Garden of Eventide: Chapter III

8/4/2019

Following the incursion upon Coerthas, in search for the marauding cultists, Lilium found themselves entrenched in the occult; nightmarish happenstance unveiling the horrifying machinations those sinister enemies foretold. Innocent lives, trapped in an eternal torture by way of illusions and curses. Escaping narrowly, Lilium were able to assure those entrapped spirits were put to rest. The heroes had found more than what they searched for; bringing home only clues to decipher their next step.Clues that would forever be mementos to the egregious crimes they fell upon. Nonetheless, their mission weren't over.

Uncovering those ledgers of occult design, the cultist's intentions became evermore apparent: to pull destruction into the world. Their attempts, however, had been thwarted by failed experimentation, and Lilium intervention. Though, tracking the grim organization had become more systematic. What magic and scrying needed to locate where they were applying their dark machinations had allowed Lilium to race against the clock to find and stop them; subsequently giving the altruistic fellowship a trail to follow, which would inevitably lead them closer to beheading the shadowy cult. 

Dravania had been a thoroughfare for the sinister group, allowing Lilium's scryers to keep close observation of the expansive land, as best as their magical capabilities would allow them. An ancient cradle of knowledge, lost in time, Dravania were a perfect location for the cult to thrive as they explored the extensive fount of aether and the annals it provided.

A few days prior to the operation, Lilium followed through with their vigilance; scouring the firma from the furthest reaches of extensive terrain, to the nearest. Meeting their expectations, another magical anomaly showed itself. Clouded in darkness, a subterranean area within the forests of the Dravanian Forelands disoriented prying magics. It were the precise thing Lilium had been searching for in their quest to expedite the end of the dark organization.

Into the Forelands Lilium ventured. Through thickets and mountainous vales, they spent hours traversing the wilderness using only a compass attuned to the magical anomaly's trace. The moment they entered the sylviculture, it kept them on a trail eastward. A long, difficult journey, leaving the group fatigued from travel. Though, eventually the thick wild flora would begin to thin, and ancient stone bloomed from the opening canopy as they made their way into another hidden valley. Ruins occupied it; long forgotten, weathered, and disheveled. 

Within the ruinous sentry, and the dark thicket it protected, Lilium uncovered the bitter truth behind the intent of their enemies...

Garden of Eventide: Chapter III 

Begins on 6/21!

Following the incursion upon Coerthas, in search for the marauding cultists, Lilium found themselves entrenched in the occult; nightmarish happenstance unveiling the horrifying machinations those sinister enemies foretold. Innocent lives, trapped in an eternal torture by way of illusions and curses. Escaping narrowly, Lilium were able to assure those entrapped spirits were put to rest. The heroes had found more than what they searched for; bringing home only clues to decipher their next step. Clues that would forever be mementos to the egregious crimes they fell upon. 

Nonetheless, their mission weren't over. It were time to move on. To follow the devilish breadcrumbs they were left. Unknowing what further travesties they would uncover, as they further tore away the inky darkness that brought them closer to their mission's end.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

In the early morning, the Lilium halls would come to life with the presence of wayward students; faculty and student ambassadors greeting and guiding a sea of white and gold uniforms. Through the dissonance of voices, laughter, and excitement were a prominent oration, spoken through resonant crystals attuned to the linkpearls many enrolled students and professors possessed. The familiar tone of the Lilium Dean rang out:

"Today marks the first day of our inaugural Spring semester. As the flora blossom, so does the lily, and we thank you all for being with us as we embark upon this fun, exciting adventure. Lilium Academy will continue to grow, and as we walk along this road, we will certainly continue to stop enjoy the scenery as much as we can, but let it not distract you from the purpose we all share within these walls; the betterment of ourselves, and those around us. As long as you wear that golden lily, you are family; a bearer of an eternal torch, bestowed upon you by those of annals and wisdom past, which you will be anointed to carry onward."

Days Away!

With a schedule unfolding, the Lilium Academy is days away from its inaugural Spring semester. Early enrollment has marked its end with a pre-orientation that occurred on the 24th of April. We’re still taking enrollment, and will continue to do so until the fourth week in May. After that, early enrollments with begin for the semester beginning in August for early enrollment events taking place in June. However, this doesn’t mean our recruitment will end. The Lilium Fellowship still requires able bodies and strong minds to assist us in our operations across Eorzea. Between research and paramilitary affairs local and abroad, we need you! 

[the-lilium-fellowship]

Another day, we grow; more supportive, loving members of the Lilium family. We couldn’t be happier to have such an amazing group of people helping us every step of the way. May 1st is closing in, and on the road to the beginning of our inaugural semester at Lilium Academy, the Fellowship will be holding student orientations and hands-on introductory seminars to each of our variety of classes.

Now is the time to enroll!

Garden of Eventide: Chapter 2

In the heart of the Dravanian Hinterlands, reports of paranormal mischief has reached the ears of the Lilium Fellowship. With the disappearance of numerous adventurers traversing the southern reaching leaving Idyllshire, those who sought answers would find nothing more than dust and death. Taking an intrepid leap into the unknown, Doctor Penrose asked those willing to venture towards the lush, uncharted wilds in search of inklings to the missing persons.

Into the endless wilds, the Lilium ventured; through ruins and beaten, weathered paths that led them southward away from the remaining signs of bustling civilization. In fields of emerald and pearly white, the heroes carefully tread the historical lands that comprised Dravania, and its rich, dangerous history. Through rivers, hills, and ravines, eventually they came upon the towering terranean formations that made up the hinterland's alpine. Stalagmites and shadowy tunnels stretched as broad as the eye could see, as the sullen structures beset the group, until they found themselves at the humid mouth of the cavernous structure.

After the wiles of happenstance, the group managed to discover more than they aimed for; a thickening machination of cultists and doomsayers, who had been occupying the subterranean network; hidden away from the prying eyes of the scryers and footmen of Ishgard's observant gaze. There, a scintillating garden bloomed through the inky, sultry caverns. Filled with reagents and herbs suffused so deeply with aether, it nigh uplifted the soul to be near them. As the Lilium perused the garden for clues, they were overcome with an unlikely meeting - a dubious ally, which would pave the way - after completing a trying task - for the fellowship's reluctant next step in tracking down those deranged cultists. Deeper into the eventide, they would go...
