid writer or artist? Well to that say we say join us! We work to actively promote our FC artists within the company, with discord channels displaying their work and forum threads dedicated to their accomplishments. Our officer O'ray Tia runs the Winter's Wake Writing Challenge to encourage people to pick up their quill and try a new form of character development.
How can I get into roleplay with your Free Company?
We're always accepting contacts, relations or just random roleplay when we're out and about. Very rarely (with the exception of FC only story driven events.) will we deny random world roleplay, in fact if you catch us in the open we'd encourage you to come up and join us. It wouldn't be the first time we've had one or two strays join in our antics.
If you want to form something more than that with us then please do get into contact with one of the officer team and we'll try and see what we can do or come up with. Any form of longstanding relationship or FC to FC interaction will require a bit of discussion on our end but something could be arranged.
We do not allow at present non FC members to stay in our IC Linkpearl though when it is in use for events we may offer temporary invites to allow you to get the full experience and partake. However in order to arrange RP we have a Wake-OOC Linkpearl for friends, family and others who wish to get involved with the company but not join it directly for now.
