Oft They Told Of Wondrous Love

She hated this day of the year, the time when she’d run away from everything else. That dreaded sign to her, of impending end, and her failures of her past... Indeed, it was time for her birthday once more. Normally, she’d lock the door to her room, with a bottle of whatever she could grab, and the finest drugs she could score for the day... But not today. No, today she was dragged out and back to a familiar looking cabin tucked away in the back of the shroud. 

Her Grandmother’s cabin had stood the test of time, vines creeping upon it’s side as if they land itself wanted to merely reclaim the stolen land. A single dim light lit inside, as Aedwen stood outside of the door with the letter in her hand. The warmth of the spring air in the shroud made her feel stuffy within the adder’s coat she wore... And the humidity irritated at her sole blue eye. Slowly, her gaze panned down to the letter in her hand with a somber frown.

What am I doing?

Her mind raced with the thought as she unfolded the letter for perhaps the hundredth time as she looked down at it. The hand writing carried her grandmother’s elegance, but the words upon it were sweeter than the elderly woman’s heart had shown when they had met again. Her brow furrowed as she exhaled heavily and shook her head.

This is a mistake. I’m going to open the door and have to deal with more damned judgement from her. That damned look in her eyes...

Her fist clenched tightly before she took in a deep breath, and sighed slowly. As much as she wanted to turn back and leave... As much as she wanted to pretend she could ignore this, she could not. As such, her right fist rose to tap her knuckles against the wood in a soft rhythmic manner. Greeted by silence alone, for what seemed a few dreadful eternities, the door soon opened before her.

“Well, there you are. Thought you forgot the way.”

Her grandmother’s sharp tone cut through the distance between them, as before Aedwen stood a shorter elderly woman. Her hair long since white, and tied back in a long fading tail, and face worn and tired with two striking blue eyes gazing at her. A soft tap from the flora filled staff the woman used as a cane, and they stepped to the side, before ushering Aedwen inside with a sweep of the arm.

“Well, don’t stand out there. You’ll catch your death.” 

You’d enjoy that, wouldn’t you?

Aedwen’s lips pulled into a small tense smile as the thought crossed her mind, and she walked her way inside. That familiar smell of lavender and rose buds greeting her as she tried to bury the forlorn memories behind her. The interior of the small cottage falling apart, slowly yet surely over time. Even a woman as determined and strong willed as her grandmother was still a victim of time...

The thought gave a small smile to her lips.

“My apologies, I had business to finish attending to. You know how it is after all, endless work to do.” A penance of work to be fulfilled to ease a guilty conscious.

A small huff left her grandmother. “You only have one day a year to celebrate yourself. Your mother would be disappointed you are treating it so dismissively.”

Aedwen’s lips pulled into a frown as she stood still amidst the room. The door closing behind her with a creak as her grandmother made her way back out, and moved forward to the kitchen without an additional word. Aedwen’s gaze slowly fell to the rickety table that awaited her, with two chairs, and two plates upon it. She remembered helping her grandfather gather the wood, and build the table. It had been the first time she had ever done any real carpentry work, and she had a fondness for it still.

That’d be the last thing she’d be disappointed with.

Her lips pursing gently as her gaze shifted from the table, before she cleared her throat gently.

“... When did Grandfather--”

“Four summers ago.” Her grandmother responded with a shout from the kitchen. “His heart failed him, and we buried him in the family grove.”

“I...” She caught on her words before yet another sigh left her. “... I am sorry.”

There was no reply at first, just a heavy grunt from within the kitchen as her grandmother made her way back out to the table. In her hands a fresh honey cake, with a small layer of frosting resting on the top, with two little candles. The sight... It hadn’t been what she was expecting, of all things. To see her carrying out a cake she hadn’t tasted since she was a child. Aedwen’s gaze stayed lowered, and her voice silent as she tried to think of what, if -anything- she could say.

“We planted his tree, right next to yours.” 

Her body froze, at that comment. Her family had a tradition, of burying their dead and planting a tree over them. To protect the body from predators, and nurture a new life into the twelves-wood.

“... My... Tree?” 

“Aye. I didn’t stutter. Yours doesn’t have a body under it though, so it’s a runt of the litter.”

