[Balmung] Shirogane Shogatsu Street Festival Saturday, Jan 4th - 7-10:30pm est Akanezaka Markets, Shirogane, Ward 6

First, I want to start by saying, I love this community. The love and support you gave to this was amazing. We had so many people help out with this event, it will be hard to really tag everyone, so I apologize if I forget any tags specifically.  Kupocon was one of those, on the fly, out of the Sriracha Showdown hype, creations. It was something that could have been a hit or a miss, but boy, oh boy, was it a hit. The amount of people that came to this event was phenomenal. It is always impossible to get a headcount at these things, but there were 24 entries into the cosplay contest, and boy were they all so creative and amazing!

I want to start by thanking those very people, the attendees. You are all the backbone of the events and are what make these such a success, and worth hosting. The amount of energy the attendees pour into this is outstanding and is slowly becoming something that I am living for.

Next, I want to thank those who stepped up to help us in our time of need. Our amazing security, vendors, hosts, panelists, idols, and DJs. You brought life to this event that made it feel like an actual con. I woke up this morning with an absolute ‘morning after’ feel. You all have proven that our Data Center as a whole has kind of curated its own little culture of celebrities. It was great seeing some of them mingle. One of them was even cosplayed! 

As the seasons change, and the leaves grow gold, bronze and copper, so too do we put another issue of WARK! before our readers. I hope you don’t mind me a little bit of purple-fancy, but I always get a little romantic around this time of the year. It feels as if the world itself is relaxing into its warm bed. Despite the commotion that’s taken hold around us, I can only say I admire the efforts put toward reflection on what we are thankful for. For me, it’s flowery words, calm evening and the opportunity to share these tales and happenings with your, dear reader.

Signed, Editor-in-Chief Charlette Bellamy

What is it?

 A Network available to all Criminal FC’s/LS’s/Freelance leadership groups to gather together from all across the Crystal Data Center and organize events, turf wars, drug trade, ect! Each group that joins the discord will be assigned their own custom rank or a ‘freelancer’ status for those who do not belong to any Free Company or Linkshell or Fellowship. 

We have the Discord already set up, and also a Fellowship available for invites!

How do we get in? 

Right here! It’s a simple 4 question prompt that gives us the time to create your role in the discord community–this is NOT an application process, this is just purely so we can have our ducks in a row and give you the proper representation for your community. For instance, we have a Court of Thieves rank for those representing the Court of Thieves and so on!

What if I’m not leadership of a FC/LS/Fellowship and I’m on my own?

The Freelance position is open to you!! It’s my hope that in offering the Freelance position in the discord, it could make way for your freelancer to find events that your character fits into better, and who knows, maybe even join one of the communities you see!

Where?

The Underground Network is available across every server on the Crystal Data Center! 

Questions? Concerns? 

Send me a message either here or on my discord: Raih#1443 !

On the surface, 

The Sanguine Shadow has grown! From a humble speakeasy in the wall to a full blown lounge and pool hall known for its famous wings of Ifrit!,signature drinks, jazzy tunes and the occasional entertainment for the general public.

However, for those with either a keen eye, or the right connections, The Sanguine Shadow’s building serves a double-purpose— steady income, and the public front for the underground operations of the family that resides there. — 

The Eorzean Mafia.

For the Innocent - The family offers protection services or even simple help especially if these civilians are on Mafia turf or even close friends.

For the powerful and the Underworld -  Thievery, extortion, racketeering, spying, information-gathering, drug dealing, smuggling, settling underworld disputes(even the underworld needs a code), assassination—these are but some of the things that The Family offers.

Above all else, The Family takes care of its own.

Family comes first and foremost their top priority, and even beyond the desire for gil and action that drives the members of the Mafia to seek to apply their trade, they look out for one another in all that they do—their unwavering loyalty and camaraderie to the family triumphs over all, and they will stop at nothing to ensure that this remains so.

Blood is thicker than water.

| To betray The Family and go back on not only one’s contract, but one’s oath, is not something that is taken lightly, and those that do face punishments far worse than a simple death.|
