From the two lovers that run the shop, to their menagerie of excitable creatures and pets. The staff aim to provide a friendly atmosphere and unique solutions to their customer's problems.

Luminary Exploratory Group (Free Company)

Lore

The Luminary Exploratory Group was initially founded by two lovers in the hope to find a cure for aether imbalances. As time went on the two discovered a love of delving into ancient decrepit ruins of lost civilizations. Rediscovering knowledge and techniques lost to the flow of time, in the hopes that their revival would benefit the current civilizations of the world. Adventurers with curious minds and stalwarts hearts are welcomed into the fold of the Luminary Exploratory Group at their request. Be you scholar or treasure hunter without a home to call your own, please do not hesitate to reach out to one or both of the proprietress in regards of recruitment.

OOC Explanation

The main OOC goal with the Luminary FC is to foster a community of players that enjoy multiple aspects of the game we call home! Be it RP or PVP we aim to provide a space where players can find other's interested in those activities and forge friendships. While RP is a cornerstone of our identity we also want to encourage participation in almost all forms of content.With that said, you can expect us to host RP events centered around the Apothecary that would be more typical of venue work. As well as events centered around expeditions where we will go diving into various forms of content with the IC goal of extracting information or artifacts! This could include things such as Raids, Field content or Dungeons! (We will not be rping during the actual encounters, just before and afterwards. We will not make other players who did not consent to our RP, audience to it.)As for the regular content you can expect we want to form a community that is ready to help with things such as daily roulettes, mount farming, treasure maps, pvp and more! The only thing that is really off the table for now is savage level content, beyond that we are happy and excited to help others experience the game with us!We are just starting this endeavor only having two official members at the moment. However we believe that community doesn't need to share an FC tag, so along with our friends that have made a home for themselves we would love if you join us in forming a community be it as an official member of Luminary or just someone that likes to hang out and play the game with us.

Rules and Guidelines

I.

Luminary is a 21+ FC and Venue: While both the Luminary FC and Venue are strictly SFW spaces, we want our members to have the ability to explore mature themes. With this in mind we have made the decision to not allow underage characters or players in our space.

II.

Respect is a requirement not a suggestion: All members and visitors are expected to be respectful at all times whilst at Luminary. We do not tolerate any form of harassment, hate speech or bigotry. Anyone that partakes in such things will be banned from the discord and in game space.

III.

Consent is king: All RP must be consented to by all parties, while we aim to encourage people to RP openly and comfortably. If a topic is deemed uncomfortable for those present. You will be asked to either move the RP into a private chat, or asked to take it elsewhere.

IV.

Practice polite roleplay etiquette: We ask participants to be polite in their RP which means we do not allow the following; God Modding, Metagaming, or Power Playing. If you have any questions about these rules feel free to reach out to venue owners!

V.

Keep the immersion alive: We aim to provide an immersive and fun experience, for this to be achieved we ask that visitors keep OOC chatter to a minimum in say chat. Please use tells or party chat for this kind of talk while in the venue.

VI.

Lorebending is okay, lorebreaking is not: Luminary seeks to enjoy RP in the medium of FFXIV lore. If you want to be from a small settlement that doesn't actually exist in game but is feasible in the world that's fine!

VII.

Most importantly have fun: At the end of the day, FFXIV and Luminary were made for people to have fun and make memories. All interactions in the venue and the FC should keep this goal in mind.
