News travels fast in Ul’dah, particularly when money is involved. Hardly a sennight after the completion of the ‘heist,’ the White Chocobo Trading Company took to the news… And their story was promptly snatched up by two freelancers who, to this point, have only managed to be published in The Sunway Daily, a news journal known for its less-than-becoming ‘respect’ for journalistic integrity. Still, given that the Ebonguard has historically been plagued by issues of publicity, the fact that it was reported at all ought to give the members some pause…
The Ebonguard is and has always been a network of criminals, comprised of thieves and smugglers and other such knaves. But in a time before, prior to the Ebonguard becoming the Ebonguard, there was another case. It was a mile and more away from the network’s most recent escapades, but due to the lack of organization of the network, the way that the case was covered by the newsprint and handled by the authorities very nearly led to the network’s downfall.
Those who do not learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them.
NEXT SCENARIO: THE OLD GUARD
(Details TBA)
Interested in getting involved with the Ebonguard Scenario, either as an ally to this band of n’er-do-wells or as a force working to stop their criminal ways? Both members and outsiders more than welcome! Send an ask to our tumblr or PM me here and we can work something out (posting in this thread is also acceptable)!
We are also open to being involved in the plot lines of others, either as allies or antagonists.
Our Discord is available for non-members to use as freely as members, and we even have a channel specifically for collaboration. We ask only that you provide us with a character name, and that all involved parties are lore-compliant.

Post-Stormblood, Late-July Update!
Post-Stormblood, Late-July Update!
Hey everyone; it's been a while! There has been some delay in stuff and things due to Stormblood hype (and I myself am preparing to attend college), but we're still around and now-gearing up to head into our next Scenario, which is going to be a lottle more plot-focused than the last one. Though don't get me wrong, crime will still be happening, but Scenario Two: The Old Guard will likely be more about delving into Ebonguard's background lore a bit than anything else... And, well, learning from the mistakes of the past as it were. With so many meddling kids around, can't get away with nuthin' these days.
Going into this plot arc, we are more than open to the idea of collaborating with mercenary, bounty hunter, or law enforcement characters and groups who would be interested in acting against Ebonguard seeing as it is very much a network comprised of criminals. If you're interested in the prospect of doing this on a semi-consistent basis, then drop me a line and we can work something out! In order to keep things fair, we will likely be using some form of dice-rolling shenanigans, because it's no fun when one or the other side is guaranteed to win.
Aside from that, we apologize for some noticeable slowness when it comes to getting through OOC interviews to bring applicants into the LS. In addition to Stormblood shenanigans, many of our officers also have real life things to tend to. In the coming months, I will be looking into growing the officer team (we have only four at the moment) so that this is less of a problem in the future, and to help make events for the LS more frequent!
We are also looking into boosting our activity by encouraging our members to attend events through Have Linkpearl, Will Travel and have been plugging events in the Discord lately. Look forward to screen caps and event accounts from those shenanigans as well, to be posted on our Tumblr!
Till next time!
