Altruistic Society of Fanged Crescent Expatriates

  OTHARD'S MOUNTAINOUS HEART   The Fanged Crescent is an all but forgotten region, graced with little lore provided by Square Enix. It lies between Yanxia, the Burn, and the Azim Steppe, mentioned in but a few flavor texts on a few items in game in the English version. Because of this, we have created a large amount of fan lore for this region, to the end that we would be able to roleplay characters from an area not often encountered.We recommend checking out our lore document below for more in-depth info on how we roleplay the Crescent. Otherwise, check out some quick information below.

  SERVING THOSE OF THE CRESCENT   The Altruistic Society of Fanged Crescent Expatriates was founded by a small group of immigrants from the Crescent who have settled in Eorzea. Founded by aunt and niece duo Erayo no Uyo and Joutouguu Mayumi, the Society, modeled after a religious society back in the homeland, seeks to enhance the lives of all children of the Crescent who now call Eorzea and lands surrounding home. Of particular concern are the propagation of Fanged Crescent culture, access to priests and religious materials, and ensuring members receive fair employment and wages. It is not necessary to be from the Crescent to join the Society, one must simply support its mission.The group's sigil, printed at right, depicts a popular motif in the Crescent, representing the interplay between different extremes. Inside, two crescent moons represent the mountains encircling the region, both oriented in the same direction to represent the facing of the peaks on a north-facing map. The four orbs surrounding represent the scattered children of the Crescent returning to the Society for succor.

  REAL ESTATE   The Society owns a small complex in the Doman Quarter of western Ul'dah. The building has a long history, used for such diverse purposes as an inn, a bordello, a church, and a private manor, but it was abandoned after the Calamity. Now, it has been repurposed as a small center for people of the Crescent to congregate, with a kitchen, a traditional outdoor tapchan, a small office, a worship space, and myriad rooms for the Society to live and work in.While the Society's headquarters is located within the city walls of Ul'dah in-character, it can be visited by going to Ward 4, Plot 32 on Mateus.
