The Stormslayer Trading Company

“By craft and by honor, we prosper.”

Est. in the Astral Year of 2022

Founded in the waning days of the Dragonsong War, the Stormslayer Trading Company was born of Ishgardian resolve. It now endures beneath the steady hand of the Lady Ophelia Fortemps-Stormslayer, who saw fit to carry forth her family's dreams—to unite artisans and traders under a single banner of integrity and purpose.Now headquartered upon the sunlit coasts of La Noscea, the Company thrives as a conduit of commerce and camaraderie. From the mines of Thanalan to the forges of Ishgard, and the bustling ports of Limsa Lominsa, The Company deals in fine goods, raw materials, and masterful craftsmanship, employing some of the most skilled hands and keenest minds across all of Eorzea.Here, one's worth is not measured by title or birthright, but by the craft of their hand and the strength of their word. Whether noble or commonborn, all who labor in honesty and heart find welcome within our ranks. For trade, after all, is the truest bridge between souls—and through it, we forge not only prosperity, but legacy.

We love developing storylines, building worlds, and helping others bring their characters to life. With year-round events and new opportunities always on the horizon, we welcome all who wish to grow, trade, and create alongside us.

Our Community Values

Showing Up MATTERS: Effort, consistency, and engagement matter more to us than you have the nicest, most up-to-date Carrd/RP Hub Profile. Don't just write your backstory and expect us to read it before RPing with you. Be ready to answer questions and have a real conversation with us. Treat every encounter in our community as if the person you are talking to has no idea who you are and what you want. (Even if they do.) We don't mind if you are new or rusty in RP, but showing up to events and being part of our community in Discord/game will help you feel more like a part of it, and who knows where your character may end up with us?THINK BEFORE YOU RP! Your Actions have Consequences! : If your character makes bold or reckless choices, consequences will follow. That’s not us being unfair; that’s the story working as intended. It’s your responsibility to navigate or repair what your character creates and/or breaks. Also, if your character is an asshole to everyone, you don't get the right to cry when people don't engage with your character, or if people bite back at your attitude. That is a problem for YOU to resolve, not the community.We love you all - but this ain't VR Chat. Please don't treat it as such: This is a SFW 18+ Community. We are all adults, with lives and jobs outside of Eorzea. We enjoy hanging out OOC, but please respect our time and come prepared to RP when engaging with us in character. We don’t mind if you are rusty or slow with your responses, but respect the time, respect the RP.Ishgardian Founded - But Not Ishgardian RP Strict: We are a community founded in Ishgard, with ties in Ishgard, and a reverence for Ishgardian Culture. But unlike many of our counterpart Ishgardian communities, we do not have “required styles of writing” and/or a “rigid lore/crystal rule” compliance protocol that we hold our members to. If you’re very rigid in your roleplay style or lore set, we may not be the right fit for you. (And that’s ok!!) We, as a community, are very much committed to allowing you the freedom to tell your story your way, with minimal interference.We're Open to The Weird - So Long as it Makes Sense! - We, as an RP community, do not mind characters who play non-traditional style characters/NPC Variant characters. (Voidsent, First World, Ancients, Scions, etc.) That said, we will question lore and get to know your character if something doesn't make sense. Not to be cruel, but because internal logic matters. Please do your homework, because we will ask you to show your work.Team RLACF is strongly encouraged and honored: We are big followers of the "Real Life Always Comes First" philosophy here. Please communicate if you are in the middle of scenes/story arcs if you need support to step away, but know that we aren't going anywhere. The RP will be here when you are ready to come back. In the same vein: Eat real food, drink water, take your meds, go outside and take walks, talk to non-gamer people, PLEASE FUCKING SLEEP. These are all important to the well-being and quality of your RP, so please make sure to do that!

Hati's Fish and Tackle Shops

Luwalhati traveled from her home in Malaya, in the Anguna Archipelago, in search of new opportunities after a series of events caused her to leave her homeland. In pursuit of that new opportunity, she decided to put her angling hobby to use and became a fishmonger to supplement her income from mercenary work and from being a part-time crew member for merchant sailors.It has now led to the creation of two amazing shops, one in The Goblet with Community Grandmother Lady Senkyo and her very own Fish Emporium in The Mists.

The Crimson Standard

The Crimson Standard set sail in February 2025. We're a cross-datacenter roleplay hub for anyone drawn to Limsa Lominsa, Vylbrand, and the waters beyond.