“I--”

“You didn’t think we’d do that? You thought we’d think that the seventeen years old girl that ran away into the depths of the shroud, with nary a word or mention, was alive and well?” 

I thought you’d have forgotten me.

Her Grandmother picked out a knife, as she began to cut the cake into slices with a small nod. She had two more plates off to the side, guests in her home perhaps that had not yet arrived? Aedwen grimaced before she looked to the side. 

“I just--”

“Needed to find yourself, to fix yourself, to do what you needed to do. Probably thought it was too hard now to send a letter back just saying you were alright.”

The words were tipped in venom as her Grandmother spoke them, and despite her efforts she could feel her hands tightening into fists.

“It’s not--”

“It’s not that simple, you had reasons, I need to understand that you’re living -your- own life, and that’s that--”

Aedwen had almost vaulted across the room to slam her hands flat against the table, the old wood creaking violently under the action.

“I FUCKED UP OKAY?! I KNEW I FUCKED UP, AND I... I COULDN’T TURN BACK! ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THAT?!”

I couldn’t face you all again.

“I made my bloody damned mistakes and I’ve tried to make better on it alright?! What do you want, for me to grove--”

She hadn’t expected her grandmother to strike as harsh as she had, the elderly woman’s hand turning Aedwen’s head and leaving a red mark upon the side of her cheek as she was left stunned for a moment.

“I WANTED TO KNOW MY GODS DAMNED GRANDDAUGHTER, THE ONLY THING STILL HERE FROM MY DAUGHTER, WHO I -SWORE- TO HELP KEEP SAFE, WAS -ALIVE- AND -ALRIGHT-!”

Her voice boomed, contrary much to her small stature as Aedwen saw that look of rage in her grandmother’s eyes... But something beyond it as well. A sorrowful compassion of sorts?

“Your... Your Grandfather mourned you for -years-. -I- made a grave for you, to hold no body! My own Granddaughter, left as nothing but a damned tree without even a body below it! Did you ever think, ever -consider- what you being gone for so long would do to us?! Did we not -matter- to you?!”

I didn’t even think of them, in my anger.

Aedwen stood there, her hand rising to her cheek as her grandmother shook before her. A small tear rolling down her cheek before she took in a short gasping breath and the tears began to fall down her aged and weathered face easier.

“I... W-We thought we -lost- you forever... We lost your mother... We lost your father... We lost you... A whole part of the family g-gone in the blink of an eye. And then what... I get -TOLD- from others that you are seen back and wandering around. I thought... I thought you finally came home!”

... I was just running from something else.

“But no! It’s been two years... Two years since you came back, and you never sought out your own family! Do you know how much that -hurts-?! To be so casually -discarded- by your own flesh and blood?!”

Aedwen’s lips pursed, as her gaze fell to the floorboards beneath her feet. The words had struck true to her, and every bit of that truth hurt to come to grips with. Her voice shook, as she stood there, attempting to fight back her tears.

“I... I didn’t... I thought you’d all h-hate me...” 

I deserve to be hated.

“Well... They do -NOW-...” 

Her Grandmother retorted, wiping at her eyes with her sleeves as she shuffled her way slowly to Aedwen... Her arms opening wide as she wrapped them around Aedwen’s body, and pulled her into a tight hug amidst the soft sounds of her own hiccups. Aedwen’s own tears finally breaking free of her restraint as she felt her knees weaken.

“I-I didn’t... I-I--”

I didn’t want to believe. I don’t want to believe. You should hate me.

“And look... Look how you come back to us... Scarred... Angry... Bitter... And trying to find hope in the hells.” 

I was broken before you found me. I was a terrible person before... It just shows now.

Her Grandmother’s hand slowly moved up to stroke the back of her head as she gave a soft shushing sound to Aedwen, as she helped her down onto her knees and held the younger hyur tightly as if afraid she’d vanish.

“... I forgive you... It’s okay... I love you still, no matter how mad I am.”

You shouldn’t.

“Come on then, let it out... We have cake to eat.”

Aedwen’s hand reached up to wipe at her uncovered eye as if she was trying to purge it of acid. A small grunt of a nod, before she gave a loud hiccup, her Grandmother giving a sad sounding laugh before she kissed Aedwen’s forehead and stood up. 

