    About Us

    The Crimson Blossom, Guildhall for the Ravens

    IC Information

    With its main location within the Ishgardian adventuring homes of the Empyreum and an additional "Hunter Hideout" over in the La Noscean beachside homes of the Mist, the Crimson Ravens Hunting Guild is set up with a single mission in mind: give a home to those willing to work with each other to slay monsters to protect others and get paid. Hiding various types of people across a multitude of locales across the star, the place is open for all (so long as one respects the space of those residing and visiting and keeps to lawful behavior).As a collective group of individuals, we have a variety of people for differing work, whether it your average run of the mill hunter, craftspeople for getting weapons and gear in good condition, those willing to look into those we fight and where they nest, and much more.There's room for just about everyone here, with a place to stay, food to eat, monsters to hunt, gil to earn, and experiences to have and share. The monsters aren't going to stick around and wait for us. Are you up to the task and willing to join us on the hunt?

    OOC Information

    As a Free Company, the Crimson Ravens Hunting Guild (CR-RP) is one centered around a monster hunting guild working to get their name out and doing business to help keep people safe while earning gil and other materials on the side. We're of a moderate size, having been in operations for a year now. We run events on the regular, but understand that there's more to life than FFXIV, let alone roleplaying, so we don't have any heavy commitment requirement.We're open to people of varying roleplaying experience and are open to accepting people no matter which world they hail from or what they are like (as long as they aren't to the absolute extreme and/or overpowered). In addition, members can also opt to run their own events, whether they be small-scale hunts or larger monsters. In addition, there is no requirement to join the in-game FC to be a part of the group, so you can come on in without leaving your current FC or transferring worlds.

    The Guild

    Guildmaster

    Ichika Tsukigamine

    The head of the Guild itself, Ichika had spent her young years training as a priestess in a remote Hingan village before eventually reaching out into the open world. Both more than familiar with the hunt and medically recoginzed by Sharlayan (albeit before she took on this form, which is a whole other story), she is by all means friendly and reliable for assitance... whenever you can catch the all-too busy fox.

    The Officers

    Evoh Rhaal

    Shroud raised, she's less of a typical "Keeper" than you might expect. Skilled in the arts of the bow, twin blades and the eastern art of geomancy, she endeavors to one day be the best hunter on the star and publish her notes on monsters into her own bestiary. Until then, she's working with the Ravens and Clan Centurio to accomplish this. Beyond that, she is skilled in the culinary arts, as well as alchemy and survival.

    Helios Silberfluegel

    A gifted Miqo’te from Limsa Lominsa, fate paved the way for him to earn a scholarship as a kit to study at the Studium in Sharlayan, where he honed his trade in smithing, learned the ways of archaeology and engineering, and trained to be an official Sage. While his work was mainly exploring Allagan ruins and creating metal works, his combat prowess are just as precise. He took part in the rescue efforts in Garlemald before the Tower of Babil launched the aether surge at the moon. These days he runs his own workshop on Vylbrand and through Blitzball gained the title of Frost Fiend for his versatility with ice Aether.

    OOC Rules

    1. Content Warning: This is meant to be an 18+ FC due to the fact that hunting can get rather dangerous at times, as well as some levels of suggestive and dark themes, depending on the event. Therefore, we must ask for all people present here to be of age, both as a player and as a character. That said, Members must be at least 21 years of age to join the Guild.2. Keep the Drama at the Door: This group will likely contain people of varying opinions, and will positive discourse can be allowed to better ourselves as people, we don't want to see the channels explode with drama. If you end up getting beef with someone, take it to the admins over DMs and we'll see if we can settle it. Just don't be a bother to the rest of us members.3. Don't Be An Ass: Includes any sort of bigotry (sexism, homophobia, transphopbia, ableism, etc), and comments that could be seen as bullying or putting down others. Keep in mind that when you're in text channels, it's harder for people to 100% understand the meaning of your words as they don't hear a voice or look at a face (unless you post an emote for your words). Just keep in mind what you say, and you should be fine. In the end, we simply ask you follow the Golden Rule of treating others how you'd like to be treated.4. No Politics: It can especially be hard these days with internet echo chambers, but this is not a place to be making political points. Please keep your views to yourself.5. Keep OOC/IC separate: This should be self explanatory, but for those who need it to be explained. Keep OOC away from IC and vice versa.6. Your own personal health is more important than rping: Cannot stress enough how important this is. If you are not in the best place, we expect you to look after yourself and do whatever you find fun. If you need to step away for a time, please reach out to us so we can know.
    7. Communication is Key! If you have any need to step away from the game or RP for whatever reason, for a prolonged period of time, please be certain to let one of the officers know. We understand that people may be busy, but without letting us know about it, we may think you simply do not wish to take part in things here.    As an extra disclaimer, we understand that while there are plenty who use mods/third-party tools, understand that it is against FFXIV's Terms of Service and that if you do choose to use such tools to do so at your own risk. As such, please do not talk about such things in-game with us.

