House Marchand has only recently been conceptualized, and we are seeking people to become either family members or retainers of the house. Our goal is to build our elezen family from the ground up as people create their characters, while still offering a place for legacy characters on the Balmung server. If you have a character already established and you'd like to find a niche in our house, you are welcome! We'd also love to welcome anyone who might not have a firm backstory in place yet. The goal is to figure out some back stories and a family history together.Â
What is House Marchand?
Located in the verdant city of Gridania, the Marchand family are crafters and merchants above all else. When the calamity struck, the house took in a great many refugees. These wayward souls were given food, housing, and allowed to use the extensive crafting halls of the house to learn a new vocation. Several of those refugees have made the house a permanent home, crafting or serving the house in other ways.
What We Seek:
Elezen Race
The heirs of the house are wildwood elezen, so most family members will need to choose the elezen race and wildwood clan. However, we are quite open and might consider adopted persons if the story works. Also - people who join our house do not need to be of the family. As a large manor, there are places for guards, servants, spies and most importantly - craftsmen.
Surname "Marchand"
Please know that we are hoping that people who are true family members will choose "Marchand" as their in game character surname. This is not required, there are some loopholes where a different name could work. However, as part of the goal of a shared narrative, this is one thing that will pull us together.
Some potential roles, and unavailable ones
Note that this house will be a linkshell only - no Free Company is planned at this time. However, if there is enough interest then a Free Company would be considered. The goal of House Marchand is to be another place to socialize, another set of stories and another group of people to roleplay with. Further, we hope to have social events that the RP community will be invited to.
Overall we are very open in potential members, so long as the storyline makes sense. Please visit our website or drop a line if you are interested in joining.
We look forward to playing with you!

Some potential roles, and unavailable ones
- We would LOVE more siblings!
- The matriarch has recently died, so that is an unavailable role.
- Patriarch (father) - if we find the right person interested in this role.
- Other extended family - aunts/uncles/grandparents
- Cousins - this is an easy way to not need to take the Marchand name, but still be involved!