“... Hells... I need to wipe my face... You as well. Go on... wash yourself up, get your hiccups under control... And then get your ass back out here for cake.” 

There was a small nod from Aedwen as she stayed kneeling on the floor, hiccuping as the tears kept leaving her... No matter how much she wiped her face, they still came.

“Th-Thank you...”

I don’t deserve this.

[Prompt 4: Saving Time]

Snowfall was common in Coerthas, blanketing the caverns and highlands that rose towards the Dravanian highlands to meet the cooler temperatures there, the hardy forests and their inhabitants used to the chill that so much of Eorzea shed.

Lucien adjusted his visor, the thin veil of cloth concealed under the flip of leather keeping his eyes from aching at snowblind; he wasn’t sure how others handled the long patrols in the sharp snows and ice that clung to the treacherous lands from the Calamity.  He wasn’t sure if Aedwen had something she rigged for others, either, as the kir was as loathe to approach her for assistance as ever, especially after their last conversation.

If she hadn’t been holding his declaration for fitness under proverbial threat he might’ve laughed more at her insinuations.

As the kir so rarely did he was being lightly followed by his project, taking the modified bits with him; he’d been skimping on sleep to pour more time into his workshop project though he couldn’t say whether or not he recalled half of the bells aside from the blur of being bent over his drafting table, carefully carving the small molds out so that the modifications to the usual array that powered the bits could be cast.  If he’d been home he wouldn’t have needed to carve the molds, spend the time casting them.  If he’d been home he might not have known how to either, a process that would give him entire suns back if the project rolled for larger approval.

His mother would’ve been astounded - perhaps happily, perhaps not - to see how he’d taken the skills he’d begun as a goldsmith and applied them like a clockwork master to the process of refining the bits.  Tweaking the arrays that allowed them to draw from the aspected crystals that he’d put inside their chassis, refining the design because he’d gotten part of the workshop assignments and he would be damned if he didn’t make something to show for it.

At some point he needed to test the molds to make sure he could replicate beyond the prototype but that would be after he laid their design out entirely, and tested them thoroughly in the field.

Or, as he frowned, found someone else to help test.  In a manner that left him in less dire straights than he’d have been in before.

It’d be beyond embarrassing if he ended up as bad as the first demonstration had been.

What he really needed to do was spend time in the drains of it now, though...

...when he had more bells banked, perhaps.

That time you almost died.

[1:19 a.m.]J'agun Lyehga scooted abit further to his food. Palms lifting to press together a few ilms from his chest as his head lowered. "Bless this grub on behalf o' th' great Deity that be me stomach!" He said, pulling the two meals towards him as each hand scooped up a piece of barramundi to which he shoved into his mouth. So.....little....manners. [1:23 a.m.]J'agun Lyehga was definitely detirmined to finish two meals on his own. The day had been long and full of...well. Fiends. With a mouth full of his dish, his crimson iris span up to Kurou as he barked over. Food swallowing most of the sounds his mouth made. "Ey mate! This brub be fantaftif!  Compshsliments t' th' Chefffh!" He managed to squeeze out between re-filling his mouth with more of the food.

[1:29 a.m.]J'agun Lyehga paused in the middle of his engorgement. Hands that once each clasped a barramundi... slowly lowered to place within the plates. "....." He tried to swallow, and swallow again he tried. Grubby hands made for his mint tea to which he rose to his mouth swiftly, aiming to push that food down.... but the water only evaded the solid food. He made another grasp for the other cup... but the back of his hand only knocked both it and it's contents onto the table. All he could do? Was struggle a sound from his throat as he wavered his empty glass around like a madman. So this was what death was like.

[1:31 a.m.]Kurou Otani blinks a few times, quickly heading over to clean up the mess. "Erm, don't worry..." He tries to assure him. "... You alright, there?"

[1:33 a.m.]J'agun Lyehga 's one good eye darted up to Kurou, head shaking thrice in quick succession. His throat making an 'UH-UH!' sound as his left hand left to close a fist. Raising his chin, he thudded a few times on his chest with the fist and after a few moments a hard swallow came around. And the Miqo'te rested his forehead ontop the table with a heavy sigh. "....Good.......food......" He murmured. "....Water....?"

