COUNTERFEIT SMUGGLER BUSTED

Harbour Herald, 6th 4A 13 7AEALEPORT — Berkund, an alleged smuggler from Aerslant, was caught in a Yellowjacket raid attempting to bring millions in counterfeit gil into Eorzea. His ship had been badly damaged by his drunkenly carousing crew, while he was absent in Limsa Lominsa for reasons unknown.Berkund's shipping manifest differed greatly from the cargo present in the hold, mislabelling the counterfeit gil as "crystals" and missing several stated items such as unrefined auracite and black mythril. An accomplice who allegedly fled the ship was later delivered to Yellowjacket custody, and is reported to be cooperating with authorities.Investigation is ongoing into an impromptu Masked Carnivale performance that took place in the center of town the same night, which caused some mild civil disorder.

RED CHOCOBO DESTROYS HUNTING CAMP

The Raven, 25th 4U 13 7AETAILFEATHER — The tranquility of Dravania's forests has been brutally demolished by death from above! A red chocobo, native to distant Dalmasca, is running free through the Chocobo Forest around Tailfeather, wreaking havoc as it goes. A hunting camp was wiped out by the fiend, causing Ishgard to raise an official investigation into the local wild chocobo population.The destroyed camp was led by Orleant Blackbow, who was taken into custody by the hunters of Tailfeather for alleged smuggling, poaching, and illegal hunting practices. Sources claim that Blackbow's band were hunting nesting chocobos, and baiting bandersnatches to destroy nests with eggs. Blackbow could not be reached for comment.Recent evidence published in Ul'dah alleges that Blackbow was smuggling chocobos for use in chocobo racing hosted by the Gold Saucer.

LUXURY SKYSHIP RAIDED, TECH STOLEN

Mythril Eye, 21st 5A 13 7AESEA OF CLOUDS — The Cheval Blanche, a luxury skyship, was raided by sky pirates in the Sea of Clouds. The ship was hosting a "Gala of Technological Progress", exhibiting such wonders as an Allagan node, a custom airship engine, an "exotablet" used in Sharlayan expeditions, and a block of the exceedingly rare metal electrope.The sky pirates boarded, seizing captives and the technological loot. While a handful of passengers were injured, no casualties occurred, and all captives were returned unharmed. The items stolen remain missing, with Temple Knights welcoming any potential leads.Tiphionne Alverais, the primary backer of the Cheval Blanche's construction and host of the Gala, expressed sincere gratitude for adventurers who managed to rescue her from the sky pirates, but refused to identify such saviors.

S1 CSQ 4: The Unfinished Business Job

MYTHRIL MINE SKIRMISH LINKED TO ARMS DEALERS, INVESTIGATIONS ONGOING

Mythril Eye, 20th 5U 13 7AECAMP BLUEFOG — Signs of an arms deal gone awry in an abandoned Amajina & Sons mining site have the Immortal Flames on alert, still looking for answers. Sometime during the night, a battle occurred between unknown factions, resulting in extensive signs of damage, but almost no bodies. Hyur-sized mammets in hooded robes were found in various states of disrepair, having suffered damage from weapons and spellcraft alike. One body was uncovered in a shallow grave dug in the mines, though its identity is classified at this time.Authorities state that while little is known for certain and investigations are ongoing, criminal activity is heavily suspected. Although the Lambs of Dalamud cult, which has long had a presence in the region, is a suspect, the Immortal Flames have not found conclusive evidence that would link the cult to this incident.

Clan Volante is in the business of providing second chances, helping those unable to help themselves, and taking down those who believe they are beyond reproach. To do so, however, they outplay their marks at their own game: lying, cheating, and stealing better than those who lie, cheat, and steal. Sometimes, bad guys make the best good guys.

About the Clan

Clan Volante is a good-aligned, but not particularly lawful, Free Company, a band of vigilantes, scoundrels, and misfits who work to make the world a better place. We do that mainly by beating the bad guys at their own game, scheming against and stealing from those who scheme against and steal from others. We are not a criminal organization or a "grey-morality" FC: our crimes are committed purely in the pursuit of justice, and our moral stance is very much benevolent.Our main storyline, the Clan Story Quest (CSQ), is a structured, player-driven, persistent narrative, following the Clan as it takes on jobs, expands its reach, and deals with rivals and the law. Major RP events are designed and dictated by the actions and choices of FC members, and there is plenty to do in the Downtime between events.Outside of the CSQ, Clan Volante also encourages members to run Personal Stories of their own, calling upon their clanmates to use their skills to win the day. So long as the core mission of the Clan is followed, we welcome you to tell your story with us.

What We Do

CLAN STORY QUEST (CSQ) — Participate in Clan Volante's mission with regular RP events, which shape an ever-changing world of intrigue! Your actions make a difference in a living, constantly-evolving story, driven by player agency and a bit of random chance.PERSONAL STORIES — Got a story you want to tell? Clan Volante welcomes player-run plotlines, which contributes to the Clan's overall story.OOC COMMUNITY — Content/Map nights, Movie nights, and more! We're a Clan not just IC, but OOC as well, building a safe and fun community together.

Event Nights

We run our events on Sundays starting around 9PM EST. When nothing is scheduled for an event night, clanmates are free to run any activities they want.We also regularly visit other venues to engage with stories and characters outside of the Clan, and enjoy a night to relax off the job with friends. Some of our favorite venues:– The Witch's Den (Tues., 9pm - 1am EST)
– Sage & Secrets (1st/3rd Thurs., 9:30 pm - 12:30 am EST)
– NightRaid Bounty Call (Biweekly Fri., 9pm - 12am EST)

Core Rules

– All members must be at least 18 years old.– Treat everyone with respect. We have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination and bigotry of any kind.– Observe and respect user pronouns. This is a safe and welcoming space for all identities.– Presume good faith in disagreements. Ask for clarification or mediation when necessary.– The willful use of generative AI of any kind is not tolerated. This includes images, videos, music, text, or any other medium generated by AI.

RP Rules

– People are not their characters. Do not conflate IC words and actions with OOC.– RP with consideration. "Yes And" has limits, so practice OOC communication, consent, and aftercare.– Share the space. Accept the outcomes and consequences of your character's actions. God-modding and meta-gaming are not tolerated.– You are responsible for fitting your character into a scene. Consider the motivations and desires of both your character and others', and avoid character concepts that disrupt the FC's premise, such as amoral or villainous characters.– Maintain lore-plausibility and immersion (see the guidelines below). If you use shared third-party assets to alter your character's appearance, any part of that appearance vital to the character must be able to be represented in-game and visible to those without shared third-party assets.

RP Guidelines

We follow a general guideline of staying "Lore-Plausible" in our roleplay. In other words, if you can point to something in lore to support a concept, then it can fly with us. We're willing to bend things a little to enable a greater variety of characters and stories, and welcome creative ways to use the existing setting. Invented concepts without a solid lore basis are more difficult for us to incorporate into our story.

There are some exceptions to this guideline that we cannot recognize in our space, for the sake of player immersion and general lore compliance:- Warriors of Light
- White Mages
- Connections with major NPCs
