The mercenaries of Soul of the Sword are dedicated to providing a place for wayward souls to gather and form a community dedicated to aiding one another in the paths they walk."Forged by bonds in battle and brought together with a common goal to help people all across the breath of the land, Soul of the Sword was formed by Sin Faye and Casa Kai to be a home for every person with a noble and adventurous heart. Even the truest of bonds can shatter however, as both the sword and the soul of the company clashed as they were thrown in a spiral of events out of their control.Culpora Norwood brought the company back from the edge of collapse along with the help of a new management team. Despite her reclusive and distant nature, she maintained an iron grip on the company from the shadows and helped to steer it to a new golden age. Now our company is ever evolving, expanding our reach and our clientele, as well as furthering our own causes. Our company serves not only Eorzea, but our own members as well. Expect to find members willing to help you on the path you choose to walk so that you do not have to walk it alone.Be it steel or or magic, if you seek a place to venture and call home, then we hope your soul burns bright too."

rules !

Soul of the Sword encourages roleplay creativity and enjoyment with FFXIV's vast, and ever expanding, lore. However, the list below are some in-character concepts that Soul of the Sword will not accept. Our goal is to be on the same page from a narrative perspective when writing the general lore/theme of scenes.

In-Character .

o1. No Warriors of Light or Scions.
o2. Echo users, primal slayers, or MSQ raid participants.
o3. Faction leaders.

You can be a noble, wealthy, or a leader of a non-specific group or company.
But you cannot be a different version of "Kan-E Senna", for example.

o4. Voidsent.

We will discuss if you have void aspects with your character, but we will NOT accept outright voidsent-characters.

o5. Classes that are lore restricted.

You can use certain abilities from those classes upon discussion. Black Mage requires further discussion.
Do so at your own peril.

o6. Indestructible or immortal characters.
o7. Powergaming.

If you are caught forcing actions or god-mode’ing another player you will be removed.

o8. Allagan constructs or engineered organics.

No walking Magitek Andoirds or Machines, no living robots, and no 2B-like androids, just to name a few.

o9. No Regulator Resurrection.

With current FFXIV Lore, resurrection is possible with the use of Regulators. However, while lore permits this possibility, Soul of the Sword does not. There are in-character implications that come with using souls to come back from the dead and the Leaders are not willing to entertain usage of regulators in such a manner.

1o. No Senseless Killing(Murder Hobo).

Our DMs work hard collaborating with each other and with the FC members to make a fun and engaging experience for everyone. We want you to act in character, but within reason. Respect the narratives provided.

If you break these rules enough times (barring the ones that will get you instantly removed) you will be pulled aside and talked to. We want to create a fun narrative for all of Soul of the Sword's members.We understand that FFXIV's lore is changing and taking a new direction that includes more technology than previous expansions, and if you're wanting to explore that direction, we ask that you do it on your own time and not involve the FC canon. Should you want to include members, and they consent to exploring it with you, it must be done separate to the FC canon.

Soul of the Sword welcomes allies, would-be applicants, and lurkers in our Discord. There are out-of-character rules to follow when joining our space and you are expected to follow them! Soul of the Sword endeavors to maintain a safe space for all.

Out-of-Character .

First and foremost, Soul of the Sword is an SFW FC.SFW means no pornographic, lewds, or otherwise highly suggestive speech or pictures along with not being racist or harassing another member. More on that further down.-Controversial topics will be avoided as to not cause conflict between our diverse members. Some topics, for example, are, but not limited to:
•Religion
•Politics
•RacismHarassment
Harassing other members, publicly or privately, will not be tolerated and will be dealt with swiftly and accordingly.
The Officers encourage attempting to settle disputes solo first, but if a conflict can not be settled, members should to come to any ranking Officer with any and all concerns toward this.Simply put, just don’t be a jerk to other members.Alt Characters
Soul of the Sword embodies a policy of 3 alts per member within the company.
You must enter a note in-game who your alt belongs to.When making an alt that will interact with the FC please run the general character idea by an FC leader or Officer so we can ensure that the new character you have made will fit in with the FC dynamic.

Channel Purpose
All channels should be used for their purpose. While shitposting and memeing is great fun for some it has its time and place and belongs there.SFW Conduct
As stated before we expect SFW channels to stay as such and will cover that in depth here.Cussing is okay. If you want to drop an F bomb, then drop some F bombs. It’s okay.
No one cares about your character's genitalia. Don’t talk about your character’s private parts. Period. That is 100% irrelevant to the RP of our FC. Should you find someone who does care, that can and will be expected to remain private.
Any other discussions on lewd topics should be kept entirely out of sfw channels as well as they also do not pertain whatsoever to FC RP.

Your nickname in the Discord should contain your IC-Character's name.

You are encouraged to familiarize yourself with the purpose and intent of each channel listed on the Rules channel within Soul of the Sword's Discord.

*Soul of the Sword reserves the right to add and edit rules accordingly.

ventures !

Every Saturday at 7:30pm CST.

Ventures are typically either a one-shot or story-arc adventures that all members and friends of the company are welcome to attend!
Groups are randomized and split as evenly as possible between our skilled DM staff. Our goal is to ensure that members are able to get as much interaction time as possible.
All the benefits of small-group RP with the comraderie of completing a job with your fellow company members!Soul of the Sword's Ventures use a simplified rolling system to encourage players to work together and focus on roleplaying, rather than keeping track of stats and extraneous data. Most actions require a single roll, and the DM works with the players to establish how successful an action is based on the result of the roll and how the player RPs their action.
Health and initiative are tracked by the DM for both the players and the enemies, so all players need to focus on is having fun and enjoying the ride!

For an in-depth guide on the D100 system used for Ventures, click below! Ventures can be combat or roleplay focused, depending on the DM and the flow of roleplay.