[1:34 a.m.]Kurou Otani realizes the man is choking, AND HE TOTALLY MOVED OVER TO PAT HIS BACK HEAVILY TO HELP THINGS GO DOWN before nodding. "A-Aye... right away."

[1:35 a.m.]Reika Yamazaki grabs the Doman eel and starts to slice it carefully into segmented pieces once she's shaved the the fattiest and tastiest parts loose. She stops in her chopping and runs to grab some water. "A moment!"

[1:35 a.m.]Saika Kogane > "Please enjoy, and I shall return." When she rose, she bowed politely before going to check on her other guests, bringing the tray of water with her.

[1:35 a.m.]J'agun Lyehga the pat on the back was welcome... but that was TOTALLY AFTER HE ALMOST DIED. Nevertheless, the catte just forehead kissed the table slowly being defeatedly patted. "Thank......you.....mate..." Manners! All it needed was almost choking!

[1:36 a.m.]Kurou Otani TOTALLY GOT HIM IN TIME BECAUSE THE PLAYER has no reading skill ever kill me

[1:37 a.m.]Aedwen Tyrer looked to Saika.

[1:37 a.m.]Kurou Otani also moves over to get the water for him, smiling sheepishly. Well, this is good... Kitsuno is going to probably laugh at him when he tells her... "Easy there now. Surely the food can be savored slowly..." [1:39 a.m.]J'agun Lyehga didn't even peek up from watching the table up close. His hand slunk out, padding across the table before it found the fresh water Kurou had made and he drew it into his chest like a prized possession. "Nah in this life, ye either loot life's pleasures fer yourself or someone else will loot it." He said, raising his head to sip the water slowly. "Thanks fer nah lettin' me die." HE TOTALLY ALMOST DID.

[1:39 a.m.]Kurou Otani is going to let him choke next time, oocly. [1:40 a.m.]Kurou Otani chuckles with a shake of his head. "Aye, but there are better things worth dying for." He gives the man's shoulder a pet. "Take a breather. I'll have another order of tea out for you once I attend to these guests."

Blood On My Name

“Dear Diary,

I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. I walked out, on over ten years of my life but a few moons ago. Ten years, I had served. Ten years, I had given my everything for a cause I held true. Ten years, I gave -EVERYTHING- for it. I betrayed my -NATION-, my -FAMILY-, my -FRIENDS-, and even my -FAITH-. I told myself, over and over... I was doing it for them. To help find away a way to save them. Even as blood pooled around me, I swore it was just and righteous. That what we were doing, would be the best thing for this world. We would -save- the world, from itself.

... I do not know how to wash the blood from my hands. I prayed, as I walked across the frozen lands, that the shadows would make quick work of me. Just a momentary slip from the mortal coil, for my damned soul to fall to the seven hells. It t’would be a mercy, to face that fate I believe, the simplicity of the punishments to drown the regrets amidst suffering. But no, I’m left alive still, as this damned world sees not fit to yet take me. No, instead I am to work and labor, in a hell of my own mind’s making, to try and make myself feel my very life is justified.

A life I need to justify, at the costs of hundreds, and the injustices I stood by for. The Ala Mhigans I helped put down... The kin I have killed... The innocents who were killed for no other reason, than the fact I borrowed a name not my own. How is a child of man to live up to that? Am I to bow my head to judgement of my fellows, and merely add my body to the pile of corpses left in the wake? Am I to tell myself, that mending wounds, and living a good life will repay what has been taken? 

Of course not... I am going to live on, a wretch as I have been, lieing and scheming as I don’t even have the courage to face death in a matter of dignity. I’m going to tell myself, that serving those I have wronged, and trying to fucking -smile- more, will absolve me of my sins. That I can change, and become something I’m -proud- of... Gods forgive me, when I parrot those words, I feel nothing besides the shame that smothers me like a wet cloak. -Pride-. That I tell people this, and they seem to think I am doing something noble, that I am not trying to shove my head into the dirt and scream.

I stood amidst the work of ten years of my life, amidst a field of snow and blood, as the dead were just labeled ‘acceptable’ once more. I watched those I had stood by, shrug it off and even laugh. I saw the monsters, we made of our own people... With only one damned eye, I finally saw the world I was helping build, and I wish I had the strength that I needed then, to weep... Or to even try and meet out some form of justice, at the cost of my own crooked life.

