About

First established in 2014, Heartwood Ventures has grown alongside FFXIV since nearly the very beginning. We aim to provide an immersive role-playing environment, while cultivating an active PvE experience.We welcome folks from all levels of experience, both from an RP perspective, and newcomers to PvE alike. This is a place for all to feel welcome and comfortable, make friends and enjoy their time in Eorzea!

<HW-VN> is best described as an adventurer's guild closely affiliated with Gridania's Order of the Twin Adders.The free company is led and organized by Nyscera Nara who is supported by Aislinn North, Coroh Veldha, M'shara Rhaz and Rising Lotus. Heartwood's base of operations is located within the Lavender Beds (Ward 22, Plot 33), where bills, leves, and requests can be found on the job board within.Members are offered room and board in return for their services, and have access to all of Heartwood's amenities, including but not limited to: an in-house clinic, basement lounge and tavern, and relaxing garden library.We try to host 2-4 RP events per month, while likewise encouraging our members to host their own events and involve other members of the free company in their personal storylines.

Our veteran members are happy to provide guidance to those still learning gameplay, from MSQ, Deep Dungeon, Treasure Maps, and even Eureka, all the way up to extreme primals and savage content.We organize a more-difficult-content night at least once monthly, to introduce EX primals and older savage fights to those who may not have felt confident attempting them, or those who are new to the game to learn in a friendly environment.Additionally, we have several omni-crafters who are able to provide gear (for practical or glamour purposes!) and information.

Rules

Common Courtesy
All discussions and debates are to be kept civil. Should a debate become heated, you will be asked to take it to private DM’s between you and those involved, and out of the FC chat. It is expected that everyone in the FC will show a level of respect to one another other. No slurs or harassment of any kind will be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to; sexism, racism or homophobia.

Safe Haven
We are LGBTQ+ friendly. There will be no discrimination against someone’s race, sex, gender, orientation, disability, religion, sexual preference, nationality or other similar factors. While many like to make jokes about their own self, if you are asked not to make the joke again, you are expected to comply without question.

This is NOT a PG FC
Sexual innuendos and profane language do happen. While we do have locked channels for NSFW discussions, we are not always able to predict how a conversation will go in public channels. Please use the spoiler tag accordingly and remember to be respectful.While we are not PG, we are also not X-Rated. Extreme NSFW, lolicon/shotacon, and RL nudes are not tolerated in the discord or other public spaces. We have two opt-in only channels for varying degrees of NSFW art and screencaps.It should go without saying, but do not share NC-17 or mature content with anyone unsolicited.

Age Requirement
There is a hard age requirement of 18+. We are looking for members 18 and older. While we do not engage in public or FC related 18+ role-play, we are an FC of adults and prefer to maintain that environment.

Communication is Important
If you have an issue with another FC member or something that has happened, please do not hesitate to reach out to an officer. We cannot read your mind and we will not know what’s going on unless you come to us. Any questions, concerns or complaints we are more than willing to speak with you and find a way to address the issue(s) at hand. Ignoring and blacklisting FC members is not ideal and we’d like to avoid that as best we can.If you change your character or remove one from the FC that was active, please let us know! If you remove your main character but wish to keep alts in the FC, we do need to know so that we don’t end up removing them from the FC and discord.

RP Etiquette
IC =/= OOC and it is expected that both will remain separated. A mixing of IC and OOC or forcing someone into a situation they do not want to be in will not be tolerated. Please be sure to communicate with those you are RPing with for consent and for everyone to be on the same page.
Detailed RP rules can be found on our RP ruleset document.

FC Chest & Refunds
All FC members are welcome to take anything they need from the FC chest, but only if you are using it. We ask that if you do take items out, that you donate something of equal value back; in either items or gil. If you do not have withdrawal privileges, please contact the FC leader or an officer with the items you want.

Any Other Concerns
Ultimately, if you have any further questions or concerns, please contact our leaders or officers, whose contact information can be found on the Contact page.
