Three Ravens Mercantile

Three Ravens Mercantile is an Ishgardian-owned merchant company which manufactures high quality, artisan crafted goods, traded across Eorzea. Traveling by caravan and airship, our merchants carry goods to various cities across Eorzea, and as far east as Kugane. Many of our artisans are also willing to take on personalized commissions, negotiations for which are handled on a case by case basis.

The company was originally founded in the wake of the Calamity as a loose collection of artisans and merchants. Since then, it has evolved from a collective of itinerant crafters to a profitable trading company specializing in luxury, artisan crafted goods and, more recently, luxury commodities and magitek technology. Three Ravens Mercantile employs individuals from a variety of crafting disciplines and also recruits adventurers and administrators to fulfil other roles within the company. Individuals interested in commissioning, working for or apprenticing with the Ravens are encouraged to reach out to the company directly.

Our company house is located in the Mists housing district and is currently open to visitors. Please feel free to drop by and see what we have to offer:

OOC Information

Casual | Slice of Life | Trade | Craft | Adventure

Three Ravens Mercantile is a small, casual roleplay FC based on Zalera. We are looking for people who prefer close knit RP groups and aim to remain at a size where both characters and players can interact easily without feeling lost in the crowd.

As a trading company we are looking for characters who are crafting focused, but that does not mean that we wont get involved in anything more adventurous—Eorzea is a dangerous place and a good part of our IC business takes place on the road. Non-craft characters such as adventurers, mercenaries and sellswords are welcome and we’re always open new ideas.

Our current RP is casual, social and largely slice-of-life based, though we will be looking at more adventure based scenarios in the future (think caravan travel, sky pirates, monster hunting and exploratory voyages). Organized events, markets and DM’d storylines will be run on weekends when they occur. These will not be mandatory as participation in anything (be it RP or PVE) is entirely optional.

Outside of RP we are also enjoy engaging in PVE content as a group, and people are always welcome to join in—the more the merrier. We’re also happy to help sprout with leveling content.

Some of the content we run includes:

RoulettesRaids (24 and 8 man casual, no plans to tackle savage as of yet)Deep dungeon (and whatever the Endwalker version of this ends up being)Eureka/BozjaMount, achievement and glamor farmingMapsHunts
If you have any questions or are interested in RPing with us please feel free to get in touch. We have an IC linkshell for the purpose of connecting with potential customers, patrons and other trading organizations.

Roles and Opportunities

Our theme as a trading company is wide enough to accommodate a variety of character types and backgrounds. However, while we are primarily geared toward craft and trade RP, characters of other skills and backgrounds are welcome to join us (we could always use guards, chocobo handlers, household staff etc).

From artisans and merchants to explorers, adventurers or even wealthy patrons, we are willing to work with people to find a way in for anyone interested in joining.

• Be able to keep OOC and IC separate.
• Be willing to take the initiative when it comes to finding RP.