I do not even have the good grace to be able to confide these truths in others... To speak of the ill that weighs on me. Not because it would just be improper, but because to admit what I have done, and what I -am- would be death for myself if they are smart, and death for myself and them, if they held such a secret. No, I have to make myself seem more trivial... That my heel turn is about something lesser, something -acceptable- that people will not question.

I have to live yet another damned lie.

... Once a Traitor... Always a Traitor I suppose.”

PROS AND CONS OF DATING: AEDWEN TYRER.

PROS

1. Independence.      Aedwen is very hands off in relationships. She may snuggle, she’ll be there for support when needed... But she is going to let everyone live their own life. You like just having someone to occasionally snuggle with, or bitch to about other people? Then Aedwen’s good!

2. Caring.      Contrary to how she can act, she does give a genuine crap about people. She’ll be a right bitch when needed, and do her best to speak softly when the time is important. She cares about helping people!

3. Dedicated.     She may not be a relationship micromanager... But if someone gets her into a monogamous relationship, she’ll stick by it.

4. Great Advice.       She can give -great- advice. She loves philosophy, and sociology, so she can help explain difficult things, or help someone see a fault. She’s not perfect, but better than most.

5. Reasonable.     A fight isn’t the end of the world. Things can be talked through. Dramatics, are not her thing. She’ll always be upfront and honest in her feelings on how the relationship is, and she expects the same.

CONS

1. -INDEPENDENT-      She will very often, make her own choices of what -she- will do, be it going on missions or even traveling. She’ll often invite others, but she won’t beholden herself to not living parts of her life for another. Being constantly cooed over, or treated all cutesy or romantically, makes her feel smothered. She wants to stretch her own wings, walk along when -SHE- wants to. This, means to a lot of people she’ll seem callous in a relationship when coupled with the next...

2. Adverse to Grand Gestures.     Others may say they will move heaven and earth for their beloveds... Aedwen will tell them that the stars are where they are, and to expect it to remain so. If you are in a verified and serious, honest to god relationship... It’s because you both already know you care deeply about each other. Constantly shower her in grand gestures, will make her feel like she’s indebted, or she’s not showing how much she loves the other if she doesn’t mimic them back. Just catch some netflix and chill, that’s all she needs.

3. Zero Tolerance For Dramatics.     Good job, you got into her heart! But oh no! You saw her talking to X person you dislike! If you handle something, like it’s from a soap opera, or just let yourself jump to rapid conclusions such as ‘she’s obviously cheating on me because she always hangs out with this person, and they’re a whore!’ She has zero time for that. Relationships are built on trust, and if you are not able to trust her to not betray you, or try to tell her WHO or WHAT to do? She’s done.

4. The Drugs. Oh God. So Many Drugs.      If you got this far, you’ll probably have noticed Aedwens rampant drug abuse. She’ll do anything, anytime. She did coke off a DJ wearing a snowman’s head. So, upside for the party types. Downside for the people who have common sense. She’s trying to kick it, but it’s hard to stay on the wagon, and will always be a fight.

5. Secretive.      She has -nothing- to tell you about certain parts of her past, or why she’s going through fucked up shit. She’ll fight you tooth and nail, for every piece of information about her. She wants her privacy, she’ll give you yours, and expect her own.

6. Depression, and other issues.     There is no being the fix, or the cure for her chronic depression. It’s going to happen, and it’s going to stick. It can be hard, to deal with or try to help someone with it, through their times. At times it can feel like you’re carrying the majority of the emotional burden... She’ll be sorry for it, but there’s no shame in that it’s not for everyone.

7. She can be a right bitch.      Unless she starts off thinking you’re an idiot, or feels relaxed enough around you... Her very formal and super polite way fades away. She curses like a sailor, and will insult someone for perceived slights when they occur. She’s a bitch.

[Weekly Summary Report, 2]

WEEKLY SUMMARY REPORT, TIME SPENT SUBMITTED 29th SUN, FIRST ASTRAL MOON [Additional inclusions in report] ATTN: EIR LIRUS

Week's time has been spent in less than processing ways.,  Previously requested reports are being rolled into a single one for ease.

