RULES
Please be nice or you'll make Chuck drink.

Our community conduct rules are, boiled down to their base form, simple. Observe common sense, and treat others with basic decency and respect, and you will be welcomed with open arms.Due to themes present in our community (roleplaying of mature themes such as murder and violence, as pirates and their ilk are wont to do), we request that players present be 18 years of age or older.

A less condensed version of our rules, our code of conduct, and what we seek from our community is the following.We expect those who enter our community to treat others, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, sexuality, etc. with dignity, respect and kindness. Our community is filled with people from all walks of life, and our staff team has LGBT BIPOC on it. We will not tolerate racism, pedophilia, bigotry or other subjects.We have zero tolerance for harassment of any kind. If you are known for engaging in harassing behaviors - bullying, stalking, anything that falls under common sense definition of "harassing" - harassment campaigns, bullying and general undesirable behaviors, you will not be welcomed in this community. We will not hesitate to ban individuals who act in ways that threaten the good nature and camaraderie of our community, and we will not hesitate to remove harmful individuals' ability to access our community members.We follow a general three strike rule for non-threatening misbehaviors, and we do not rescind bans. While we believe that individuals can learn and grow past their toxic behaviors, they can do so away from our community.

Moraby Imports Market

Held Monthly on the Fourth Sunday

OCE/ Bismarck Moraby Drydocks
12 CST / 6 PM BST

An initiative of the mercantile guilds of Limsa Lominsa to bolster trade and commerce in the wake of the end of the Garlean conflict, the Moraby Imports Market is a monthly event held to allow trade and commerce to flourish. A portion of proceeds from the event is pocketed by mercantile guilds and goes towards paying for more shipwright work.

Eorzean Rat Racing

Held quarterly (every three months)

Materia, Bismarck, Wolves Den

A storied tradition said to have rooted itself in the basement of the Upright Thieves, rat racing fell into the shadows of Lominsan history. Following an upsurge in the popularity of trained rats, the Hullbreaker beast tamers contingency is hosting a meet and greet for upcoming ratters to take to the sport. Pick your rat, train your rat, race your rat. Become Eorzea's greatest Rat King.

Whorl of Charybdis Tavern Night

Openings currently under revision

The Whorl of Charybdis adventuring guild and tavern is a Maelstrom-associated establishment that caters to all clientele -- so long as they have the coin to provide. Rub elbows with corsairs and captains alike, gather for grub!

Wineport - Wine Tasting

Openings as announced

Materia, Bismarck, Wineport

An effort by wine enthusiasts and the mercantile guilds of Lominsan territories, Wineport's Wine Tastings have begun in great earnest. These RSVP-only events are treated as something of a treat for all who attend.