    Guild Tenants

    1. Never Hunt Alone: None of us, from the Ravens, to the Guildmaster herself, is some all-powerful individual capable of felling primals on our own or preventing calamities of sheer scale. Don't be going out into danger alone, especially if it's something highly powerful and a threat to your life.2. Respect the company hierarchy: The Crimson Ravens falls under a set hierarchy that goes as follows:
    - Guildmaster: The head of the company. Has the final say in matters and operates the Ravens as a whole. The current holder of this title is Ichika Tsukigamine.
    - Officers: Those consisting of advisors to the company head, as well as company officers. These currently consist of Evoh Rhaal and Helios Silberfluegel
    - Crimson Ravens: The ranking of the company consisting of our veteran members.
    - Ravens: The base rank of the company that consists of our members.    3. We are NOT vigilantes: We follow through on activities as close to lawfully as we can. We try to keep in line with the rules of the land, but we know that there will be instances in which we have to do something criminal to get the job done. That said, members are not to commit unlawful acts in relation to our operations unless we have no other choice. Even if our clients are not that much fans of the law, we still won't be following in their path.4. If you don't know what to do, contact one of the higher ups: Whether it be trouble or counseling, don't be afraid to contact us. All we ask is that you don't go into this thinking that you can't reach out to us.

    Our discord is open to anyone, guests and members alike. In addition, membership is not required to take part in hunts or RP. That said, full discord, CWLS, and in-game FC access (should that be something you're looking for) are locked behind turning in an application and having it accepted. While it is possible to apply without initially joining the discord server, we recommend doing so and contacting an officer so we can get to your application faster!

    Hunting Board

    - Hunt rewards are IC gil.
    - The hunts are meant to give ideas for hunting RP for both FC members and fellow guests, though you are free to make use of it as pop-up RP. If you're at our Guild Night, you're free to take the bill and speak with someone with an LFM icon next to their name about taking interest in the hunt.
    - We keep track of who takes what, so feel free to take your time gathering people to take on your monster, whether it be during Guild Night or outside of Guild Night hours.
    - Note that we update our listings during guild hours to reflect which hunts have been taken. If the listing is crossed out, it has been taken.
    - Finally, we have a limit of taking up to 3 marks at a time. While we like seeing the board cleared, we would like to make sure work is given around to more than just a single group.

    Beginner Marks

    Weapons of Mass Disarmament

    Wanted: "Rip-n'-Tear"
    Client: Clan Centurio
    Last Spotted: Dravanian Forelands, Avaloania Fallen    What seems to be an issue lately with some folks coming into the Forelands from Idylshire, is that they seem to be getting jumped by a group of hippogryphs. While those prepared against the equipment-wrecking monsters would be able to handle stuff, an abnormal variant being dubbed "Rip-n'-Tear" for its ability to tear away even some incredulously strong metallic materials, has been leading a roaming pack of them across Avalonia Fallen. Considering parts of their bodies are used for leather and tools, the question has been asked whether Rip-n'-Tear could have some strong weapons be made from its body.

    Scavenger Hunt

    Wanted: Camoflauged Fungar
    Client: The Adventurer's Guild
    Last Spotted: Central Shroud    Adventurers fresh off the block are getting attacked just outside of Gridania by some sort of large but camoflagued funguar. Should be easy pickings once found, but tracking it down and finding where it is amongst the flora and fungi look to be the trival matter in this case.