Firesday through Watersday, time spent in forges.  At the moment the reordering of materials seems to be accepted.  Issues noted would be that the materials for alloy - not the raw ores but the other materials for proper refinement - are beginning to run low.  Twelve had been providing what I was requesting but as Twelve is not apparently present for this duty, supplies are low.  I have not included a list of needed materials as the Castrum's current and continued state of supply means it would be easier to acquire without interference.

Recommendations for some of this (the materials would not tip the hat of whom processing is being used by as it's not the material so much as the methods that set out steels apart from the commoner varieties) might include looking for the mining and trade posts that are nearby and either raiding or negotiating (on some behalf) for trade.  It's been some time but I do believe that they still favor softer pelts of the Eorzean-climed species as the harsh weathers have made their old quarry in the Highlands either flee or become less trade-viable targets.  Either we can hunt and trade or somehow else wise acquire the needed things for trade.  I would recommend barter over another method as barter will have the least record, and be much easier to hide.

Assisted on the transport investigation and recovery mission.  Injuries sustained have necessitated a reduced amount of time in the forges on heavy hauling or processing.  Originally saw jen Cittinius, for treatment - Castrum supplies deemed low enough that there were no on-hand treatments for dubious injuries as sustained and as I was not actively retching after other medicus, Minerva, acted via aether.  

Recommendations - eir Gehfroen is a known 'florist' but evinces a penchant for herbal remedies.  Discussions with eir Gehfroen have, in the past, secured herbal and safe painkillers for prolonged consumption that cause no harm for ones with issues handling aetherical treatments.

Other herbalists and trained chirurgeons are present as well - previously had contacted a Lionnet Blodoint in Gridania, Lionnet while being aetherically skilled was quite adamant in their professed knowledge and skills.  Either acquire resources who are capable of handling situations without forcing more debilitating care on those present, or augment and issue better supplies for on-field deployments.

Of note, a discussion with jen Cittinius regarding issued equipment - as they are unable to handle the presence of someone prone to aether sickness in close combat, jen Cittinius is making am informal (for now) request of a shift of issued equipment.  On the one hand, I'm personally offended that they're showing issues in handling a rather common occurrence in Eorzea that they should know how to approach, on the other hand, I've been unable to repair my own armor so that a further direct confrontation will not just result in the plating possibly cracking.

State of equipment versus supplies - while I can secure some more reliable treatments on a personal basis, in the future, this does nothing for the rest of the Castrum.  Given eir Gehfroen's ability to acquire odd plants and their skills in preparations, I would suggest that they be used as a means of securing resources, and perhaps discussing with the healer of Gold and Glory for supplies purchase.

Barring that, I am told of a few clinics that are friendly, to various degrees.  While I have been assured of one such clinic's presence and this one is known to the Castrum (brought up after R-11's recovery) in Shirogane, other friendly clinics perhaps should be identified and either leveraged for access to resources or negotiated with for services and supplies.

A fervent hope that the medical work in the labs progresses is also submitted.  Impressions are that the work there will be friendly for more than the aetherically gifted.

-L.K.

IN REFERENCE TO RYANTI

Hello, this is the leadership of Gold and Glory. We wanted to take a moment to provide a public statement regarding a former member of ours, Ryanti. As of last night, a very informative post https://dice-domino.tumblr.com/post/185025005485/ffxiv-known-abuser-ryanti-veanysus was made, detailing confessions from women that Ryanti has emotionally manipulated, and proof of an anti-LGBT stance from him. Our first action, is to say that we want to thank these women for coming forward, and greenlighting their stories to be shared. Within hours of the post, Ryanti was removed from our FC group, all of our Linkshells, and associated Discords.

We did not make a statement at the time, as we needed a moment to think over what had happened, look over the stories, and reflect on our actions. We understand, there has been harsh criticism of our leadership for this incident, and the past incident involving Kale. We are not here to absolve ourselves of fault, or to claim perfection.

IN JANUARY, THE LEADER OF NOX CAME TO US WITH CONCERNS IN REGARD TO RYANTI. They provided us with a log between them and Ryanti, where they believe it showed Ryanti attempting to manipulate the relationship between our two FCs. They told us of rants Ryanti would have regarding G&G but unfortunately, did not have any logged copies for us to review them. We thanked them for their information, and informed them that the mods would be informed, and Ryanti watched for signs of him doing it again.

