I have updated this linkshell information page with more current information, which is a reflection of an update done to our website.
Dark Embers currently has two on-going free company story arcs in place, with a third lined up for activation around mid-August. These arcs have already taken personal elements from members' histories and current stories, allowing their fellow members to find out more about them.
The first is Probably Primals, which runs as sort of parallel arc to the Main Scenario as it introduces new Primals to the game and lore. It involves learning about the Primals and their followers, and not every event results in combat - sometimes they're more of a puzzle, or a solemn occasion, or a heartbreaking discovery than a hack and slash adventure. And the actual fight against a Primal is no walk in the park - there are casualties amid the members, some of which are dire, while their allies are also injured and people like their Grand Company support die; there are consequences to taking on something akin to a God, and we try to keep that very tangible in our story.
The second arc that recently started is called Outbreak, wherein a voidsent curse has become more of the start of a void plague. While the Grand Companies disbelieve that such a situation is possible, the Embers are investigating the potential catastrophe, despite the potential danger of being infected by the vicious void energies.
The upcoming arc is called "Ties That Bind", and will lead the company into the Binding Coil of Bahamut in character, which we've actually been doing as a raid force. This story again runs in parallel to one provided by Square-Enix - the Chronicles of a New Era Bahamut Quest line, with our own unique twists and turns. A great number of personal character ties are involved with this particular plot, as we have Twelveswords and Meteor Survivors in our company, as well as a number of individuals who have interest in Allagan technology.
Raid wise, we're enjoying all turns of the First Binding Coil of Bahamut, while preparing for the new section of Crystal Tower. We also are working on Titan Extreme, and will be moving on to Ifrit Extreme within the next couple of weeks. We also always go back to prior raids and help our members get their relics, story quest raids, and fun things like Moogle weapons.
