inactive Gilded Mirage Consortium

[Navisse]

As you round the corner toward the back entrance of the Adventurer's Guild, you're forced to skid to a stop. Kneeling on the street is an Elezen woman, the haft of a massive spear strapped to her back, her silver hair hiding her face as she attempts to pick something up from the filthy street. Not noticing, or perhaps just ignoring your vexed sigh, she rises with a fallen scroll of parchment in her hand. She pauses, pushing as much of the mud from it as she can, before tacking it back onto the wall along with other flyers of its kind. Turning, she cocks her head at you and then points at the posting before brushing past you with nary a word.

[align=center]Who We Are[/align]

---

 

The lost treasure of the great city of Sil'dih. The long forgotten knowledge of Nym. The buried machina mysteries of the Allag Empire. 

 

Gil. Glorious, shining gil. 

 

Many are the reasons that a person would seek employee with The Gilded Mirage Consortium and Gavin Prytherch III, born into the wealth of Ul'dah, is happy to find a way to profit from any of them. 

 

Founded in the years after the Calamity to capitalize on the interest in relics of bygone eras stemming from the uncovering of many historic sites, the Gilded Mirage Consortium specializes in relic hunting, trading, cataloging and cartography. We provide specialist services to collectors, centers of education, guilds and freelance archaeologists.

 

Profit is the driving motivation of our company but employees of the Gilded Mirage Consortium vary greatly. From righteous scholars seeking to safeguard knowledge from less scrupulous treasure hunters, "collectors" with a fondness for shiny things, mercenaries looking for well paying protection jobs, adventurers happy to take the exceptional pay and readily available excitement. Our setting is crafted to allow for any sort of character, of any alignment to find a home and dive into some storyline. 

 

 

[align=center]What Sets Us Apart[/align]

 

---

 

• Unique Overarching Storylines - From personal storylines specifically intended to rope others into roleplay to multiple, divergent guild plot lines we love storytelling. We have several experienced Dungeon Masters waiting to guide you. (No dice required ... maybe.) 
  
• Experienced Leadership - Our core group has been leading successful roleplay guilds for nearly eight years. From Final Fantasy XI to Warhammer Online, Aion, Champions Online and The Secret World. If you've been RPing in MMOs, you've probably played with us at some point! Two of our three leaders were Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 beta testers and proud legacy players since day one. We adore this game and aren't going anywhere! 
   
  
• Quality Over Quantity - While we believe there are as many way to roleplay as there are roleplayers we are very proud of the level of RP and quality of characters and players who wear our tag. We are not looking to pad numbers, to fill out a raid force or to keep our doors wide open. Being lost in a sea of faces or struggling to work your way into stories is no fun. While we take our craft seriously we know how to have fun and excel at playing the game. We're also happy to help those new to roleplay!
  
• Balanced Interests - Roleplay is our primary focus but we are also experienced progression raiders through several games. While we are not taking things quite so seriously here we do fully intend to take part in everything the game has to offer with our signature skill level and fun, stress-free atmosphere.

Our members are collecting Darklight and storylines are getting off the ground. It's a perfect time to join us and get in early on the upcoming roleplay and end game goodness.

[Olofantur]

Took the good building at the Golden bazaar tonight!

 

It is a good building... BAH!

 

sorry for the interruption at the event, at least Kaylie ran out and helped with the FATE the others were trudging through.

[Navisse]

It is a perfect building! We usually operate out of the Golden Bazaar with side trips to Silver. Both are such awesome RP spots. 

 

Kaylie was happy to have something to do while all of us had our heads in paperwork and plots.

[Roen]

Storytelling, overarching storylines... I'm excited just from the description!

 

Hello, I am quite new to the world of Final Fantasy, and currently am just running around solo learning the game and the lore.  I'll admit, the New Beginnings movie trailer for the game hooked me.

 

Being that I am new to this game, my current highest is wee level 15.  I am not a hard core gamer and I don't expect to reach 50 in a week.  

 

But I enjoy roleplay and storytelling. So how do I get started?  Where do I find the Consortium? I will venture to Golden Bazaar... when I figure out where it is.  (I have not come across it in my quests but I understand I will be able to venture out soon on an airship!)

Hi Brynn!

 

Everyone started out at level 1, no worries. And we've several lorehounds in the FC (self included) that love to answer questions and ramble about Eorzean history. 

 

The Golden Bazaar is north of Camp Drybone in Thanalan, the area around Ul'dah. We're there a few times a week if you're looking to stumble into our roleplay. We just started a new plotline last night so there's lots of openings for interaction.

 

If you're looking to join formally you can fill out an application on our site to start the process.

[gurgh]

Wow, this LS looks awesome.

I'm looking to move servers (and reroll my main) and this one is in my top 3 to apply to.

[Navisse]

Thanks for the kind words, Ozmo. You won't regret a transfer to Balmung. The RP is awesome and the server in generally is very friendly and helpful.

[Suisei'to]

Out of all the Linkshells and Free Companies I've looked into since release, this is the first that has grabbed my attention. 

 

I'll be dropping an application of relatively soon.

[Navisse]

Awesome!  We look forward to reading it. 

[LandStander]

Is this a FC and an LS or just an LS? I like the members of my free company,  but I would enjoy another LS and the chance to venture with you all ^^.

[Navisse]

Our FC is in-character and our LS is OOC, I'm afraid. We're always looking for people to interact with though. If you've a job we might be interested in, or in need of send a message to any of our members. We're mad about pick-up roleplay 

[Navisse]

Welcome to Armin and Roen, our two newest minions hires!

[shotgunbadger]

This seems right up Zutoto's alley, expect an app from an eager young Lalafell soon!

[Navisse]

We'll look forward to it, Zutoto!

 

Many congrats to our members on their HM Ifrit and Garuda clears tonight, and thanks to Rhio and Zeraia for the Garuda help. Slowly but surely making our way to that Titan.

Hey there!

 

We have 10 FC members at the moment and several talkative allies in our OOC LS. Our peek times are about 5pm - 12am PST but people come and go in the afternoon as well. 

 

We also have two RL couples, soon to be three most likely so you'd be in good company Our FC tag is , if you see us about please feel free to strike up some RP. We all love random roleplay.

[Navisse]

And welcome to our newest member, Daring Bloom! 

 

We are still looking for a dedicated tank and healer (PLD and SCH preferred) to round out our eight man. And of course are always looking for awesome people to rope into our roleplay ^^

[J'ruzho]

This group doesn't look right for J'ruzho, but... perhaps if I decide to make a second character, I may consider making them a treasure/artifact hunter type and applying to your company. I always liked the scholar class (with less than zero reasons for J'ruzho to be one, or even use magic of any kind, ICly) and being a treasure hunter and researcher of long lost knowledge could be a very fun character to rp.

 

I'll let you know if I end up making the character.

[Zazalan]

Hello there, been lurking on this website for a while now and finally decided to create an account.  I'm fairly new to the game and I'm currently only level 28 so once I'm a little further along I'll apply officially.  For now I wanted to state my intent and just put my name out there.  I think this group looks really awesome and would be perfect for my little guy!  Hopefully I'll be seeing you all around.

[Navisse]

Awesome to hear it, Zazalan   We'll be looking forward to your application, then. But keep in mind we don't have a level requirement so you're welcome to apply whenever you like. We have one new member who just hit 30 and a few of us are working on jobs around that level as well.

[Navisse]

Warm welcome to our newest member, Cassandria!

[Roen]

Another warm welcome to more new members!  Zazalan, Isandor, and Isondre!

[Navisse]

Sadly, The Gilded Mirage is on temporary hiatus due to major RL issues for leadership.