As the leadership of G&G, since no one had been sexually harassed, or assaulted, we chose to adopt a waiting stance. Further on, it was brought to our attention that a number of female members, had an issue regarding Ryanti. Once we were made aware of this situation, our moderator group at the time, had heavily debated what to do. Eventually, it was determined, that we would look into the claims made against him, and one of our moderators at the time, Bragi, had interviewed the women in question, and others who had began to warn us of him. Unfortunately, at the end of the investigation, we had not been provided solid logs against him, but individuals expressing that they have seen patterns

Furthermore, Ryanti's largest vocal critic Nox, had been repeatedly told to us by Ryanti, and others including her own past FC leader, the current NOX FC leader, that she had a history of lying which included, making claims against Ryanti that Lio, the FC leader, claimed were false. With this, and our own issues from having interacted with her, it was decided that we did not have enough information or damning evidence, to kick Ryanti from the FC. Instead, we decided that he would hold no officer position, and would remain under watch.

This decision was made in the September time frame. Two months roughly after we had been warned about Nox by Lio. No further information, or proof of wrongdoing had been presented to us, so we could not act. Following this, in January the incident regarding Kale occured, and during which Lio then contacted us with warnings about Ryanti trying to spread animosity between G&G and NOX. These logs were previously shown in the above portion.

We did not believe that we had enough evidence, to cause for us to remove him on the grounds of him in our eyes 'venting' to NOX leadership about us.

Further on, we noticed a post from Lio, stating that he had discovered something about someone he knew, but did not have permission to share it. This was a public tumblr post, and once brought to our attention, our leadership again reached out to let them know, that if anything was wrong to please let them know that they could come to our leadership.

Due to the vague nature of the post we could not guarantee it was Ryanti who was the subject of it. However, as of yesterday, 5/20/2019 it has been made clear that Ryanti was indeed the individual in question, as Lio went public with all of his information. https://dice-domino.tumblr.com/post/185025005485/ffxiv-known-abuser-ryanti-veanysus

What we saw on there, disgusted us. Shortly after it was posted, Ryanti was removed from our FC, Linkshells, and Discord. His emotional manipulation was made clear to us, and his Anti-trans stance was something we in no way support, or condone.

As FC leadership, we had tried to make calls based on the information we were given. Unfortunately, in this situation, we had made the wrong calls.

@Nox We are beyond sorry, that the character assassination presented to us, caused us to dismiss you. We were in the wrong, and while we know it may not mean much, we are deeply sorry for what it has done to our relationships.

To the other women that Ryanti had harassed, we are sorry as well. As Leadership, the choice we made had failed to keep a predator from our organization, and we had ended up being manipulated by his own words.

To our members, we are sorry that someone so toxic has been among you.

Gold and Glory, as a organization, believes in creating a safe place for our members. We have failed you in the past, but are committed to improving ourselves for the future. We have taken steps, to remove members posting anti-lgbt or disparaging comments. We have attempted to make the best calls we could, with evidence provided while attempting to be fair to all parties involved.

We will continue, to work on improving ourselves as an organization, and we will hold no tolerance for hateful views, or manipulation within our freecompany.

We have however, come to a conclusion. It is clear that between this situation, and the previous Kale incident, members of G&G leadership will be stepping down from their current positions. We ask you to please work with those that take their place, to help improve our community as a whole.

Going forward, Aegir Hlerson and Lirilith Maellen are stepping down from leaders and owners of G&G. Aedwen Tyrer, @shroud-trash Will become the acting FC leader, and administrative lead of G&G.

Master Rancorfist is a monk from an old Order, one thought to have been destroyed before the occupation. With his arrival, hope for the return of the Temple of Rancor has everyone in high spirits. But old faces draw old enemies, and a hit is placed upon the ancient monk. It would seem an Ala Mhigan crime lord named Black Fist has a long standing grudge with Rancorfist. Eight assassins have been hired to take out the Master and it’s up to the members of the Resistance and their allies to protect Rancorfist, find Black Fist, and put an end to this grudge. Status: Levinblood is a Resistance group we run every now and then. This will be a long campaign running every other week. Anyone can join if they’re interested!

The Adventurers moor on an island surrounded by a strange Meracydian sigils barrier. An entity from the center of the island beckons to them.
