Aethertide Ventures is a multifaceted free company offering protection, goods, and services throughout greater Eorzea. It is known (or in some cases criticized) for considering only the contracts and duties that it deems of interest and benefit, and refusing the rest regardless of profits. To these ends, Aethertide Venture Company is a neutral to good aligned company. People wishing Eorzea harm may not fit well here, aside those careful in hiding it...
Though Aethertide Ventures had its beginning in the Golden Bazaar, its current headquarters are located at plot 45 in ward 12 of the Mists.
The company is made up of five branches:
Outreach, dedicated to the union of all branches and the company’s relationship with Eorzea and its inhabitants.
Aegis, dedicated to the protection of the company during and between its many tasks.
Special Tactics and Operations, dedicated to problem solving and information gathering.
Commerce, dedicated to ensuring the Company turns a profit.
Medica, dedicated to the health of the Venturers and any they might aid.
About Us
We are a large, heavy roleplay, creativity-focused community that encourages quality writing and adherence to lore. Our discord server and enjin forums are regularly updated. In Aethertide Ventures, members are highly encouraged to share art, creative writing, and roleplay. We are most active in evenings ET.
We host seasonal events, two to three week long plot events that use our A Roll Reborn roll /random system. These may involve combat, investigations, or branching paths that will develop a story dependent on the Venturers’ decisions. We also allow members the opportunity to host member run events with the help of their fellow FC members and the officers. Our environment provides a platform for dynamic roleplay, and our members often engage in a variety of mini-plots, independent investigations and combat, and even tavern talks. New and varied roleplay scenarios occur regularly.
Our free company was founded in January of 2016. Our tag was formerly AV-RP, but changed to TIDE on 10/04/16 by member vote.
Joining
If you are interested in joining the ranks of Aethertide Ventures, please read our rules and complete our application for the free company. We are selective, but we will work with you to the best of our abilities if there is something about your application we consider not aligned with the free company’s standards. You will need two linkshell slots open if you are accepted, one for our in character linkshell and another for our event linkshell used for event master emotes and prompts. Though we previously allowed linkshell-only applications, we are unfortunately unable to continue doing so due to the linkshell capacity limitations and our popularity.
If your application is accepted, we will confer on to the best way to involve your character in the community if requested. This can include a mini-event, an in character interview, or something as simple as your character finding an advertisement for work and stopping by Aethertide’s headquarters. All new members are subject to a 30 day voting period. We urge applicants to take this seriously, as we do not permit re-application in cases of exit or dismissal.
