“War’s one horrible, messy business, and more often than not its wake is as terrible as its coming, and yet the ravens will always be there to clean up what it leaves behind.”

Who we are:

Raven Heart <<RH-RP>> is an EU-based heavy roleplaying Free Company on Balmung (NA Legacy) server. Company rules can be found >>here<<. We have a personal discord server for our members to relax and chat in.

We offer a good variety of different RP events for members to take part in, ranging from a weekly meeting (attendance highly encouraged, yet not mandatory), in addition to contract/plot events, along with social get-togethers such as an All Saints’ Wake and other seasonal parties. Other casual RP can usually be found in and around our Mists Medium house! Thus, there are two RP nights each week on Wednesday and Saturday in the evening. 

What we do:

A Free Company managed and run by ex-soldier Thya Kahzuun, and privateer captain Vex Redain, Raven Heart is a well-reputed, sanctioned Free Company that operates as an auxiliary to the Eorzean Alliance. With the war between the city states of Hydaelyn and the Garlean Empire growing in intensity after the collapse of Garlean rule in Gyr Abania and Doma, and the increasing involvement and heroics of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, many of Raven Heart’s contracts are focused around the idea of cleaning up the threats that have been left unchecked across Hydaelyn, as well as helping those they can along the way, allowing the Alliance forces to worry not about the home front and recently liberated territories and to push forward in the war effort. 

If you think you’d like to take part and join the Ravens, contact Thya Kahzuun (Discord: Tea#3754), or Vexiras Redain (Discord: Vex#0458) in-game, on tumblr, or on discord!

What we do:

With the war between the city states of Hydaelyn and the Garlean Empire growing in intensity, as well as drawing the attention of independent organisations such as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, many of Raven Heart’s contracts are focused around the idea of cleaning up the threats that have been left unchecked across Hydaelyn, as well as helping those they can along the way. Though the company has made its fair share of enemies along the way, which often makes completion of its contracts all the more difficult… But the rewards just that much better.

What we’re looking for:

Mercenaries: Whether you fight with an axe, a sword, a gun, a staff, or a different weapon all together, Raven Heart is always looking for the able-bodied and highly skilled to join its ranks. There’s no better feeling than saving the realm, along with a good payout.

Adventurers: Filled with wanderlust and a sense of adventure, or perhaps wanting to be remembered for great deeds? Our contracts will take you across Hydaelyn, along with the promise of pay and renown at the end.

Supporting staff: As with any venture, non-combatants and support staff are always required, particularly those with business, or crafting skills. After all, battles aren’t just won on the field, and gil can get you anywhere. Healers: Knowledge of conjury or arcanima? Or perhaps you’re simply a chirurgeon or traditional healer? As with any fighting Free Company in Eorzea, battles can get intense, and afterwards there’s more than a fair share of healing to go around. Raven Heart is particularly looking for healers to complete its roster.

Community members! Raven Heart is more than just a Free Company, and while it is our focus we don’t always expect our members to be playing Final Fantasy XIV! Members can usually be found on voice chat playing a multitude of different games, we’re a group of friends who share a passion that surpasses only roleplaying and we’d love to have new additions to our little family. We also hold a company games night (usually) every friday night! Games played range from GTA to SCP: Secret Laboratory to Planetside 2, and more!

A pamphlet bearing the black and orange crest of Raven Heart sits before you, a common sight in many of the Adventurers’ Guilds, armouries, and Grand Company halls of the city-states of Eorzea and written in fanciful, gilt Eorzean script, seemingly originally by hand before being replicated by printing press. Opening it, you see the following:

