The Video helps depict the events that has so far occurred in our Season 1 Story Arc for our Community. We did not add words to the video as we utilize the following link to detail what exactly occurred during the RP as a record and log of the events we've already done (but to also make sure new members don't get lost with our expansive FC lore).

Norvalla met up at the Free Company House where Ryslo would explain the situation to each member and go briefly over the details of the three missions they'd be assigned to handle for the Grand Companies of Ishgard, Gridania and Limsa Lominsa. These three area's seeming to have a common thread - Undead Sightings. The following is a rough idea of what was stated in character:

 

“While information is still being gathered on the two locations of the Fragments of Arnvidar Bekker - we still have work to do in Greater Eorzea. This evening we have three requests one from Gridania, one from Ishgard and lastly a request from Limsa Lominsa. Their forces are thinned and our recent activities against the paranormal seem to have garnished us a reputation in dealing with the abnormal and the a cult. While I typically would avoid what seems to be clearly mercenary work - I still can see the value in us handling the issue I'm about to go over. After all if we don’t these problems may have an adverse affect on those living in the aforementioned zones. Plus I could not help but to identify a common thread between these three requests and so I found my interest piqued.”

 

“I have asked Mister Bullet and Miss Aldavaul to aid me in leading a team each to the separate zones. Mister Bullet will be spearheading a team of our own members to the Region of La Noscea - Specifically the ruins of a society that has long been toppled. The ruins are known as the ‘Floating City of Nyms’. The yellow jackets have come up with reports of strange apparition’s roaming the ruins. They describe these apparitions as having a lucid blue figure, cloaked and no larger than a Lalafell. Anytime they’d approach the apparitions seem to disappear from sight. They want us to investigate and see if there is something we can do to put these visions to rest or.. To calm to souls of those that seem unable to depart these lands. How we do this? I’m uncertain as they don’t seem to be voidsent but impressions of the past. Proceed with caution regardless and expect the unexpected.Mister Bullet will be responsible for writting the report but someone else may need to deliver it to the Yellow Jackets in Limsa Lominsa due to his affiliation with the Empire.”

 

“Meanwhile Miss Aldavaul’s group will be heading to Coerthas, North of Dragonhead to the old tomb markers of fallen warriors. It seems Ishgard too had dispatched a small squad to investigate the area due to reports of grotesque figure’s breaching the snow caps. When they arrive they don’t note any such thing but they also can’t dedicate a considerable amount of focus on the task due to the war efforts that are being conducted along the Garlean and Alliance lines. They need us to camp the location for a bit, see if we can witness this ourselves and if we do - Contend with it. Report your findings to Ishgard upon completion - This can be left up to Miss Aldavaul.”

 

Ryslos Write Up
 

Having met up with everyone back at the Free Company House - I arranged a group of 4 individuals to work alongside me in the shroud to go and check out the area just outside the ruins of Amdapor Keep. These ruins are a stark reminder of a bygone era when war between multiple kingdoms nearly toppled the world - where conflict nearly drained our star of all it’s Aether and a reminder that our Star has a means to defend itself. When the group arrived in Quarrymill it was abuzz with it’s typical atmosphere comprised of various adventurer’s and merchants that frequented the woods. The group of Norvalla members took stock of the situation before proceeding out into the thickets of the woods beyond the tall wooden Palisades of Quarymill’s rampart. 
 

As they pressed through the thickets of overgrowth they crossed a narrow channel of water and entered the ruins rather swiftly. Walking into its confines they would see among the ruins a figure draped in white. It’s head slightly turned behind itself as it noticed the small group in approach - It would then turn about and walk forward entering a small portal of swirling black energy that was touched briefly by a hew of purple arcane light. They had no chance to interact with the figure as it faded from sight. Instead they were immediately greeted by the sound of cobblestone’s being pushed apart as thin bony appendages pressed out between the slabs of rock and dirt - arms would eventually breach the surface followed by the cloaked forms of the undead. As six of these monstrous figures emerged rising anywhere from 5 fulms 7ilms to 6 fulms 4ilms. Each armed with crude rusty scimitar minus two who had been armed with bladed polearms giving them considerable reach. Combat commenced quickly but thankfully the group was well organized and worked together to push back the threat. Once the enemies cleared and the dust settled the group took a moment to recoup and started their trek back to Gridania where the success and report of the mission was given. 
 