    Intermediate Marks

    Wanted: Barzangi

    Client: Radiant Host
    Last Spotted: Thavnair, Night's Watch    The Radiant Host has been receiving reports of a pisaca that has seemingly claimed Night's Watch as its territory and has been making gathering materials for local alchemists very difficult. The Radiant Host wish to see this creature slain after claiming the lives of five young alchemists, although Lady Naishotani has offered a generous bonus for the delivery of the creature's corpse to her. Further details of the delivery to be provided upon acceptance.

    Sabotender Shuffle

    Wanted: Sabotender Family Reunion
    Client: Dawn Hunt
    Last Spotted: Shaaloani    A cactuar collector ended up losing their many varieties of cacti into the wilderness of Shaaoani and it's causing a ruckus to rroneek riders going through the area. Capture is recommended for all the loose ones, and extra pel is being rewarded for capturing a nopalitender within the bunch.

    Advanced Marks

    Wanted: Shahmaran

    Client: Radiant Host
    Last Spotted: Thavnair, The Font of Maya    Locals at Palaka's Stand have been terrorized by a rather cunning serpent they have taken to calling Shamaran. What makes this bhujamga stand out among the others is it has a unique trait of being able to "spit" a caustic substance to defend itself. While the Radiant Host would like for the creature to be captured by the alchemists for study, Lady Naishotani is offering a generous bonus for the delivery of the corpse. Further details of delivery will be provided upon acceptance of the job.

    Necrotic Wake

    Wanted: Necrotic Chigoe
    Client: Clan Centurio
    Last Spotted: East and South Shroud    As of late, the tunnels leading between the southern and eastern sectors of the Shroud have become littered with necrotized bodies of adventurers and traders heading through. Those who have gone through the pathways and lived to tell the tale note of some mutated chigoe that have been injecting their victims with what seems to be a fast-acting necrotic toxin. Let's pray that these vilekin don't have the idea to reproduce in their current state...

    Hydroelectric Scavenging

    Wanted: Lady of the Lake
    Client: Resolution
    Last Spotted: Heritage Found, Submerged Skyline    With some recent openings thanks to the Guild's Alexandrian contact, there has been a request for hunters to assist in Archaeo-Alexandria. Apparently some reforgers may have found something of historical importance for the region and wish to bring it back to safety for study. Alas, there's some sort of serpent slipping through the area and it's also electrifying the submerged skyline wherever it slides. All hunters are to practice due caution and try to stick to both inside and on top of the buildings when possible.

    Elite Marks

    Grave of the Fireflies

    Wanted: Itsuwari no Hikari
    Client: Namai
    Last Spotted: Yanxia, North of Namai    In recent weeks, the rice fields north of Namai have been getting more and more haunted with each passing day, with most people believing it has something to do with a strange firefly that showed up, with some believing that it is actually the restless spirit of one who passed during the Garlean occupation and refuses to move on. Thinking this is to be the case, locals have been wanting to have capable handlers capture the source of the hauntings to it can be exorcised and able to pass on peacefully.

    Of Corse It's Running Wild!

    Wanted: Carnevalle Corse
    Client: The Masked Carnevalle
    Last Spotted: Ul'dah and Western Thanalan    So someone brought in a corse for the Masked Carnevalle aaaand... it's gone. Apparntlt the guy who brought it in wants it alive, but considering it is currently running wild in and outside the city (though thankfully thanks to the Flames, it's not near any population centers), capture is entirely optional. If anyone asks why this is happening in the first place? Money.

    Shattered Skies

    Wanted: Khurdan Ăśkhel
    Client: Clan Centurio
    Last Spotted: The Azim Steppe, Path of the Craven    There seems to be a new apex predator in the Azim Steppe: a deathgaze that has been going mighty fast and striking down anything - and witnesses mean anything, even innocent wildlife to fierce yol - for sport. Given this one seems to have invaded out of nowhere, a hefty amount of gil/koban is being offered for the slaying of this rapidly approaching cloudkin.
