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 typical criminal organization or a "grey-morality" FC: our crimes are committed primarily 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 and encourage 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 — 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, and alternate between major RP events and more relaxed evenings. When nothing is scheduled for an event night, clanmates are free to run any activities they want.The Volante Clan Hall is located at Mateus, Mist, Ward 27, Plot 53.

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 (everyone is the hero of their own story)
- White Mages (the Job Quests make it clear there are no others)
- Connections with major NPCs

LOST LANDSGUARD CHARGED WITH THEFT, SMUGGLING, AND TREASON

The Harbour Herald, 17th 4U 14 7AETULIYOLLAL — The Landsguard have begun their preparations for a court martial against one of their own, who was reported MIA after the appearance of the Alexandrian dome. Rral K'an was apprehended by unknown actors in Yyasulani, and connected to numerous counts of the theft and smuggling of Turali artifacts.Once a rising star among the Landsguard's vipers, Rral K'an left for Yyasulani as a young woman under the command of Zoraal Ja. She now faces trial in Tuliyollal as a much older woman, having spent three decades trapped beneath the dome. The full extent of her crimes is still under investigation, but authorities are already making connections to other smuggling activities uncovered in Yok Tural and Shaaloani in the past year.

EXPLOSION AT ABANDONED CASTRUM EXPOSES SMUGGLING RING, GARLEAN ARMS DEALING

The Raven, 14th 5A 14 7AEPORTA PRAETORIA — A tremendous explosion in the formerly Garlean-occupied Castrum Abania rocked the Peaks yestereve. The incident led to an official investigation by the Ala Mhigan Resistance, which discovered that the facility was being used by smugglers for black market activity and arms dealing. Two dozen suspects were apprehended.The smugglers were using repurposed Garlean military vehicles to transport goods across Gyr Abania and into Ilsabard, sources claim. Other abandoned Garlean outposts in the region are being investigated as well, and ties to potential Eorzean accomplices are being considered. An eyewitness in Radiata also claimed to have spotted a red chocobo hurl a meteor at the smugglers' convoy, but no such beast has been found or spotted since.

SYNDICATE PULLS INVESTMENT FROM GYR ABANIAN FACTORY PROJECT

The Raven, 26th 1A 14 7AEALA GHIRI — A large planned manufactory in the Peaks of Gyr Abania was sabotaged last night by the "Stormers," a local paramilitary led by Khalid Storme. The Prospero Group, a Gridanian investment firm, had been planning the factory since last year, and had also been managing agricultural services in the region for several moons. The factory was to be built in the remains of Specula Imperatoris, and would have employed five hundred people to produce a wide range of products.Lord Lolorito, Chairman of the East Aldenard Trading Co., and Fyrgeiss Loetkilbsyn, Chief Foreman of Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern, announced the formal withdrawal of investment from the project after the sabotage. Neither could be reached for comment."This is a travesty of industry and economic progress," said Aidrocheux Vaulfaire, chariman of the Prospero Group. "This incident simply displays how a narrow-minded minority of Ala Mhigans reject the notion of future growth and peaceful vocation, much preferring the harsh conditions of imperial occupation."

KUGANE IN CHAOS! VIOLENCE SPIKES IN POSSIBLE GANG WAR

The Harbour Herald, 23rd 1U 14 7AEKUGANE — The single port open to foreign trade in Hingashi has temporarily lost its legendary hospitality, as instances of violent crime and conflict spread throughout the city today.Sekiseigumi officials have reported numerous cases of attempted and successful murder, and multiple armed skirmishes taking place between individuals of criminal association. At the time of writing, 17 people have been reported dead, with at least 60 more injured. The largest concentration of violent incidents occurred in the Rakuza Distict, a major center of Kugane's commercial activity.The causes of this latest violent spree remain uncertain, but officials suspect that tensions between rival yakuza groups came to a head. "Those who live in the shadow of lawful society speak only in anger," stated Sakaragi Hana, Sekiseigumi captain. "And when anger inevitably fails to bring compromise, violence follows."

EORZEAN MINING CAMP DESTROYED IN SHAALOANI

The Mythril Eye, 1st 3U 14 7AESHESHENEWEZI SPRINGS — Local authorities are investigating the destruction of a mining camp in northwest Shaaloani after reports of a catastrophic explosion yestereve. While no suspects have been identified, the Dustwatch have named the victims of this sabotage. Brimming Heart Survey Co., owned and operated by one Einar Bloodstone, secured a permit to conduct an ecological survey of the region last moon. Tuliyollal officials are now reviewing these permits after the true purpose of Bloodstone's survey was revealed: an Eorzean-led ceruleum prospecting operation, backed by Amajina & Sons. The company had hired the Silverscales mamool ja mercenaries as security, after the group's expulsion from the Wanderer's Palace."The natural welfare of Shaaloani, and Tural at large, is of the utmost priority," said Kemakka, sherriff of the Dustwatch. "Those who come across the salt hoping to profit off of our land are due a stark reminder that we don't tolerate such scoundrels in these parts." Einar Bloodstone and Fyrgeiss Loetkilbsyn were reached for comment, though none have been provided at time of publication. Brimming Heart Survey Co. has withdrawn from the region, and all current and future permits to cross Zorgor the Boundless have been revoked.

MIND-CONTROL MUSIC SCHEME EXPOSED

The Raven, 29th 3U 14 7AESOLUTION 9 — FulgreBlaze Records, responsible for fielding such artists as Tanzenite and Paranoia, was exposed through leaked documents to be engaging in mind-altering technology. Using psychokinetic frequencies layered in the backing tracks of popular hit songs, the label sought to influence listeners to purchase albums, merchandise, and tickets at a fever pace. This scheme was supported by the private engineering company TemTech, which had previously worked alongside the Alexandrian military in developing defense technology.The scheme fell apart during an impromptu concert held by Tanzenite, where the artist debuted his newest single, "Wings Out and Fly." The initial audience response was rabidly negative, causing concertgoers to flee, and even engage in hostilities. FulgreBlaze agent Granite and TemTech chief officer Temet were harmed in the ensuing clash, primarily by assaulting each other after the leaks were published on all Everkeep social channels.FulgreBlaze has issued a public apology for any dissatisfaction from fans, and proclaimed the immediate resignation of Granite and the release of Tanzenite from the label. Temet announced TemTech's bankruptcy at the same time, citing sudden financial difficulties as a result of the leaks.

MYTHRIL MINE SKIRMISH LINKED TO ARMS DEALERS, INVESTIGATIONS ONGOING

The 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.