Llanores Write Up
 

Tasked with going North of Dragonhead in Coerthas to seek out the truth behind the rumors of disturbances at the old tomb markers of fallen warriors, the team of five (5) would make the trek into the unforgivable terrain.  Enroute to the tombs they found the path lead them through the ruins of an old set of dilapidated buildings that were obviously once grandiose. Passing through the ruins a sudden, deadly chill, encompassed them. The team found themselves questioning what they thought they saw within the round stone hall. Each was certain they had seen the visage the back of a person bearing Ephemeral White robes disappearing into a swirling shadow of black.  Since all had seen it they were sure it had happened. This however was merely another aspect of their mission to report. With the form gone, they turned their attention back to the gravesite.

Pairing up Naoh’li with Sulwyn, Llanore sent the pair to investigate two of the stone markers to the right. D’ein and Jaghet were assigned the left marker.  Llanore disappeared for a bit as the two teams looked over their marks. It was D’ein that first discovered any form of disturbance in the snow, indicating activity in the immediate area. Naoh’li found that the topmost rock, on the site he was inspecting, was oddly out of balance yet did not fall. But it was as Sulwyn was showing interest in another of the sites that the rock atop this stone mass would begin to rock back and forth then topple.
 

The teams found themselves unwelcomed by the mummified residents of the site. Rising from the snowcovered ground, the mummies made their way toward the separate teams. The slow movement of the first two Mummies, made targeting them relatively easy. I would like to make note here that both teams showed tremendous ingenuity to fell their foes.  As Sulwyn and Jaghet used their weapons and brute force, Naoh’li had chosen to try out some new items he had come across, FRUIT. One such fruit would crack open and spill a slippery goo that caused two of the 3 enemies, on their side, to fall making vanquishing them much easier. On the other side D’ein chose to catch one of the rib bones that Jaghet had dislodged, using it as a dagger to split the skull of one of the Mummies.

Here we are, another month closer to the end of the yeah 2019.

Have you been able to fulfill the goals you set for yourself this year?

I would like to think that Norvalla has done well marching forward our goals.

Norvalla steadily grows, becomes more immersive, more role-play, and more camaraderie.

 

Starting this month off we already have two enticing role-play events scheduled this week.

Norvalla's main event has us traveling to the East. A call for help has reached our ears one we must answer.

A mid-day side event will also take place with further investigation stemming from the spooky happenings in the post above.

 

Interested? Intrigued? 

 

Recruitment is open

 

[Ryslo Suramlo]

Figured I would share a small glimpse of the Project I'm working on for our Free Company. An in character perspective of the 'Lore' which will be extremly lore friendly but have a twist to introduce it to members of our free company as it is being written to provide an actual source for new members and old to comb through. I will be linking at the end of this pdf. my sources and references to back up the material within. Of course its also written with the assumption that my character does not know all and so there will be clearly things missing but will be added over time as more is organically learned.

Another Sample of our Open World RP - 

 

S h a d o w s - o f - t h e - V a l e

Attendance: Llanore Aldavaul, Jaghet Mortis, Gen Dothari, D'ein Nunh, Meiko Meiko, C'lyrah Exa, Visha Yasceret, Aleria Demora (Ryslo), Sehra Muril, E'tihl Tia, Bullet (Arnvidar Bekker), Sulwyn Bakuro
 

Among the lands of Outer La Noscea there resides a Floating City - Ancient and imposing these ruins seem to provide the stark landscape of green's and browns with a beautiful spectacle of oranges and blues. The Aether among this region is abundant and the history rich and in-depth. There resides a Hovel, long forgotten and slowly in disarray where a lone female awaits a plea for her call - A single flare of help sent out to all members of Norvalla.. a voice that rings akin to one some knew sometime back. The voice has a desperate quality to it and one that seems wrought in despair. Will Norvalla assist this disembodied voice that sung across their pearl or ignore it and leave her to her fate.

When they arrived at a small shack found at the edge of Outer La Noscea they would see Llanore & Yorah standing there. Yorah was more or less in a kneeling position. Her hair was wild, untamed whilst her eyes darted back and forth as if fear had consumed her very being. Her once pristine armor was caked in blood that was smeared across her chest plate, her weapons broken and in pieces and her skin shredded and torn along the edge. Her hair was tossed about in a wild fashion and there were scraps and scars upon her flesh at random intervals. Those who beheld her saw her as a differnt women they had known her to be when they first met her. Once enough had gathered she seem to find... no muster the strength to stand. She went on to explain:

 

Quote

"When I was taken into the Void it was a horrifying place of nightmares. A landscape that mirrored our owns, where ruins resides.. dust swept lands ruled and skies as dark as the maw of hades reigned. The winds carried upon their breath the disembodied voices of waking dreams and the creatures that ruled all but malformed. It was a horror like none other and while she escaped she did so barely." - Yorah

 

She would go on to talk about the /man/ that hunted her. How she couldn't stay in one place to long and that when she was taken she came to believe she was not the intended target someone else was. It was discerned that Sehra was the target that was intended but seem to satisfy itself with having Yorah at minimal. She also explained she escaped through the vale between both realms in Gyr Abania. She further explained that the emergence of Voidkin breaching into Eorzea seem to give her the chance to slip by. She also explained that she's been walking around for a long time.. and that a man that was once dead seems to have been revived.

