Heavy RP-FC - FFXIV - Balmung
The Ashen Clinic: Goblet - Ward 9 - Plot 35
Just past the winding avenues where the showstopping homes of renowned adventurers and Ul'dahn socialites glimmer like jewels in the desert, there's a lane overlooked. Has it always been there? At the end of this crooked path, lays a curiosity of a manor, as though Ishgardian sensibility has been carved from Thanalan sandstone.
It certainly isn’t the sort of place one finds unless they know what to look for.
Greenery abounds, taking cues from the natural oasis it is lofted above; a shady, quiet respite from the desert heat. There’s something decidedly nondescript but cozy about this place, something that feels like home to those in need of healing and safehaven.

The ‘Ashen Clinic’ may not be most cheerful moniker for a place to receive care, but for those that work and live there, it’s somber name has come to symbolize hope, opportunity, and a quite literal ‘rising from the ashes’ into the organization it is today.
It’s overseeing free company, the Ashen Enclave, was formally founded just over a cycle ago, after the current Advocate, Lady Milloux Allard, was bequeathed full ownership of the organization.
We believe we are stronger for the hardships we have endured and overcome, both individually and collectively, and it has led us down a path to do better for others. It is not someone's past that matters or defines them, it is how they choose to shape their own future, and that of those around them.
Who we are:
The Ashen Enclave <<Ashen>> is an established and close knit free company. We have existed together in FFXIV as a free company for nearly two years, but many of us have been friends through several games, many RP storylines, and well over half a decade (or longer) now in some cases.
Please don't let this intimidate you! We periodically open our doors to recruitment on a limited basis because we have found we are at our best as a group when we welcome in new friends that add to the colorful tapestry of our company and our RP! Some of our newest members have become some of our most invaluable -- their characters, perspectives and company helping us to thrive. We hope to add to that!
While the backbone of our group RP centers around the Ashen Clinic and the activities therein, we offer a variety of ways for characters to connect with each other, pursue personal growth and development, and otherwise thrive.
We are first and foremost an RP (Role-playing) Free Company. Many of our members engage in and enjoy casual PVE / PVP content, and while we do occasionally organize runs of places like Aquapolis/Canals, Roulettes, or the Alliance raids, old EXs, etc, this is not our focus. Members are usually happy to aid and assist others with various duties and content!
