We are Her shield! We are Her spear! We are Her Rage and we shall know no fear!
IC: Until but recently, Archbishop Thordan VII held absolute power over the Order of Our Knights Most Heavenly, binding them to his will just as the Great Wyrm Nidhogg had bound the Dravanians to his. Sworn to serve the city, they were. Sworn to serve in a war without end.
It was during this time that a handful of Ishgardians, unconvinced that the Fury would condone ignoring the rest of the Realm in the wake of the Calamity, formed a secret militant order - the Rage of Halone; a Free Company that could reach beyond the walls of the Holy See to aid the Realm in its struggle against the Garlean Empire. They worked as labourers, mercenaries, privateers and soldiers and settled in Limsa Limnsa, which became a base of operations for their group. After proving itself time and time again, the Rage found a place for itself within the Maelstrom, serving as an auxiliary unit.
Gaius Van Baelsar was eventually defeated and the Garlean forces quelled, but the same could not be said of Thordan or of Nidhogg. In Ishgard, still people fought, still people died and for what? Hearing of Alphinaud Leveilleur's plight, the Rage allied itself with the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, crossing the gates and walking the steps of faith once more into Ishgard. There, slowly but surely, with the help of brave Ishgardians and none other than Aymeric de Borel himself, the Rage was able to expose the orthodoxy's lies.
With both Thordan and Nidhogg now dead, the Dragonsong War has ended. Bonds have been broken and wounds have begun to heal. Ishgard rebuilds. Yet a Storm of Blood brews in the the East and all eyes turn to Ala Mhigo...
OOC: Hello, everyone. My name is Akira Ikari. I am the leader of the Rage of Halone, a Free Company I have been meaning to found for quite some time. Unfortunately, many of the friends I used to play with locally (IRL) are gone now and so too it seems for the friends I had in game, so I thought I'd give it a shot and try to get a new group together.
<<Rage>>, I'm hoping, will be a light-to-medium roleplaying Free Company of adventurers loosely tied to Ishgard and Limsa Lominsa. I don't have any plots or specific stories in mind, but I'm open to any suggestions. Roleplaying could happen in FC chat or in Linkshell, either is fine by me. I look forward to seeing some fancy writing. 
Otherwise, I want it to be a place for all sorts of people to come together and play; a place where they can build camaraderie and help each other. I love playing FFXIV, but I often feel alone in the game. I want to offer people a place where they don't have to be alone. I'd like to get to a point where we can clear end-game content together and do all the fun things that bigger FCs do, but even if all you want to do is roleplay and level alt-jobs, that's OK.
Honour; honesty, integrity and respect. These are some of the values I'd like to build <<Rage>> around. Wanting to do good and treat people the way one would want to be treated. That's the goal.
If you would like to know more about <<Rage>> or would like to join its ranks as one of the Winter's Warriors, just reach out to me here or in game!
P.S.: I speak French (Québec), English and some Japanese. Having a multilingual FC could be cool.
