"Concealed behind trees lies the Warehouse, an unassuming old hideout for the more outcast types."
An industrial-themed venue designed to have the feel of a rusty, abandoned space turned into a personal hideout. A hole-in-the-wall area for those who may wish to keep their presence in the dark. Slowly reclaimed by plants overtaking it, the Warehouse is dimly lit with pockets of comfort amidst the metal.
This is the upstairs, featuring an entry room covered in vines and steamy pipes. Through the doorway is a hall to the additional rooms (a bathhouse) and downstairs (a bar). Lining the hallway is a small reading nook with a leather couch.
It's been a bit since we did a headcount, kupo! Especially in the wake of social media being weird; this might serve as a good way for people to connect with each other. Please like and reblog this post if you are an active Final Fantasy XIV blog focusing on one (or more) of the following: roleplay, writing & worldbuilding.
It does not matter how active you are at all three, only that you participate in some of it and would like to follow more likeminded people.
The bigger this post gets, the more people can have a look through and follow people they like the look of! You can also use the reblogs to give a little blurb about yourself or even make you're own separate post tagging @mooglemeet that I will reblog for extra traction!
This headcount was posted 8/19/2023, to help gauge overall activity of users on it!
Hello again! It’s been a couple of months but I wanted to introduce #seaswolchallenge starting 1 January 2021! The prompts this time around were a touch self-indulgent, but I hope you enjoy them all the same.
Here are the brief guidelines for engaging with these prompts, which you can also find here:
Your character does not need to be a WoL to participate in the challenge; however, the core blog caters to those people who have a WoL verse or strictly write their character that way. If you’re someone who believes in the concept of mary-sues, hates npc x oc shipping, etc., I’d encourage you not to participate and hide the tag for the challenge as needed. I will not tolerate anon hate and will block and blacklist people accordingly.
Currently there are no prizes for completion of the challenge(s). This is for fun!
There is no order to which you need to do the prompts. You can also sub in different words if one doesn’t vibe with you, as well as skip days.
Similarly, you can return to older prompts at a later date to complete them at your leisure. There is no punishment for people who finish the challenge late. Your work will still be reblogged and shared.
Length of a prompt doesn’t matter! Write twenty or two thousand words.
Use the tag #seaswolchallenge or @seaswolchallenge so I can see what you have written! All completed works will be reblogged onto this blog. If you do not see your prompt, please shoot me an ask/im with the link
WE NOW HAVE A GOOGLE FORM. You can submit your story links here! This also counts for older works that were missed in previous rounds -- please let me share your stories.
All works will be queued to avoid spamming peoples’ dashboards. If you do not see your prompt right away, or it takes a few days from the initial post, this is why!
This challenge will run from 1 JAN and ( technically ) conclude on 30 JAN for those who do one prompt a day. As always, please feel free to reblog this and tag your friends to write with you!

“These classic magitek projection films are famous cult classics pulled from the archives deep under the Saint Reymanaud Cathedral. Where and why such films were made has yet to be told, but from the moment it was leaked through Eorzean underground media channels, it became a popular, unapologetically strange addition to the All Saint's Wake season. Make of it what you will.”

OOC Information
Unsung Adventures is an RP initiative to have more public overworld RP during EU-friendly times on the Crystal DC, with our main server being Balmung.
This magazine is a mixture of IC and OOC stories to celebrate the RPers that are out there with us and to keep people informed on what the Unsung are up to so it’s easier to jump into RP with us. It is the spiritual successor of WARK! Magazine and started by the same people.
Interested in the Unsung for RP and/or contributing to the magazine? Please check out our Carrd for information and our Discord link: UnsungAdventures.carrd.co

Battle of Paglth’an - Sunday May 16th @ 7pm EDT (Crystal DC)
Since the Telophoroi’s emergence, mysterious towers have appeared all across the Three Great Continents, with no doubt nefarious intent. As one of many measures taken in response, the Eorzean Alliance has commissioned a reserve regiment led by Flame Commander Khaleed Quartzwall, a veteran leader of both adventurers and soldiers alike, most famously during Operation Rhalgr’s Beacon.
Intermittent skirmishes against the Telophoroi at the frontier has seen little reason for the regiment’s activation and deployment...however, with a dark moon rising, the fates may have aught else in mind...
This military-themed MSQ event will take place in southern Thanalan as a “stand-in set” for Paglth’an’s Valley of No One and Zolm’ak Citadel. Uniformed soldiers and adventurers are heeded to answer the Alliance’s clarion call!
5.5 Part 1 spoilers goes without saying. All Crystal RPers are welcome to this event on the Balmung server. Read on to learn more!

The meeting point is the Immortal Flames encampment at X: 18.0 Y: 18.0 in southern Thanalan, just down from Little Ala Mhigo on Balmung. In-character, this locale is also an Immortal Flames encampment, located in Paglth’an and serving as a staging area for the event regiment.
I need...
Co-GMs - Experience necessary, particularly with events that focus on teamwork, inclusivity, and action set pieces!
Soldiers and sworn adventurers from the Alliance armies - As a military operation, uniforms will be required, though the uniform requirements will pull from the wardrobes of multiple expansions.
Possible antagonists - This can be in the form of “NPCs” riding dragon or magitek mounts; due to the MSQ story situation, it is unlikely to be “RPvP”, but bad guy stand-ins to take down are welcome!
Photographer(s) - A photographer does not necessarily have to be a participant!
DJ - Someone to run the BGM for the event.

FAQ
How can a large-scale combat event even work?
I have led and co-led similar events before in the 2017-18 timeframe, alongside some fantastic GMs. The key is to have multiple GMs in constant communication with one another, prioritizing fun and heroics over anything else. Because an MSQ event already has a pre-determined outcome, the focus is on what is easiest for maximum enjoyment.
Examples of previous large-scale combat events I have led or co-led:
Liberation of Ala Mhigo #1, #2, #3, and #4 (RPvE, RPvP)
Operation Heavenly Hammer (RPvP)
The Second Grand Melee (RPvP)
The Calamity Returns (RPvE, RPvP)
What will the combat system be?
This is TBD, but will be a system that focuses on the above philosophy of “the most fun for the most amount of people”. For example, it may be a traditional roll vs roll when the event is split into smaller squadrons, but for the finale, all participants will be instructed to simply roll over a certain number then react accordingly. The latter system allows for grand scenes to take place, such as the heroes clashing with an indeterminately large number of enemies in a massive melee.
My character is super tough, a Warrior of Light, and has special permission from their Grand Company to wear what they want!
That’s great! But that’s not really how militaries work, where everyone must be uniform (geddit?). The focus of this event will very much be teamwork because it is a military operation, and not a series of lone wolves trying to pull off their ultimate attacks without regard to their compatriots. This allows for inclusivity, where everyone is given a role and purpose, and nobody is sidelined. Combat being directed by an IC leader enables this. Do not be put off by by the military theme or IC strictness; everyone is included and can be a hero with this style of event!
