When wandering past a desk tucked into a back corner of a lavish resort, you find: a closed, unlabelled book!It seems to be a journal of some kind, left for a brief moment next to normal tax documents...
Go ahead - open it!What was its owner writing about...?
Opening the journal reveals a book that's mostly empty.But after some flipping, you find... a list of names, and their order in the journal's index!Who are these people, anyways?
If Found, Return to:
| Aya Numi |

1) S'ami Ariel
2) Cyril Ward
3) W'khael Tia
4) Petra Rask
The last page in the book also seems to have information about the manufacturer!
<Flip there instead?>

OOC Information About me and my Stories
Hi there! Here's some quick info about me:
- I'm 21+, and do prefer to RP with characters and players who are also 21+; definitely no younger than 18, for my own comfort!- That being said - other than some typical Lovecraftian or Void-type stuff, I don't do mature RP on my characters, sorry! I also don't ERP in any form.- I'm absolutely good with fantasy-style violence and so! If it's acceptable within FFXIV, I'm good with it.- I'm perfectly okay with characters getting into fights, and getting injured! Unless otherwise stated or decided, I'll normally do roll battles (/random 20) for fights. I will say because of some past experiences, please don't godmode or place an injury or death on my character unless we discuss it OOCly!
And some info about how I do my Stories!
- I always stay as within the canon of FFXIV's lore as I can! I will never break anything that's been established, nor do I RP as/with WoL's unless as some kind of necessary plot device. However, I do get lenient with zones that haven't been stated explicitly!- I do have some 'homebrew' lore that ties back into the canon, but doesn't impact/break it. My main example of this is the 'Dreamlands', a sort of Lovecraftian-meets-fae land inspired by the pixie quests!- Honestly, I'm happy to go as big or as little as wanted when it comes to plot! As long as it doesn't break canon, I'm happy to work with just about anything! :D- I do some photoshop (well, Paint.net-shop) with some of the images for my characters, so they look more like how I picture them! But other than the, you know, 'eldritch' 'horrors', none of my characters are really any different than how they appear in-game; if I DO picture them with something specific (i.e. a tattoo, scar, specific style, etc) I'll always make sure it's specified during RP if it comes up!

Brief Overview
Izzy Docherty is a devoted priestess of Menphina who keeps watch and order over a Temple of the Moon in La Noscea. Her organization has helped The Silver Spire for generations, offering their members sanctuary, rest, and aid whenever needed.As an aid to The Spire for so long, Izzy is well aware of their fights and adversaries. As such, she also uses her unassuming position as a priestess to alert the members if she becomes aware of any questionable happenings or conversations.Cultist! She ended up being a cultist of the anti-Dreamlands group 'Daknava'. Unfortunate, really. We kept her in our holding location for questions, but she seemed just as lost as us, so we've since let her go. It DOES seem like she didn't choose that path.Whatever could go wrong?
Notes
| Priestess of Menphina | - Despite it all, Izzy is a kind, gentle, and attentive priestess. I wonder how many devouts have come to her temple before?| Safe Shelter | - She's always been open to giving shelter to any who need it, as well as a safe space for secrets and confession. Anyone down on their luck, or just needing sanctuary from an ocean storm, seem welcome in her temple.| Keeper of the Pools | - Izzy's temple is home to a large marble sanctuary of prayer rooms and pools. They're open to the public, and the pools are wonderful spaces for relaxation with oneself, partner(s), or friends! They also seem to be able to give strange visions of the past, present, and future...

Brief Overview
A few years ago, The Silver Spire made a curious discovery: one of our cottages was connected to a passageway to a secret library network underneath Ul'dah! Can you imagine! All the missed opportunities...This library, we thought to be a Belah'dian remnant. We found that it was guarded by a massive griffon - and a lone, eccentric Viera.While there are many 'unknowns' about this librarian of the underground, Petra actually appears to be an open book! They've simply been in the library for so many years that they don't remember much of their life from before it. Or so they say, I suppose.Nowadays, they are still the librarian, and work alongside the massive griffon guardian to caretake the ancient vaults and shelves. They're always happy for companionship, and allow free use of the library to anyone who is proven trustworthy.
Notes
| The Lost Librarian | - Petra is the caretaker of a massive wealth of knowledge, including books and artifacts thousands of years old. I wonder if anyone else has found access to the library over the years?
I don't even know where this image came from?