As always, its been quite a while since our last correspondence, we do try to keep these from inundating the many taverns and guilds of Eorzea, after all... It’s been a wild few moons for the Ravens, and we’ve taken the opportunity to once again take our time to consolidate and build our roster, as well as the repertoire of skills at our disposal, and thus I’d like to extend a few warm welcomes to our newest Ravens! These brave souls and mighty ‘venturers are as follows: Khadir Mhori, an axe-wielding Xaela tactician from the Mountains of the Azim, Chakha Malaguld, an enthusiastic Xaelic greatsword user hailing from the Steppe, Ochacha Ocha, a Lalafellin Voidsent expert and learned scholar, Sage Masatake, a Raen ronin who has taken to wandering the path of the traveler, Khailan Buduga, a fiery spearbrother of the Buduga out to make his name as a monster hunter, and last but certainly not least, Izhar’a Noukai, an enigmatic and powerful Keeper mystic. We wish them all the best and hope that they are ecstatic as we are at including them into our little family. 

Read on for more information on our most recent contract in the cold west of Coerthas! 

Thank you for reading, and I hope this finds you in good health! May you ever walk in the light of the Crystal,

- Captain Vex Redain

Looking to bolster our ranks, the Ravens underwent a hiring drive throughout the city-states of Eorzea and those of Othard. As such we’ve welcomed the ‘Nobushi Extraordinaire’ Seska Tayuun, the mischievous Sultansworn L’kolmiska, and the mysterious blacksmith Temperance to the company, who’ve all completed their trials as of this sennight and are now considered full Ravens. 

In regards to recent contracts that the Company has undertaken, the Ravens found themselves contracted by two wildly different parties - the first, a Hingan lord, and the second, an Ishgardian Noble, both have gained the assistance of the company in solving their problems in the last moon, with a summary of both on the next page of this pamphlet.  Furthermore, If you think you’ve got what it takes to be a Raven, we’re recruiting! Find out more in the post >>here<< and contact one of the named individuals to submit an application today! 

We’re happy to announce that Raven Heart will be once again opening full recruitment in January, so have a look through our recruitment post >>here<< if you’re interested in signing up!

We’d also like to wish everyone a Merry Starlight and a Happy Heavensturn! May all your holiday wishes come true!

The past moon had been a busy one for the fledgling Raven Heart, with the members of the Company busying themselves with both work and social events throughout. The newest Ravens in particular, now embraced as full members of the Company, saw their skills put to the test; as well as their relationships with their new comrades in arms. A few Company meetings resulting in debates over subjects ranging from contractor morality to Xaela tribal habits. The first contract of note, a job in the South Shroud hunting a Dravanian Archeosaur that had broken free as it was being transported across Eorzea to parts unknown, and began a small rampage. Despite one Raven running afoul of a faulty portcullis in Quarrymill (and suffering quite severe injuries), the mercenaries managed to subdue and end the beast’s reign of terror, as short as it was, in time to make a good amount of gil and the Wood Wailer’s gratitude. 

The second contract saw a Goblin from Idyllshire, Greenox, contact the Company for the retrieval of a magitek device from some remnants of the Illuminati that still stalked the Hinterlands and the ruins of the Sharlayan colony. As it turned out, Greenox didn’t seek any magitek at all, with the true subject of her contract being her daughter, Veeflox, who had run off to join them and was wanted home. Fighting through some Illuminati guards and their (often faulty) Gobtek, Veeflox was eventually retrieved after a brief fight with a particularly large Vangob suit being piloted by the target herself. Veeflox was convinced to return to Idyllshire without further violence by Y’shenn and his famous golden tongue. All in all, The Ravens came out of the contract with full pockets, some extra Gobtek as a personal thanks, and one largely bruised ego... Mostly due to Veeflox’s insistence that Xau was on the heavier side of things.

Today marked the first Raven Tournament, in which the members of the Free Company engaged in a bit of friendly competition, with the winner being the wizened L’dhala Tia in an amazing comeback that definitely was not due to Vex’s need to inject a bit of dramatic flare into the tourney, or anything she touches. 

After a busy recruiting period, we’re both pleased and sad to announce that we’re closing off recruitment for the next month as we allow our new members to settle in. But follow our tumblr and keep an eye out for any notices here, on the RPC, or on the Balmung RP Network Discord in the near future as we’ll be recruiting again soon!