She could not go on any further until a hard pressed attack hit the Cabin everyone was sheltered in. The combat would be fairly easy in comparison to what Norvalla had already faced but among it.. fire was set to the shack and proved to be more of an obstacle then the enemies themselves. Once they cleared the area of all Hostiles including a Massive Demon of Fire.. they would note a man in white robes turning about when notice was given and walking out of sight soon afterward.

Updated to Reflect the New Concept!

[Ryslo Suramlo]

The Oracles of Empyrean - We promise to introduce a side of Final Fantasy that has been explored but not very often. A side full of adventure, a side full of consequences, a side of thrills and your occasional spills. We are seeking people who enjoy Pen and Paper Games, Who enjoy structure but also enjoy being a team player not just another proper in some scripted story.

Our Game Mastered Events have a purpose, have a general concept but its our players that will chart the course. While we may highlight a member here and there our events will be customized to give everyone a chance to stand brightly among the various stars as we venture forth to do good, to make mistakes and to journey to correct them. Come check us out!

[Ryslo Suramlo]

We have thrown up a few events this week already! First one of our 'Mentors' has organized a Squad Mission with one of her members (Squad Missions are just smaller events so people don't get overwhelmed by the massive ones we'll do biweekly), Second event this week is a Prelude Story Event which all members are invited to (A big event that invites all FC members to join in) and lastly we DO host a Pen and Paper Event weekly (Starwars Saga Edition) to connect with folks out of character and for those interested in such things. Things are on the up and up here at the Oracles!

[Katja Lykios]

This new adventure we are embarking on "The Oracles of the Empyrean" is very exciting. 

I can't wait to share with you all how the first Squad Mission goes! Myself and my squad will be heading into an area more or less barren. Our mission? to seek out life and ascertain if it is edible or not!  Of course I mean vegetation and animals. This mission sounds easy enough, but who knows? A roll of the dice and we could be the food!

 

The above is but one of many adventures we plan, and don't plan, to have. One never knows when a spur of the moment RP happens to deepen the story more.

We are welcoming those certain people that wish to explore and have a peek at FFXIV from a rare perspective.

Click HERE if you would like to apply.

P R E L U D E : S E T T I N G - U P - C A M P

Attendance:

Katja Lykios, Daniux Aldove, & Argyle Aldrich

The trio would set out to clear the ruins out of any possible threats that may linger among the debris, the broken pillars, the crumbling foundations and the dust settled by time. As they approached they did so with great care and observation as they were forced to engage an Old Guardian of those Ruins. A golem made of sandstone and at it's heart a gem that hummed with a radiant orange glow seemingly the heart of its source of power. The sounds of metal and stone echo around the trio during their conflict. Dust was uplifted from the ground and sand tossed about but given time the three conquered the ancient creature and cleared a path to what would be their home for the coming suns.

[Ryslo Suramlo]

We have Squad Missions (Small Events of 4 people) to build up the environment around us, to make the world feel alive and to always allow us to have that 'small FC' feel no matter how big we get.

We will have Promotion Ceremonies, Trials Organized that will help prepare people for leadership roles and bountiful adventures that will also impact our Main Story Events. We promise there will also be Oracle Based Missions which links all our Squad leaders together and more to come in the future. We are excited as this will be a great community to involve yourself with from the ground level as we plan to progress, grow and strengthen our bonds from day one.

Decided to give two small summaries of our (Just started Journey) - Simple Starts.

Attendance:
Katja Lykios, Daniux Aldove, Argyle Aldrich, Nessa Aldrich & Elvaine Aldove
Gamemaster:
Argyle Alrdich
 

The Group headed to the Tribe of Ash where they would meet up with the Chieftian. There the Chieftain would ask each of those present questions as he sized up the groups commitment to do favorable deeds within the deserts of Thanalan on which he and his people call home. Each of them were dubbed with an Animal Name - Katja the Salamander, Daniux Aldove the Fire Toad, Nessa Aldrich the Egret, Argyle Aldrich the Tortoise, and Elvaine Aldove the Gazelle. As they answered the questions the Chieftain did not give way his answers, He simply pressed more questions. By the end the Chieftain seem to have gathered enough about the Oracle's intent and agreed to provide general information to the Oracles and also allow them to work within the Region uncontested (atleast from their Tribe).