| Age: ??? |
| Pronouns: He/Him/His |
| Race: Hyur? |
| Class: Unknown (Caster of some sort) |
| Languages: Yes |
| Personality: Regal, withheld, cunning |
| Alignment: Lawful neutral? Lawful evil? It's quite hard to tell |

Brief Overview
The first being to contact those who consciously drift to the Dreamlands is oft not a friendly face. Sometimes, it's not even a face at all.For turns now, those of us who would drift in our dreams have sometimes found ourselves approached by a curious man, one clad seamlessly in robes of amber. A calm and friendly being, the man had only ever introduced himself to most as The Amber Ghost.He never seemed antagonistic. Maybe annoyed that we would not stop returning? In the way of a parent being annoyed with a child who won't stop running with scissors.Most curious of all, he was oft the only one willing to help us find our way out...I pray only that he means well.
Notes
| The Amber Shephard | - It's rare that a being clad in amber is one you wish to meet in the Dreamlands. The Amber Ghost is the one exception. I wonder how many others he's guided to safety...| A Friendly... Academic | - Really! I wonder how many people have spoken to him of the Dream in academic debates, not knowing who he was? A being of the Dreamlands in the waking world seems like a dangerous thing - but as far as information goes, I suppose you could find a worse source.
I'm sure that forgetting about me was an accident? No worries! Allow me:

Brief Overview
Sometimes, when members of The Silver Spire d̘̳̥̼̃̕r͔̣͚̅ͨ͘e͖̐͂̒̊͂a̛̫̹̾͐ͅṃ̥͇͂̆̃, they end up in a strange land. A lovely, lucid land, with vast deserts or forests made of trees.Sometimes, if they're just aware enough, they've caught themselves being watched. Felt themselves being approached. Normally, they would leave before anything actually got close enough to s̷͇̆e̶̎͜è̵̺.Sometimes, they've stayed. And when they have, they've occasionally been approached by a curious and enigmatic man, a top-hat wearing gentleman with the smile of a fox and the amber eyes of a hunter...
Notes
| The Eyes in your Dreams | - Do you astral travel, or lucid dream, dear friend? Wander in your s̵̯͔̐l̷̢̼̈e̶̥̳͐͌e̵̩̱̥͋p̸̛͓? If you've ever felt something watch you - there may have been amber eyes peering from the darkness. If you so chose to ǎ̵̠p̷̬̍p̵̢̊r̷̎ŏ̵̦ā̶̠c̷̭͠h̵͇͛ those eyes, a fun conversation might appear...

Brief Overview
A calm and quick-witted individual, Elizabeth is a Sharlayan with a thirst for knowledge and an insatiable desire to discover the unknown....Maybe too insatiable.Because recently, The Silver Spire discovered that this friendly face actually may be a head of the insidious cult Daknava, charged with heading research into what seems to have been a Time Machine of some sort.Good thing they stopped her! Now we can-...Hey! Where did she go-Awwwwwwww man-
Notes
| The Dear Scholar | - Need a guide around Sharlayan, or have information you wish to discuss? Elizabeth is always happy to speak more about any topic!| ...Maybe. | - Elizabeth doesn't just get information from the Noumenon. She also has a presence in some less-than-legal circles - maybe you met a curious scholar at a cult meeting 'curious locale'?

Brief Overview
Who holds court within that fair land of the dreams...?Ariel is the dear king of the Seelie Court, a fae power within the Dreamlands. 'Young' and engimatic compared to his fellows, Ariel is the leading protector of the Forest of Dreamers. He does his best to enact the will of the spirits, fae, and gods about him, holding off the more nefarious will of the Unseelie King Oberon.He came to power rather rapidly during the end of the Dreamlands Civil War, and has held careful rule ever since.
Notes
| The Fair King | - Lost within the Forest of the Dreamers? You may just come across a whimsical, elegant land of crystal towers and fluttering silk. The king may welcome you past the gates! Just beware the denizens within...| Ranger with a Cause | - Lost DEEP within the Forest of the Dreamers when you dream? A violet-clad ranger with one eye might find you, and lead you to safety. It's okay - you can trust him! ...Probably!
Is the prospect of change not a lovely one?
